Hi, I’ve recently put some posts asking what laptop should I buy. I got some quality advice, so thanks for that guys. I’ve finally bought (well, paid, it’s not reached yet) the acer Nitro 5.

I know the battery is shit, planning to check the thunderbolt port to use an external power bank. But other than that the specs seem awesome, the reviews also say the same. There’s just no other deal that gives a display like this with the specs. I hope the build quality is good, I’ve bought an external extended warranty, so the risk is minimised (I hope).

What do you guys think? This is my first gaming laptop. Is there anything I should do first on receiving? Any ideas how to extend the provided battery’s life? Is Win10/11 better for this hardware? Can I use it for like the next 4 years?

    I don’t know much about Acer’s proprietary software but there must be some place that you can set your battery to charge up to 60-80%. If you plan to use it while plugged most of the time, choose that option, it will extend your battery life.

    Yes, with the proper care, your laptop can last you many years. It all comes down to how you handle it and maintain it.
