Acer Nitro 16 Gaming Laptop | AMD Ryzen 5 7640HS Hexa-Core CPU | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU | 16" WUXGA 165Hz IPS Display | 8GB DDR5 | 512GB Gen 4 SSD | WiFi 6E | RGB Backlit KB | AN16-41-R148

Solid "1080p" game player(1920x1200 in reality). Took if immediately from 16gb(2x8) to 32gb(2x16), and added an additional 1tb nvme for a total of 2tb. 165hz screen, solid keyboard, Nvidia rtx 4060, Ryzen 7 8845hs CPU.One downside is the fans can be quite noticable when playing demanding games. There's a quiet option for the fans, but then it'll run hot. Would be nice if the keyboard was RGB over the adjustable brightness orange color. It's also a bit heavy, but light enough to still be a laptop.For the $830 price point I got it at during prime days is totally worth it.

La Acer Nitro 16 con Ryzen 5 y RTX 4050 ofrece un rendimiento sorprendente en juegos AAA, superando mis expectativas para esta gamaCreo que es de las mejores opciones calidad, precio y endimiento actualmente. Eso sí, la RAM de fábrica (8 GB) se queda corta para multitarea y juegos exigentes, y los 512 GB de almacenamiento también se llenan muy rápido. Lo bueno es que tiene dos ranuras para RAM y dos para SSD M.2 Gen 4, así que se puede ampliar fácilmente. Con 16 o hasta 32 GB de RAM y un SSD de 1 TB, se le puede sacar todo el potencial quedando perfecta para todo tipo de usoEn cuanto al sistema de enfriamiento, le doy un 7.5/10: funciona bien, pero en sesiones largas de juego se calienta bastante, por lo que conviene alternar entre la GPU dedicada y la integrada según lo que estés haciendo. En resumen, si estás dispuesto a invertir un poco más en expansión, y tal vez en una base refrigerante es una laptop que rinde excelente y tiene todo el potencial para durar varios añosLe daria 4 estrellas por las mejoras internas que puede tener, pero por su rendimiento y calidad que ofrece a cambio de un precio razonable, estoy obligado a darle 5. Si estás dudando en comprarla o no, sinceramente yo la recomendaría a ojos cerrados

To keep it real, it is UNUSABLE with the 16GB of RAM that it comes with. And a 1TB SSD is a joke when every AAA game nowadays is running over 200GB each. So if you are comfortable with cracking it open and adding RAM and a second SSD then this is your laptop, and it's awesome. If you do not add RAM and an extra SSD then you will install 3 or 4 games and run out of disk space, and you will probably be able to play 25 out of every 30 seconds (the extra 5 seconds will be the system choking because it doesn't have enough memory). Forget about multi-tasking. OH - and make sure you disable the integrated video and only use the NVIDIA or you won't be able to play at all. Tested with WOW, POE, POE2, Diablo 4, Balder's Gate 3, and Hogwart's Legacy with Discord, Youtube, Steam, Battlenet, etc.

The laptop is good, and I love the colors, although at the time of purchase it was rather odd that the better model was slightly cheaper than the base model. That said, it allowed me to get all the pretty colors, so I'm not going to complain. I will say this about the laptop, and that is that Windows 11... well, Windows 11.After purchase and setup, upgrading the RAM and SSD, it initially felt like a downgrade to my previous laptop. Same brand and model (Acer Nitro) but it was the 5 model not 16. You'd think the bigger number would mean that its performance, when directly compared, would be better. Or that the speed would be noticeably different, since my previous laptop had 16GB of RAM and this one (after upgrading it) has 32GB of RAM. But it just feels slower. The only difference between the two is the OS (Windows 10 to Windows 11) so I'll blame the OS and say that the laptop itself is pretty, functional, and I like it.Some of the function key choices are bizarre, however, like the option to lock it. Acer does know that Windows has a built-in shortcut for that (Windows key + L, for those wondering) and that the previous model having brightness and volume on the arrow keys made it so that you could have other more important keys up on the function/F row? Right? I mean, it is completely missing one of my most used key binds, which is the monitor/screen off-key.If I wasn't as tech-savvy as I am, I wouldn't have thought to use Power Toys to change the key bindings. Though that did allow me to take out the superfluous Nitro Sense key and turn it into Print Screen. Other keys were moved around as well, though the function keys are unfortunately hard coded, so there is no way (that I'm aware of) to use the FN key + something Else other than those pre-selected by Acer.But this is getting long, and I have other work to do. Thanks, Amazon, for reminding me to review and distracting me today. I know, it's partially my own fault, but still.

Bought this a year ago after doing a lot of research on different laptops. Felt good about committing to this one because Acer is a reputable brand, and the Nitro 17 is well-reviewed. Of the 13 months I had it, I probably only regularly used it for 4 months, as I brought it on my work trips. I had never had an issue with it until 2 days ago, where it randomly shut down in the middle of a game I was playing. When I tried to start it back up, there was a “No Bootable Device” message shown (picture attached). The laptop didn’t seem all that warm, so I didn’t think it was an overheating issue. I went to the Acer support site, but they will only connect you with an agent if it’s in warranty, which I was ONE WEEK overdue on. They then referred to a 3rd party for support, where I would have to pay them for troubleshooting help. I didn’t do that, and ended up using a local computer repair shop. They are still troubleshooting it, but are pretty certain it’s a bad drive. Which is ridiculous, as this is only a year old, and barely used. I now have to shell out $100s of dollars to salvage use from something I paid over $1000 for. Very disheartened from this whole ordeal, especially from a brand as reputable as Acer.

Great for multi tasking. Fast and doesn't heat up.
