The situation for COVID-19 is quite dire. As of today, the Malaysian Prime Minister has announced that it will go on until 14^th of April 2020. That also means that working from home has extended thanks to that as well. While to some people, that also means that they get to spend more time at home working. That also means that they need to bring their work home from the office. You cannot expect everyone to bring their big tower PCs home.

So the best way to get work done from home is to have your own PC. If you do get your own PC though, you want it to be powerful. You want it to be powerful enough to play games with it and to ensure that it runs smoothly. Of course, you only want the best for yourself. So the choice is a gaming PC.

Building a tower makes sense, plenty of sense, you get to have a say I how powerful you want your PC to be. Of course, there is the problem of cost too. So that is up to you. There is another issue however, how do you bring it around? What if you want to work off site in the future? You cannot bring your tower set up out.

So you need a gaming notebook PC instead. Which one? There are plenty, but Acer just updated their Nitro 5 gaming notebook PC. So, in a sense, you are getting more power for your money.

The updated Acer Nitro 5’s upgrade does not include an update on its visuals though. Then again, the Acer Nitro 5 is not half bad looking. The upgrades are mode than skin deep.

You get a 9^th Generation Intel Core i7 on the Nitro 5. That Core i7 has 8GB of RAM behind it and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660Ti GPU to handle what comes out of the 15.6-inch 120Hz Full HD display. All that makes is quite a powerful notebook PC. It even has a 512GB SSD to make it even faster than your average PC. All this is a step up from the previous Acer Nitro 5 with a 9th Generation Intel Core i5, paired to an NVIDIA GeForce GTX1650 and 4GB of RAM.

The new Acer Nitro 5 is now available for MYR 4,499 on Lazada. On Lazada’s 8^th Birthday Sale, it will go for MYR 4,184 and you would be getting some extra free gifts with the purchase too. The Lazada 8^th Birthday Sale happens on the 27^th March 2020. Of course they will deliver it to you.
