Customer Ratings & Reviews

The family is loving this right out of the box. It is fast and meets our needs. I wish the fan was just a little bit quieter.

They love the computer. We checked it out. Everything runs fine awesome little laptop. I liked how fast it is. Schooling.

Was absolutely impressed with the gaming laptop! The speed is incredible!!

The pc is great at running most if not all of my steam games its is very light weight for anyone that’s on the go but there is one issue the battery life I don’t know if this is with all laptops but for some reason with 100% battery it has a life of 2 hours

Bought for my daughter for college and haven’t heard anything bad about it from her.

My son really loves this laptop . It has a great effects and an awesome picture.

Gaming laptops today come with so many features and at so many price points that it can be tough to determine what you truly need. For most casual gamers looking for a reliable laptop that seamlessly transitions between high performance gaming and daily productivity this Acer Nitro V 16 checks all the boxes. It hits that sweet spot by combining a larger screen, fast response times, and solid overall performance without feeling overly bulky or complicated to use. Right out of the box the overall design and feel of the laptop are practical while still offering a clean and premium look. The subtle black fits in just as well on a work or library desk as it does in a home gaming setup. The keyboard is comfortable for long gaming sessions or typing up documents, and the four zone backlighting is a nice customization touch compared to a standard flat white backlight. The 16 inch display gives you significantly more viewing area than a standard 14 or 15 inch laptop. Games feel much more immersive, and having the extra screen space makes side by side multitasking with multiple windows very comfortable. The high refresh rate keeps motion looking incredibly smooth, whether you are tracking fast action in games or just scrolling through web pages. Performance is snappy across the board. It handles modern games smoothly with crisp visuals, and having plenty of memory allows you to stream music, run various apps, and keep multiple browser tabs open in the background without experiencing lag. The fast storage allows the laptop to boot up in seconds, games load quickly, and opening heavy applications comes without issue. The cooling system does a solid job of keeping temperatures under control without getting excessively noisy during heavy use. The dual air intake from both above and below the keyboard makes a noticeable difference in pulling air through the system. Lastly, it comes fully equipped with a complete selection of standard ports so you can easily plug in all your accessories without needing any dongles. As with most gaming laptops, you will want to keep the charger handy for extended gaming sessions, but it holds up well for standard desktop work on battery. Overall, this laptop again checks all the boxes for a modern 16 inch laptop. It boots up quickly, handles current games with ease, and serves as a perfect everyday workstation for streaming, browsing, and productivity. For that reason I would highly recommend it.

The Acer Nitro offers its latest line and features for getting your foot in to the latest tech all without financially ruining yourself. And while it does have the latest series as far as graphics cards go, the real question really becomes "is this the best bang for my buck?" So if your looking at this unit that probably means your looking for your next on the go gaming rig. Wasting no time lets just jump right in to how it performs. With a dedicated SSD of 512GB this means that yes download speeds are still pretty quick as long as you have a solid internet connection. The new BlackFlag Resync downloaded in about 10 minutes over home wifi. Initial gameplay loading from one zone to the next was quick and done almost within seconds. This was actually quite impressive given the meager 2.5ghz of cpu speed. Speaking of which that lead me to another worry i had, which was frame rates for AAA gaming. Bench testing it against Assassin Creed Black Flag average frame rates came back at 50 FPS with ultra settings. Actually game play frames averaged more around 60 fps. Gameplay was smooth with minimal screen tear and transitions from scene to scene was fluid with no lag or voice drop outs. The colors are good put not great, the blacks seemed bland and the whites seemed to washout the back drops. Your not going to get 4k gaming out of this unit so don't expect it. Where this unit suffered in my opinion at least, was with its temps. Cyberpunk caused temps to reach 80°C easily and hovered around 90°C on the GPU side. Heat mitigation needs some more work and you will feel it if you try to play on your lap. I highly recommend buying an alternative cooling pad to help mitigate high temps. The bottom line is this, higher end gpu's in the 50 series line up are gonna mean your gong to need to drop between 2k - 3k but the 5050 gpu performs impressively well. I mean you can literally play on ultra settings and not suffer in the form of severe lag. The CPU does cause a little bit of bottle necking but its not enough for most people to even pickup on. If you wanna play more demanding games and don't want to go bankrupt in the process, then the acer is definitely the way to go.

