Acer’s Nitro 5 gaming laptop with RTX 3050 and 144Hz display now $700 (Refurb, Orig. $840)

Orig. $840/$700

Acer’s official eBay storefront is offering its Nitro 5 Gaming Laptop i5/8GB/256GB/RTX 3050 at $699.99 shipped in certified refurbished condition. For comparison, it originally sold for $840 but now fetches $803 at Amazon in new conditions, with today’s deal marking the lowest price that we’ve tracked for this laptop. If you’re looking for a great way to game on-the-go this spring, the Nitro 5 is up to the task. While it won’t bring 1440p or 4K at 144Hz, you’ll find that it should handle most games at medium to high settings on the internal 1080p 144Hz display quite nicely. Plus, you can upgrade the 8GB of RAM and 256GB M.2 NVMe SSD to be larger should that need arise down the road. You’ll also score a full 2-year warranty with purchase, and you can learn more about eBay’s certified refurbished program in our hands-on coverage. Keep reading for more.

You won’t find a current-generation gaming laptop for less than today’s lead deal, instead, you’ll have to step back into a model without a dedicated graphics card to save more. You’ll find the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 Laptop, which boasts a Ryzen 5 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of SSD storage, is available at Amazon for $430 right now. All-in-all, for office or productivity tasks, this will be on par with today’s lead deal for most things outside of creative workflows since it lacks a dedicated graphics card.

Don’t forget that the 8Bitdo Pro 2 Bluetooth Controller is currently on sale for a rare price of $42.50, which just so happens to mark a new Amazon low that we’ve tracked. With the built-in Bluetooth of today’s lead deal, you’ll be able to pair the Pro 2 controller for on-the-go gaming with your favorite titles, new or old.
