Our verdict
Reviewed by Burooj Alam. Rated by us, not by users.
Expert rating7.3 / 10
The Nitro 5 AN515-57 pairs a Core i5-11400H with RTX 30 series graphics, 16GB of DDR4 and a 512GB drive. The 15.6 inch 1080p IPS panel runs at 144Hz, and it has two storage slots and support for up to 32GB of memory.
The listing gives no weight and the 57.48Wh battery is modest for a gaming laptop, so expect to stay near a charger. Check ports, including Thunderbolt, before buying.
