The new Acer Nitro 5 is already to pre-order, months before its expected arrival. Retailers are offering the 15.6-inch edition with up to an AMD Ryzen 7 5800H and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, but Ryzen 9 5900HX SKUs should eventually be available. Acer has released Intel versions of the new Nitro 5, too.

It looks like Intel doesnt learn.
Model with RTX 3060 and i5-10300h is in identical price as Ryzen 5600H which will be more than 50% faster in multicore and better in single core too.
I had purchased Acer nitro 5 in Nov. 20. From receipt of the item, it is not working. I am fed up due to loosing my son's online classes. I am doing lot of corrospodance with Acer team but yet no action.
Secondly the display is also not as per published or as per order.
Pl. Careful of on purchasing.
I think it's a bargain considering the current prices of graphics cards..
3060 maxq or 3060 Max p?
Acer is now a legit manufacturer and I will consider these as a replacement long term productivity and entertainment machine. They and HP used to have poor reputations.
OTTO initially had a preorder running for March 2021 but it was sold out in a matter of hours - OTTO then delayed next shipment date to July 2021 - so its not that miracle the article author thinks it is. ;)
Btw ive ordered the 17 inch ryzen 5800 rtx 3060 model, also with July to be delivered - it was rebated to 1152€ for a day so yeah, quite a steal for german prices. :)
