Design & first look

The Nitro 5 is a 15-inch máy tính xách tay laptop with a plastic-built chassis and outer-case, as well as a fairly simple design, at least in comparison lớn most other gaming notebooks available out there.

It still gets some red elements, but at least there are no flashing lights và obtruding logos. There is however one arguable kiến thiết decision: the carbon-fiber like pattern on the interior and lid, which personally I’m not a tín đồ of. It’s not hideous, but I would have preferred a simpler shell.

That aside though, the 2018 Nitro 5 is identical khổng lồ last year’s mode in terms of construction và ports selection, and you can find our in-depth opinions about these over here.
