Acer Nitro 5 (V) is a Budget Gaming Laptop Starting at $800

This article is over 7 years old and may contain outdated information

Gaming laptops are known for being nice, but also quite pricey. Acer got that memo and has decided to outfit the base model of its new Nitro V gaming laptop with the right specs to keep the price down but the power up. At its cheapest, the Nitro V is only $800.

You have the option for going with either a Radeon RX550 GPU and a choice of either an AMD A10, A12 or FX CPU for the baseline, or you can throw the extra cash down for a massive GTX 1050 Ti GPU along with a current-generation (Kaby Lake) Intel Core i5 or i7 processor. RAM can be maxed out to a whopping 32GB DDR4 variant. Specific models of the Nitro V will feature SSDs with capacities as high as 512GB, along with an additional HDD for massive storage.

Beyond that, here’s where the features become standard:

  • HDMI 2.0 up to 90Hz
  • 15.6′ 1080p IPS Display
  • Dolby Audio Premium
  • Acer TrueHarmony
  • Acer Coolboost Technology
  • USB 3.1 Type-C (1 port)
  • USB 3.0 (1 port)
  • USB 2.0 (2 ports)

The Acer Nitro V 2017 family will hit shelves in July in North America and China, once again starting at the price of $800.
