The Acer Nitro 5 AN515-46 we tested again confirms this reputation, presenting a reliable and efficient gaming platform with a 144 Hz screen, a powerful cooling system, a comfortable keyboard and decent hardware by the standards of its price segment of about $ 1,000.

Modern RAM 16 GB DDR5

The model is equipped with a 12-thread Ryzen 5 6600H processor, a GeForce RTX 3050 video card and 16 GB of DDR5 RAM with a frequency of 4800 MHz. The design of the Acer laptop retains the signature features of the Nitro series: beveled display corners, massive frames, aggressive air intakes, monotonous red keyboard backlighting and dedicated WASD keys. The case, made of high-quality plastic, is durable and reliable. Despite its dimensions (2.5 kg of weight and 27 cm of thickness), this solution made it possible to maintain an effective cooling system without losing performance for the sake of size reduction.

Additionally, the laptop has all the characteristics expected from a budget gaming model of 2023 - 2024: a specialized Killer E2600 LAN controller for optimized online gaming, an audio system with DTS X Ultra, modern connection ports and sufficient battery life of up to 6 hours in non-connected modes. with games. Users also appreciate the ability to easily upgrade RAM and install an additional SSD to expand storage. The webcam and touchpad may not be of impressive quality, but these shortcomings do not become critical to the overall gaming experience. As a result, the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-46 is a good choice for gamers who prefer 1080p gaming with medium graphics settings.
