Hi, I’ve recently put some posts asking what laptop should I buy. I got some quality advice, so thanks for that guys. I’ve finally bought (well, paid, it’s not reached yet) the acer Nitro 5.

I know the battery is shit, planning to check the thunderbolt port to use an external power bank. But other than that the specs seem awesome, the reviews also say the same. There’s just no other deal that gives a display like this with the specs. I hope the build quality is good, I’ve bought an external extended warranty, so the risk is minimised (I hope).

What do you guys think? This is my first gaming laptop. Is there anything I should do first on receiving? Any ideas how to extend the provided battery’s life? Is Win10/11 better for this hardware? Can I use it for like the next 4 years?

I do use linux on my current PC, but does linux improve battery life more than windows, is it possible to permanently disable the Nvidia GPU in linux to improve battery life?

Yes. From either OS you should be able to access the BIOS configuration menu and have an option to disable your GPU card as you need (might be called a Discrete/Integrated graphics option).
