The Acer Nitro 5 has landed in India, and it makes history as the country's first gaming laptop to ship with the powerful NVIDIA RTX 3060 graphics card. Acer has offered the Nitro line before, but this latest model pairs that new GPU with a fast display and a 10th-generation Intel Core processor, promising a spectacular experience for anyone who plays heavy games. With demand for gaming laptops surging in India and rivals like Asus and Lenovo pushing hard, Acer is aiming squarely at value-conscious gamers.

Acer says this is not only India's first laptop with this graphics card, but also the most affordable laptop offering it, making it a strong pick for gamers on a budget.
Acer Nitro 5 features and design
Beyond the headline GPU, the Acer Nitro 5 brings a well-rounded feature set built for gaming. It uses an RGB-backlit keyboard that looks sharp and is comfortable in use.

Display and performance
