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?

    External battery pack for thunderbolt

    you’ll need to make sure its a pack that can deliver the required wattage

      A 100W one should be able to power it for lighter tasks, right? Won’t be gaming on the power bank.

          I have a PC that comes with a 300w charger. I can charge off a 100w GaN charger so long as my power profile is on battery saver. I’d expect the same for OP.

    I’ve got an older Nitro 5 which has served me well the past 4 years. Build quality is great compared to most other laptops I’ve had. Mine has no problem running Linux.
