I know ur the laptop go to man. I've been around long enough. Lol. And I've bought a couple off ur posts. How's this as far as build and cooling? I was looking to get a decent gaming laptop for my wife. I know the nitros used to be not so good on the cooling side. But haven't been paying attention as much the last year or so. I shoulda pulled the trigger on the Alienware a while back

Does anyone know what is the difference/s between this one and the one sold at Bestbuy? AN515-46-R5XN vs AN515-46-R7D8. Besides the model number I can't find any difference on the Acer website.

I was at BestBuy earlier this week and the Nitro 5 there sounds like an airplane sitting idle on the desk. It was really loud for me walking by two aisles away and be like "Which airplane is that? Let me go take a look."
Not sure if it's the same model and lots of factors could lead to the result (for example, someone turned on performance mode or changed some settings, or perhaps Intel CPU vs AMD).

The reviews I have seen so far, performance wise, it is pretty strong contender and so is the display quality. It goes way over 300-nits and the color gamut on this display is awesome, far better than legion 5 pro and 7 Pro, covering just 75% DCI-P3. However, the build quality is not top notch and there are some corner cuts here and there and the battery size is small. If you're planning to use it mostly in desk, then this is a pretty good contender. And another thing, this is pretty loud at highest performance mode when both cpu and gpu are stressed.

Could easily be from poorly coded programs on the laptop, bad driver, unresponsive service, etc.
