Acer Nitro 15.6" 5 Black
The Acer Nitro 5 supports Wi-Fi 6 for faster internet speeds and its 8GB RAM can be upgraded up to 64GB. However, there is no information on warranty coverage for accidental damage, and the performance of the RTX 3050 with AAA games on the 144Hz display is not detailed. Additionally, it is unclear if pre-installed software affects the 1TB SSD storage.

- Upgradable RAM up to 64GB
Cons
- No accidental damage warranty info
- Unclear AAA game performance on RTX 3050
