Our verdict

An entry gaming laptop with a current RTX graphics chip and a fast refresh screen. Memory is an older type and battery life will be short while gaming.

Overview

Playing current games at full HD on a fast refresh screen is the job of this Acer Nitro V, which pairs an Intel Core processor with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX laptop GPU. A backlit keyboard and a Thunderbolt port round it out.

Getting modern RTX features such as ray tracing and AI frame tools into an entry gaming laptop is the strongest argument. Memory is an older type and the GPU has a modest memory pool, so the newest games need tuned settings.

Who it's for

Esports titles and mainstream games at full HD match this laptop well. People needing long unplugged sessions or heavy rendering should look at higher tier machines.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Current generation RTX graphics
  • Fast refresh full HD screen
  • Thunderbolt port with DisplayPort
  • Memory upgradable to a high ceiling
Cons
  • Older DDR4 memory type
  • Modest battery capacity for gaming
  • Screen brightness not listed

Performance notes

Frame rates depend mostly on the RTX GPU and its memory, with DLSS style AI rendering helping in supported games. The Intel processor handles streaming and multitasking in the background. Battery runtime falls sharply under gaming loads, so plan to play plugged in.
