The Acer Nitro V is one of the most popular gaming laptops in the country, and it’s easy to see why. I call this particular model “Old Faithful” because it’s stuck around for a long time and frequently goes on sale — like today, when you can pick it up with a Ryzen 5 processor and an RTX 4050 graphics card for just $600. That’s $350 off its original price.
At this price, it doesn’t have the latest and greatest hardware. But a six-core AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS paired with 16GB of DDR5 RAM is pretty darn solid in anyone’s book. Ditto for the Nvidia RTX 4050 laptop GPU with 6GB of VRAM. It’s not going to play Indiana Jones in 4K with all the trimmings, but it’s more than powerful enough to get decent performance out of the latest games, and it’ll chew through less-intense 3D games or 2D titles like nobody’s business. Just don’t expect it to last long on battery power, no matter what you’re doing.
Other features include a 15.6-inch 1080p IPS screen with a speedy 144Hz refresh rate, 512GB of storage, HDMI 2.1 for connecting to a monitor or TV, and three USB-A ports plus one USB-C. You should be able to use the USB-C port for charging, but the barrel charge in the box will be a lot faster. Also, you can upgrade both the RAM and the storage with standard SO-DIMM (two slots) and M2 parts,
PCWorld has a full review of the Nitro V right here, but note that our review unit was an Intel model with half the memory.
If you’ve made your decision, hop on over to Best Buy while you still can. I think you’re unlikely to find a better deal on this particular model anytime soon… but we do see it pop up around the same price often, so you don’t need to be in a huge hurry.
