I like how spread out all of the ports are, as well as the fact that they cover a wide range of standards and provide multiple connectivity options. On the left side is a 3.5mm audio jack, a traditional USB 3.2 Gen 1 port, and an RJ45 Ethernet jack. The charging port is on the backside of the Nitro, as well as a Thunderbolt 4/USB-C port and an HDMI 2.1 port. On the right side you'll find the two USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, one of which will provide power to charge a device (such as your smartphone) even when the Nitro 5 is off.

It measures 14.19 x 10.67 x 1.06 inches and weighs 5.51 pounds you're definitely going to know when it's in your backpack. It's a basic design with a bit of gaming flair thanks to an RGB backlit keyboard with four different zones, red Nitro text, and a pinstripe-like effect on the lid.
