Acer Nitro 16 Gaming Laptop | AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS Octa-Core CPU | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU | 16" WQXGA 165Hz IPS Display | 16GB DDR5 | 1TB Gen 4 SSD | Wi-Fi 6E | RGB Backlit KB | AN16-41-R5KC

This Acer might be the best option for price to performance, right now. The 4060 and 7840hs are more than powerful enough to drive the 1920x1200 resolution at max settings, high refresh rate in every modern game I've tried out. It's really a perfectly balanced set-up, for spec, that should last quite a while. The laptop has solid build quality, stays pretty quiet in all but the Turbo setting (I generally just use Performance. Nearly the same clock/ CPU speeds, but fans aren't maxed out), and has great repairability/ upgradeability (just unscrew the bottom plate, pop it off, and everything is right there). The IPS screen is quite nice, and the extra vertical space you get with the 1920x1200 res, over standard 1920x1080 really benefits the viewing experience. Keyboard is pretty good, and the RGB is solid, if you're into that (I use it as key lighting primarily). Not a huge fan of touchpads without deparated mouse buttons, but this one is overall fine, I just use a usb mouse when I need it. Speakers aren't great (standard for laptops), but, the laptop comes stock with DTS:X, which makes a huge difference. It boosts the sound a ton, and adds a ton more depth and scope to the sound. I'd highly recommend keeping it installed, and running it. I don't even use headphones (as i normally would), it's so good. I've been able to play everything I own at max settings (modern games included), taking advantage of the 165hz Gsync panel. May have to enable DLSS, or frame gen, etc. when dealing with RTX, but the 4060 has it covered. Temps are awesome. In the heaviest loads, GPU maxes out around 70c and CPU gets to the 80s. Overall, I think it's an amazing value for a gaming set-up, and really well balanced in the spec department, and would easily recommend it

This unit is designed to be a replacement for a gamers desktop machine. It gets pretty close. I am able to run nearly all high-end AAA titles with no stuttering. Some graphical glitches at extreme (overclocked) settings are usually the norm. It runs games great at unclocked speeds with the extreme 165Mhz. But I wanted to see what would bring the system to a halt, and I tried to do some DVD ripping (nothing illegal). After about 5 minutes, the system overheated and shutdown. Very good IMO. I want a machine to shut down when it's overloaded. This tells me that the system is tailor-made for a specific group of users and optimized for them. All upgrade parts were purchased on Amazon. I upgraded the memory with Crucial CT2K16G56C46S5 (DDR 32Gb CL46) and added two M.2 drives (TEAMGROUP TM8FP7002T0C311 (2 Tb) with graphene heat spreaders). I chose the latter because this is a laptop and therefore has little room for thermal attachments, and the graphene heat-spreader was just the ticket for this application. The memory was my second choice as the first set did not run in the unit. The first set that failed to run were the G.SKILL Ripjaws (F5-5600S4040A16GX2-RS). My second go at research indicated that the laptop could not use CL40 memory. Anyway, the Crucial CL46s are running superb, so I can't really say for certain whether the CL timings were the culprit. Cheers!

I got this laptop on sale during the holidays so was lucky to snag an awesome deal. Performance-wise this laptop runs pretty much flawlessly on modern games (Alan Wake 2, Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut, Counter-Strike 2). I run these games at max/near-max settings on Balance Mode. There are other options to overclock your device easily in real-time with the push of the on-keyboard Nitro button. The Nitro Sense app that comes with the device is also pretty interesting/cool in that you can see real-time performance stats of the GPU, CPU, RAM, as well as running temperatures. They keyboard is backlit with various color options accessible through the same Nitro Sense app. The touch of the keys feels smooth yet solid. In terms of how this laptop performs compared to luxury/high-end laptops... I ran the 3D Mark Demo on steam and I'd rate it 78-81 per cent. 100 per cent being the ultimate latest cutting edge game laptops. Considering the price for luxury gaming laptops, this Nitro 17 Acer is an amazing performer with a nice big monitor. I am very happy and satisfied with my purchase and see myself using it for the next 5 years at least. Startup time is also great too. Solid State Drive 1 TB that boots up in about 30 seconds or less.

This laptop is awesome. I love it. It runs all the games I play (COD, Fortnite, MGS3, Apex, WoW) flawlessly without any issues. The only thing I really don't like is that when I have it plugged in with the charger and try to run a game, it'll freeze and I'll have to do a hard restart to get it to work again. I found that if it's unplugged the issue won't happen though. as far as I know there isn't a fix for that issue. Other than that it's everything I expected and more.

When I intended to buy this product, I hesitated too much because I found some negative reviews below. However, I learned that satisfying all types of people is something impossible and having negative reviews doesn’t always mean that the product is not good! Honestly, I’m extremely happy with this product, it is genuine and worth the price, I’m using it since three months and I haven’t faced any single issue. Perhaps those negative reviews were written because of shipping issues or ignoring the Acer User’s Manual instructions. Finally, my advice is: make sure you select a proper shipping company that has good reputation, go ahead and place your order as long as you need it, and always read & follow the User’s Manual.

A unos días que me llegó, mi hijo y yo estamos satisfechos con la compra ya que cumplió con lo que se esperaba, para sus tareas, juegos y soporta bien al conectarle y procesar con un programa su guitarra electrica. MUY BUENA COMPRA.
