Great for price. Expected downgrades are not deal-breakers, except maybe battery
This is an all-plastic laptop, but has a fairly rigid build, not like metal, but far less flex on the screen than my 5 year old Acer Aspire which needed many replacements due to flexing including a cracked screen, hinges, and back cover. This has 8 GB memory. This has and older GTX 1650. This has a 120hz display (unheard of at this price point) This has 256SSD m.2. It has a backlit Keyboard. It has an amazing processor: AMD Ryzen 5. Here's the deal. You can get similarly priced laptops that have more storage and RAM, touchscreen, etc... but you will trade down the pieces that future-proof this machine. I can walk into Walmart and get a similarly priced Pentium, i3 or a similarly priced i5 with more RAM or storage or maybe a touchscreen (if that’s important to you), but no dedicated graphics, no backlit keyboard, or expansion slots for ram or SSD. However, I can always buy more RAM or hard drive later when the price will actually be lower. I can NOT come back later and upgrade the CPU, add slots to increase the RAM, and all of a sudden make my keyboard visible in the dark when I want to work late at night sometime. I can't later upgrade the screen to 120hz as this one has. And, the GPU at this price range is perfectly adequate (Although not as future-proof). The Battery has a LOT to be desired and could be a deal breaker. I can get 5 to 6 hours if optimized back (all but battery-saver mode). My old Acer had 12 hour battery, but the screen was a significant tradeoff. Some people are saying only 6 GB RAM. That is because of the new way Ryzen processors use dedicated RAM instead of shared RAM. There is 8, it is just that old processors shared the RAM with the system. Now the new processors are dedicating part of the RAM to the processor permanently. It isn't too much different than before, but does change the way the RAM is handled and displays for availability for Windows. My system is gaming fine right now with the existing setup, but I'm not a power user. I'll wait until I can't live with the performance and then I'll go buy more RAM and SSD when it comes down lower in price, because I can. Beware of machines that downgrade built in pieces to give you more memory and hard-drive, but will be outdated in 4-7 years instead of 7-10+ years depending on what you plan to do with the machine. Those are not good tradeoffs. Lenovo seems to have hit a sweet spot in this price range with its optimal upgradeability and good built in features for for the price you pay. If you need a power machine, this is not it. This is a good midrange machine that will allow you to do a diverse amount of tasks without lagging out or crashing, and should last a long time with the specs it has.

Best Budget Gaming Laptop
When I first had my Nitro 5, there was a lot I loved about. It could reach 120fps and was decent for most of my games. I loved it. But when I had to upgrade, I genuinely didn't want to spend too much as a working student. I did a lot of research and yes, the top brands of ACER , ASUS, HP, ALIEN they had great laptops obviously. But finding this one was a god sent. I can clock out at 240fps on most of my games. The upgrades to 16gb RAM and to add my HYBRID drive was flawlessly easy. The design is very sleek, mint fresh and effortlessly classy and simple. In fact, it stays well hidden as a gaming laptop. It's lightweight and easily portable for travel as a student compared to the 7lbs most gaming pcs start with. The cons I had with this were it was a bit smaller than the average 15.6 laptop. A bit. Measured, it's a direct 15.6 but still pales by a slight inch to normal laptops. The other issue is that the fans are beneath and there is no air flow towards the back of the laptop. So, I would advise investing in a cooling pad for playing demanding games in order to protect your laptop. Furthermore, it only has two USB ports. Not a massive deal as I can easily buy an external USB device to add more ports but it was a let down. Apart from that, those are all the cons I would say, which pale in comparison to the pros. In conclusion, this is a beast of a laptop. To find an affordable laptop which upgrades easily and has amazing fps and runs smoothly while providing easy portability is rare. The cons are things which can be easily overlooked due to the vast amount of pros this offers. If you're looking for a budget gaming laptop as a student, this is definitely your buy.

Amazing for its price
Ive had this for about a year now, great for any game I want to play. Amazing 120hz screen, its 1080p and has pretty good color matching. Performance is great, the Ryzen 5 5600h is amazing for any game and any task. The GTX 1650 is a little outdated but is good at gaming any game at mid to high settings and still get above 60fps. Great at rending, great at video and photo editing, and the coolers keep the cpu and gpu from over heating, have not had any thermal throttling at all. The port selections are good, having a type c hub is good if you have external accessories like me. Both USB type A ports are nice and fast, and the type c can do anything a usb c can do. Best buy for how much i got it for, which was $650. Good laptop if you're into moblie gaming but don't care about playing 4k at 200fps. Great for kids, cheap on price, but not performance. Only thing I did was upgrade the ram and storage and its been running perfect since. Out of all the other gaming laptops out there this one is best price for what you're getting.

