6/20/2023 0 Comments Acer 514 release dateThe new Acer Nitro 5 looks like it could really redefine what we expect from a mid-range gaming laptop. The Intel model, however, should still be a good choice for people who are on more of a budget. Serious gamers, then will want to go with the AMD model, which offers more power. Meanwhile, the Intel model only offers 1080p resolution at 144Hz, and the GPU sticks with the GeForce GTX 1650. The AMD model is also the one with Nvidia’s latest RTX 3000 series GPUs. One thing to note is that there are a lot more configurations with the AMD model compared to the Intel one, which makes us feel like the AMD one is Acer’s preferred version.įor example, with the AMD model, you can choose between a 1080p screen with huge 360Hz refresh rates, or a QHD (1440p) screen at 165Hz. The included components certainly suggest that the Nitro 5 in any configuration will offer a great gaming experience, and we can’t wait to really put it through its paces. When playing games, however, you’ll want to plug in a standard mouse.Īs this is an early hands-on, we weren’t able to test out the performance, but Windows 10 felt snappy while we used it. The touchpad is offset slightly to the left which may take a little getting used to, but worked well enough during our time with it in Windows 10. It feels responsive and comfortable to use. The red-accented keyboard remains the same as the previous model, with a 4-zone RGB backlight. As with any gaming laptop with powerful components, making sure everything is kept as cool as possible is a must, and it’s clear Acer has thought hard about this. The power connector has also been moved to the back of the new Nitro 5, which allows for better placement of the exhaust fans. Not only does this allow Acer to shrink the overall size of the Nitro 5 (2021) without reducing the size of the screen, but it also makes the new Nitro 5 feel more modern and premium. Acer tells us that the screen-to-body ratio is now 80%, with the bezels narrowed to 7.02mm. This is thanks to some changes Acer has made to the design, most noticeably by slimming down the bezels around the screen. It’s actually a little bit thinner and lighter than last year’s Nitro 5 model.
