Review: Great Laptop - Update: After more than 6 months of use this laptop is surprisingly good. No complaints on my model (R5+RX 560X) Some reviews mention lag, this is a very easy fix. Step 1: Update drivers, use DDU if necessary ( google it) Step 2: In Radeon Settings - System - Switchable Graphics - For each game you run make sure High Performance is selected. (You will need to enter the game and then exit to register in the list for you to change) Additionaly Windows 10 will try to force power saving on your gaming laptop. To stop that go to Power Options - Change plan settings - Select Switchable Dynamic Graphics and make sure Maximise Performance is selected. In the same list there's AMD Power Play Settings - Maximise those as well. Yes you're battery life will take a hit but you bought a gaming laptop so what did you expect? :) -End of Update- This is an excellent laptop for work and play. The AMD Ryzen quad core processor is fast enough to handle any task with ease. It's a very efficient processor that does not consume lots of battery power, as it's rated for 15W TDP. Battery life is quite good. The dedicated graphics card is an AMD RX560X and it performs very well in most games at 1080p medium. I'm really happy with the performance so far. All the games I play run very smoothly and look excellent on the IPS Full HD screen. This graphics card is comparable to a GTX 1050 if you're wondering. The laptop comes with an M.2 SSD for the operating system and it does the job just fine. There's also a standard 1TB HDD for lots of storage. I would always recommend you have and SSD for the operating system as it makes things so much faster. In therms of RAM it comes with 8GB (4GBx2) dual channel which is excellent. In terms of performance, this allows you to run multiple apps in the same time, you can game, alt-tab to browsing, listening to musing, download stuff all in the same time as windows harassing you for an update. By comparison, a system with only 4GB single channel would be crippled trying to do all of that. Overall this is an excellent laptop, with fantastic performance. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to work and play games. PS: Highly recommended if you get the laptop on offer :P
Review: The cheapest 144hz gaming experience - I bought the nitro 5 in the prime day sales after looking for a cheap 144hz gaming laptop for a while. There wasn't much info on the 144hz model but I went for it because the £750 price seemed like a good deal. So here's my thoughts after a month of use. Gaming results are solid the gtx 1060 is still a good enough gpu and will run most games at 60 fps with at least medium settings. Only esports games such as overwatch and csgo will be able to fully utilise the 144hz display though. At low settings overwatch runs great you wont get a better experience at this price. The display is just ok but its fine for gaming. Its definitely not the best 144hz panel in a laptop but for the price I paid im very happy. Thermal performance is poor and I think this model is probably the worst for thermals. Depending on the game cpu temps regularly get into the 90s even with max fan speed enabled. I undervolted the cpu by -1.15 which does help keep temps in the 80s without sacrificing performance. This laptop comes with 8gb ram in dual channel which I was unaware of when buying. For most games this is plenty only more cpu heavy games will benefit from upgrading but for that you will have to replace both sticks of ram for it to be dual channel. Luckily this is super easy to do on this laptop, just one screw and you can get to the ram slots. The 512gb m.2 ssd is super nice and unexpected for this price range, there is a 2.5 inch bay for expanding storage if you wanted. Not sure if there is a second m.2 slot but at the moment 512gb ssd is fine for me. Considering this laptop cost me £750 I can't really complain too much about thermal issues. This laptop satisfies my needs for a cheap 144hz gaming experience.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great screen and sound
*by J***E on 16 May 2018*

Have to say, as a long time geek I have had many laptops and desktops, from many brands (including self built) and I am really Impressed with this. Looks aside (which the pictures don’t do it justice by the way) lets start with the negatives. Erm, ok, so the only niggle I have is the keyboard layout and that’s a really small niggle. The keys feel nice to use, the led lighting is good and the screen is amazing. Performance wise, no issues thanks to the ssd for the os. Games performance is ok, about what you would expect at this price point. It’s. Its not breaking any records but for occasional gaming at decent resolutions it holds it own. Wi-fi is stable and not too much bloatware. Sound quality was surprisingly good. All round really pleased with it.
