The exterior of the laptop is all-black, then, except for a red Nitro logo printed across the hinge and a hard red plastic grill that surrounds the back vents.

This is also the case for the arrow keys and the “Nitro” key. To maintain extra contrast on the WASD keys, though, this model also adds red outlines to the very edges of the top of their keycaps, as well as gives them a slightly different font. Compared to previous Nitro 5 models, which had all-black keycaps with red lettering, all the keycaps on this model have red outlines on their sides to help keys stand out. Opening the lid reveals that the Nitro brand’s black and red motif now spreads across the whole keyboard.

One big change here over previous versions of this laptop is that the lid is now largely flat, which looks a bit more modern. The lid also has decorative angular indents on its otherwise flat surface. The main look here is “angles.” The laptop case itself is cut into angles at the corner and angular vents adorn the back and side. Otherwise, the design changes are largely aesthetic, though they give the laptop a modern feel compared to previous iterations. This year’s Acer Nitro 5 sports a slightly new look when compared to previous models, with the key difference being a slightly thinner quarter-inch side bezel around the screen.
