When we noticed this Acer RTX 4070 gaming laptop computer deal, all of us thought that there have to be one thing fallacious with it for it to be this low cost. But no—it is the actual deal. It’s offered and shipped by Newegg, and it is model new, so none of this refurbished malarky. This is one factor that is amiss however it should not cease you from snapping it up at $1,100.
Acer’s Nitro collection of gaming laptops are nice little machines and this specific mannequin is particularly good. That’s since you’re getting a quick Ryzen 7 7735HS central processor paired with a GeForce RTX 4070 laptop computer GPU. The former has eight cores, 16 threads, a lift clock of 4.75 GHz, and a most energy consumption of simply 54 W.
The RTX 4070 laptop computer GPU is nice for 1080p gaming and relying on what you are taking part in or what settings you are utilizing, it will actually deal with 1440p gaming too. For the Nitro 16 AMD collection, Acer usually makes use of as much as a 140 W energy restrict for the GPU however I can not inform precisely what restrict this mannequin has. But even when it is solely 105 W, for instance, it will nonetheless run the newest video games effectively sufficient, particularly when you allow DLSS upscaling or body era.
For me, although, the star of the present is that large 16-inch 2560 x 1600 IPS display screen. With a refresh fee of 144 Hz and a 16:10 side ratio, it is excellent for gaming, media consumption, schoolwork, and content material creation. Where 15-inch laptops are a little bit too small for my tastes (and 17 inches is extra of a desktop substitute), laptops this dimension are the actual candy spot.
The quantity of RAM you are getting is completely acceptable, too. Sure, 32 GB could be very nice to have however we’re nonetheless approach off the purpose the place each new large recreation requires that a lot reminiscence. It’s not clear as to what the RAM’s velocity and channel configuration are, however Acer tends to make use of moderately quick dual-channel reminiscence.
Getting all of this for only a cent underneath $1,100 is a implausible deal however when you’re questioning what the actual problem is with this laptop computer, then don’t fret—it is simply the SSD. With a capability of 512 GB, it will solely take a few large video games earlier than it is full and there is nothing extra annoying than having to always uninstall and obtain video games.
Fortunately, there are two simple options: (1) change the default drive with a pleasant large quick gaming SSD or (2) stick all of your video games on a quick exterior SSD. The Acer Nitro 16 comes with two USB USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C ports that supply as much as 10 Gb/s when transferring knowledge, so when you’re going for choice 2, ensure the exterior drive can also be USB 3.2 Gen 2.
All laptop computer producers mass-produce quite a lot of specs and Acer clearly felt that some people could be completely happy to purchase a Nitro 16 with an important CPU and GPU however a extremely small SSD. That particular mixture most likely hasn’t offered all that effectively, which is why the value is so good.
But that is it, that is the one factor that is amiss with this deal and it is truthfully advantageous to stay your Steam library on an exterior SSD and recreation with it. All of the opposite elements are top-notch and at this value, you are getting one heck of a gaming laptop computer.
