The Acer Nitro V is easily one of the most affordable gaming laptops you can get these days. Amazon has it down to $625 right now, which is a solid discount on its $849 MSRP.
The Nitro V’s highlight is the GeForce RTX 4050 graphics card, which is a phenomenal get for the price. It’s admittedly an entry-level RTX option in today’s gaming landscape and you won’t be able to crank your settings to the max, but you should be able to play modern 3D titles on medium (or better with games that support DLSS 3). Frankly, if you can do without cutting-edge visuals, then you’re good to go here.
Equipped with a 13th-gen Intel Core i5-13420H processor and 8GB of DDR5 RAM, this laptop is decent enough to handle your daily workload, but you will notice it struggle at times. If you want a slightly more powerful combo—we recommend at least 16GB of RAM when dealing with Windows 11—then you should consider paying a few bucks more for the Nitro V with Core i7 and 16GB RAM that’s on sale for $700.
The 15.6-inch IPS display is color accurate and gaming-ready with its 144Hz refresh rate and 1920×1080 resolution. You can hook up to two monitors to this laptop as it features HDMI 2.1 and Thunderbolt 4 USB-C port with 65 watts of power delivery. (The laptop itself is charged via barrel port so the TB4 port can be used for other stuff.) You also get three USB-A 3.2 ports, a LAN port, and a 3.5mm headset jack.
This is a great deal that you’ll want to pounce on before tariffs kick prices way up in the coming months. Get yourself the Acer Nitro V for $625 (or the upgraded config for $700) before this discount expires!