I love the Nitro series of laptops. Sleek is an understatement for this laptop. It's pretty thin, lightweight and nice to look at. I like the color and the feel of the laptop itself. The RGB keyboard is very cool. It gets pretty bright, brighter than other laptops I have owned. All the buttons feel good and press easily. My hands rest comfortably when using it. The mouse pad works as it should. I use a gaming mouse so I don't really need to use it. There are plenty of inputs for my mouse, portable SSD and game controller. Everything works well with this laptop and connects immediately. Installing and loading anything is very quick. Installs that took a while on my old laptop, install very quickly on this one. Gaming is pretty great on it. I play lots of different games and they all perform flawlessly. The graphics card on this thing is beastly. I didn't think it would perform as well as it does cause it's a 5050 but it performs better than the 5060, in my opinion. Cyberpunk looks incredible on it. The screen is so detailed and the frame rate is top notch. I was quite surprised to see it rarely gets hot when playing demanding games. That's rare for a laptop. Acer has created another great laptop for their Nitro series.

Gaming laptops fit a unique niche of users. Everyday users wont get much use from a true gaming device. However, if you are a gamer and looking for a solid unit, this is a good one to look at. First, design. The design is pretty standard for a gaming laptop. They do run larger due to cooling needs. This one is no exception but is definitely portable. The laptop does run hot under load but there is not much speed loss or issues what that (unless you like to hold it on your lap). There are a good number of ports on the unit and you should be able to attach most anything you need. It does have a standard USB port. The reason I gave it four stars instead of 5 is for the trackpad. It seems flimsy and doesn’t respond the best but I’m still getting used to it so that may change. For performance, the Intel Core 7 240H is a capable gaming processor. It has 10 cores and 16 threads (6 performance and 4 efficiency). I was able to benchmark it at 23856 for multithread and 3589 for single thread. My unit came with 16GB of DDR 5 memory and it’s a huge plus that you can upgrade the RAM (2 slots) and or add another SSD. For graphics, the GeForce RTX 5050 is what this comes with and it is very good indeed. I was able to play games such as Flight Simulator 2024 at high detail. I also played Doom Eternal at full 1080p resolution and it looked great. Overall this is a solid gaming laptop.

I think I can start my review on this notebook by stating that this is a mid-tier, budget friendly (especially when it goes on sale at BestBuy) gaming notebook. If we look at its specifications (Acer Nitro V with 16" WUXGA 165Hz Gaming Laptop, packed with Intel Core 7 240H and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050, RAM: 16GB Memory and 512GB of SSD Storage in Obsidian Black color) you get the bare bones, well spec'ed notebook that will not disappoint you as a gamer and if you would like to use it for your every day tasks or work. Let's talk build quality and its aesthetics. I think it’s sturdy enough for a gaming laptop but not rigid like metal builds. The weight (4.63 pounds) and thickness (less than an inch) are well proportioned and it is quite comfortable to keep it on your lap for some time if you wish. I think Acer chose the materials for cost efficiency, not for premium aesthetics, however the keyboard is amazing and feels great in fast paced gaming. I really like the backlit feature with RGB customization, the keys are very responsive. Its 16" IPS display supports 165Hz refresh rate and thanks to the Geforce RTX 5050 dedicated GPU you get nice details and clarity, it is also bright enough in scenes needing those vibrant colors and contrast. My experience playing titles like Marvel Vs Capcom, Madden 2025, and Immortals of Aveum was defined by exceptionally fast loading times and seamless, stutter-free gameplay. The galore of available ports is also a huge plus, you get pretty much the latest variants and specs of USB, HDMI (supports 48Gbps) however you get WiFi 6 instead of 7. To bump up your overall experience, I would highly recommend to upgrade your RAM to 32GB and your storage to at least 1TB down the road, as you will find that your fast storage will fill up quickly. It is a well designed and well built notebook in my opinion, perfect for someone who enjoys gaming and good performance, it "punches" above its price, especially in battery life, cooling stability and high‑refresh gaming.

I have my share of gaming laptops because I like the extra power of the normal daily use laptop. This laptop struck my eye when it came up and for 85% of what I use it for it is an awesome machine. First, the normal boot up, signing in, updates and all that took about 15 or so minutes. But, in the end, everything from my previous laptop was here, minus the passwords. I like this keyboard and screen so much more than my previous daily use Dell. The keyboard is already sticking on that one. I really like having a number pad to the left and the ability to control the RGB lighting rocks. Performance, this thing holds its own on most games, etc, but its numbers suggest it is in the middle to upper middle rankings but I did not experience any issues. My two disappointments are the OLD, and I stress OLD, wifi card on this. Really ACER, a wifi AX card on a gaming machine. That is my first upgrade. No camera on the screen is the second grip as I have really enjoyed unlocking my computers with my face. However, the PIN request has been ok. I am enjoying this laptop and will continue to do so even if I have to upgrade the wifi card.