Es una computadora bastante buena, la recomiendo en lo absoluto, pero debes tener en consideración las siguientes partes.. 1. No cuenta con suficiente almacenamiento, por lo que obligatoriamente tendrás que agregar, al menos otros 500 gb, la ventaja es que puedes agregar un SSD de tipo NVM, o uno convencional sata 3, pero no los dos al mismo tiempo. 2. La RAM es rápida pero si quieres tener el mejor provecho debes agregar otros 8gb, para hacer el dual Chanel, ya que juegos demandantes como Warzone, no te deja jugarlo con 8gb, que realmente solo puedes usar 6.1gb, ya que tiene cierto espacio, para los gráficos integrados, cosa que puedes modificar entrando a la BIOS, para esto debes de usar un pincho, el que usas para sacar la SIM de tu celular, ese mismo, del lado derecho el equipo trae un orificio, le das un pinchazo y entras a la BIOS, podrás encontrar tutoriales, de como bajarle memoria a los gráficos integrados, que no es complicado. 3. La batería es bastante mala dura 2 horas o 2 1/2, pero recordemos que esta diseñada para el Gaming. 4. El brillo no es el mejor, y por lo demás creo que es un gran equipo, que lo recomiendo si lo encuentras por menos de 15,500 pesos, de otra manera hay equipos mucho mejor. 5. Las temperaturas y los ventiladores son muy buenos, pero debes tenerlo elevado unos centímetros de la mesa, para que pueda correr bien el aíre, de esta manera incluso jugando GTA V en gráficos ultra, no llegas a los 70° centígrados. 6. Es una gran compra, como digo si lo encuentras por un precio acorde a las características, y sobre todo a mi me lo envió amazon de estados unidos, por lo que no tuve problemas con la entrega, de hecho llego 2 días antes de lo acordado.

I puchased this machien on November 2021, and I got bricked this machien from 6th sept 2022 (it is under warranty). I purchased this machien on UAE and i got bricked in India during my vacation. So I mailed lenovo india to service this machien under warranty. But they simply said to me this machien made in USA and warranty services covered only from there. I checked there website for my laptop servieces country and found USA,UAE,India none of these three countries are not entitled for my machiens warranty services. Now I'm totally stuck, regretting to purchase this machien. I googled about this issue and I found so many costomers with bios bricked Lenovo products. If you are an expat please keep in mind, No more Lenovo.

Buen producto funciona muy bien

De verdad que por el precio no hay ninguna otra opción, es la única en su rango de precio/calidad. En general es una muy buena laptop por el precio x2, no se le puede exigir más. Va volando en cuanto a cosas básicas como office, andar por el sistema y por Internet. Se siente muy muy fluida. En los juegos solo he probado 4, csgo, lol, rainbow six siege y fortnite, y en generak va bien si lo configuras con la app de geoforce experience. En csgo voy a unos 300 fps, con bajones a 250. Muy bien la verdad. En lol lo limite a 200 e igual siempre anda entre 150 y 200 fps. En fortnite va de 120 fps con bajones a unos 90 u 85, bastante bien, creo. En rainbow six casi siempre va a 120 con bajones a 100 fps. AUNQUE, yo le puse 8gb de ram a 2666Mhz, por lo que tengo 16 gb, aunque solo 14 disponibles. Y como digo, los juegos irán bien dependiendo de como lo configures al igual que la laptop. Igual en almacenamiento te vas a quedar corto, pues los juegos ocupan mucho espacio. Yo recomiendo que si es para gaming 100% hay que ponerle al menos 1tb más. Pero, yo le pondré 1tb de ssd nvme, so, son como 2000 pesos más de eso. Y 1000 más de 8 gb de ram. Pero como venía de base también es buena laptop. Yo la recomendaría 100%.

Llegó incluso más rápido de lo que esperaba. Venía en perfectas condiciones aunque parecía que el sistema operativo venía mal instalado porque desde la configuración inicial me dio un problema cuando trató de reiniciarse por sí misma, después de un par de días cuando la reinicie ya no iniciaba windows. Fue un gran susto, incluso me planteé devolverla porque pensé que habría algún problema de hardware. Afortunadamente lo pude solucionar reinstalando windows desde la página oficial y con una memoria usb. También hay algo que me confunde y es que aquí se vende la versión con windows 10 y windows 11 (más cara), compré la versión con windows 10, pero pude actualizar sin problemas a windows 11. Así que mi consejo es que pueden comprar la versión con windows 10 y actualizar después. En el aspecto físico, me gustó que mantiene una apariencia discreta (a muchos les gusta llamar la atención, pero en mi caso es todo lo contrario). El físico no aparenta ser una computadora potente, pero créanme que es increíble por un precio tan bajo (La compré en 16K). El procesador es más potente que un i9 de 8va gen. para laptop y la gráfica sinceramente me sorprendió, he podido correr juegos como el Rise of the Tomb Rider a 1080p y con todo a la máxima calidad posible a 60fps estables. También hice un par de pruebas con el almacenamiento y alcance velocidades de lectura y escritura secuencial de unos 2000MB/s. Algo que me hubiera gustado es que tuviera un poco más de almacentamiento, aunque la misma caja trae las piezas para instalar un disco duro o un SSD sata. Aunque yo solucioné mi falta de almacenamiento con discos duros externos ya que no sé si se pierda la garantía al abrir la computadora por cuenta propia. Otra de las cosas que me inquietaban era la poca memoria RAM, ya que aunque trae un módulo de 8GB, 2 están reservados para la gráfica integrada del procesador y el 70-80% restante son utilizados por el sistema operativo. Mi experiencia es que se llena casi por completo al momento de jugar, aunque parece que el SO hace bien su trabajo gestionando esa memoria ya que no me ha dado ninún cuello de botella, aunque sí recomendaría ampliar la memoria con otro módulo de 8GB si tienes otras aplicaciones de fondo mientras juegas. En resumen, tiene una estética sobria pero elegante, un buen rendimiento por un precio justo, y posibilidades de expansión como un M.2 (o un disco duro o SSD) y un slot extra para otro módulo RAM.
