After owning the laptop for a while, it's possible that you'll find yourself aching for something slightly zippier. But worry not. Standard, this Nitro 5 notebook comes with just 8GB of RAM and a 1TB hard drive, but you can upgrade it to add another 8GB of memory and install a SATA-based M.2 SSD ( Acer says it won't support NVMe SSDs ). Those two upgrades won't cost you much, and in the meantime, you can jump in on a gaming laptop without splurging on a more high-end configuration.
Other specifications include a 15.6-inch 1080p resolution display, 802.11ac Wi-Fi support and a backlit keyboard. The laptop measures 1.1 inches thick and weighs a hair under 6 pounds.
