Acer has been making pretty decent "budget" gaming laptops for awhile now, and the new Acer Nitro V seems like it could continue to be a solid option for people looking to game on the cheap. Alex is here to see if Acer's cuts make this a no-brainer purchase or a headscratcher.

The fact they played a bell sound when it hit Bell

I recently got the Acer Nitro 16, which is this laptop, but better in every single way. Significantly better display at 1920x1200 165hz 99.8% SRGB Coverage if memory serves, better build, better keyboard, 90wh battery, waaaay better speakers, better camera and mic, Ryzen 7 7840HS, RTX 4060, still the same cringe stickers. So satisifed with it, fantastic laptop for the price

Im pointing this out as I own this laptop that the speakers are very good, the problem is out of the box the dtsx ultra makes the audio preset to shooter config. The speaker are actually very loud and above average for the price that it was launched at atleast in my country. The LOQ is almost the same price here for the 3050 6gb and except for the MUX switch and better display, nitro is more of a value for money lap here. But got to say the LOQ is a very fine laptop.

I gotta say, the amount of great old days I'm having since Alex started hosting videos really skyrocketed

This is a really, REALLY good value if you use it as a low-end desktop replacement and use it with an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. It's similar to what I used to do. It's passable for occasional travel use, and has a good enough price-to-performance ratio WHEN ON SALE that it's a pretty good "beginner" laptop for someone who maybe doesn't really care about things like keyboard flex or bad speakers - and maybe they keep it plugged into a pair of speakers as well.

I'm a fan of the Acer Nitro series. They have quietly been the low key best cheapie gaming laptops since about 2016 or so. Best bang for the buck at their price point especially if you go for a well equipped slightly older or refurbished model. Some corners are cut like not having a very rigid body and not the best viewing angles on the screen but overall they are one of the best deals in gaming not just gaming laptops.

I bought an Acer Nitro 5 back in 2019--8th gen Intel, 1050 Ti, 8G RAM, 256GB SSD. First ever computer that was mine, beforehand I was using a 6 (8?) year old AIO PC that was dying. Got me started in my computer hobby.

I do like the fact that the laptop does have a numpad, i cant live without one. But i think that the absence of a numpad LED to indicate if its on or not should be a more talked about feature. laptops still have it but its only in very specific ones that are either really expensive and impractical. Or really cheap ones that dont have the performance needed

6:25 that "trick" right there was great to show why not to get a device with a low color range display if you don't really have to / if you can afford anything better, so thanks a lot

I think The LOQ from Lenovo is a better option for the overall improvement of the Performance. like having a mux switch and advanced Optimus, and for the budget option we can get the 3050 6gb vram variant for a lot cheaper if you don't want to game intensely. more solid build quality the keyboard is better and not so gaming looks. personally i have the intel 3050 variant and its always running quiet when i code or browsing with 20 chrome tabs open and while gaming the laptop is not getting really high temps and hover between 70-80 ish while running AAA games.

I remember when my sister and I went to Best Buy to get work laptops and were looking for something in the $450 range and we saw Nitro 5's for about $600 with dedicated graphics cards and we decided to just do that and it was fantastic. Nitro 5's were and still are excellent intro level budget friendly PC gaming.

This space is very competitive, bought an omen 16 4050, 13420, 16 gb variant for 750 on sale(hp equivalent to the lenovo) and it's great. Only gripe is the single ssd slot, and 512 storage. But for 750$ its been a steller travel computer, when im not gonna cart around my pc.

I recently purchased a nitro5 with a 3070ti and the amd 6800H currently waiting for it to be delivered paid about 1100usd after tax can't wait to absolutely send it with my sim. It is the replacement for my broken g15 advantage that died after the mobo got damaged

Speaking on the LOQ discount at the end. I just picked up the higher spec version at $999 a couple weeks back. Same i7 CPU as that nitro has but has the RTX4060 instead. Its also got a way more accurate screen and a much more solid keyboard (as to be expected from lenovo/IBM).
Would recommend for anyone looking for a decent laptop to blow a grand on.

That's what I did with my Lenovo loq last year I got the 8 GB one with a 13th Gen I5 a 1tb SSD and a 3060 and got a 32 gig ram kit at a later date all in all I spent 800 bucks total on it and couldn't be happier with the product

i got one last year on sale at best buy for $500, (2022 model, N22C2) and honestly i love it, the only thing i would change is put the usb ports on the left so they arent in the way of the mouse. But as a regular consumer, just a great laptop, and easy to take apart, all the screws on the bottom are the same size, the two m.2 slots are easy to get to, so is the ram and the battery, and it just performs great even if the fans are a bit loud sometimes (edit after watching video) wow the insides look a lot different, the keyboard on the 2022 isnt very squishy at all especially at normal typing pressure, for audio the 2022 to me sounds just fine, better than the hp, toshiba and asus laptops ive had in the past, i think youd like the layout of the 2022 one a lot more, and for $500 for a slightly older one with an i5 and a 3050, you cant really beat that imo

My Nitro 5 2023 (yes the number not V. Not sure if thats a different model) has a 4050, now with 32gb ram, a 2 tb ssd and a 1 tb ssd. Core i5-12500h. Looks nothing like this inside and runs alot quieter while in default mode. On performance its loud, but it doesnt improve much so never use it.
Works great for the Sony games i play on it. I also play it on my 65" tv. Usually 2k. Im happy with it for now.

I own a 2019 Nitro, the 60 hz display one with a 1650. It's a great machine for the price I paid new (500$ CAD), the downsides are the bezels, quite big (got used to it), the weight, the battery and the screen which has burn in problems.
Even after Acer supposedly replaced my screen, this problem came back and I now have to deal with it since it's outside my warranty window. Also, the back cover had the plastic break off due to the heat. It's toasty, don't put it on your lap.
I wish that the back cover has been upgraded to something a bit more durable, even more so around the Ethernet Jack and the back screw holes.
The power brick is chonky as hell, it's painful to carry in a backpack with the laptop, so beware, considering it didn't change. My next purchase will definitely be something lighter with a discrete GPU, considering I need it for work.
The battery is horrendous down the line though. You have to be plugged in 80% of the time, it even drains quite fast while turned off.

To anyone from LMG - that trick, where the editor changed the saturation to show the effectively poor color space (6:28), was a neat way of visualizing a statistic that is often hard to wrap your head around real-world impact. Sure, it's not a lab-quality demo, but "your colors might look like this" computes a lot better in my head than "it has x% of color space coverage". Please do more of that. Little touches like that make the videos so much better.
