Nitro 5 with Ryzen for Next Level Gaming

The Nitro 5 powered by up to 2^nd Gen AMD Ryzen 7 3750H processor with Radeon RX 560X Graphics provides exceptional performance.

It features Acer’s Network Optimizer to optimize online gaming and keep the data flowing fast and strong. A specially configured easy-to-use GUI (graphical user interface) helps users manage their bandwidth in both Auto Mode — categorizing and prioritizing programs to eliminate network issues — or manually by letting users adjust the priorities, change the bandwidth for each application, or even block specific applications to get the best network experience.
