Reviews for the Acer Aspire V Nitro 7-791G-70TW
Not much more powerful. On paper, the powerful hardware upgrade of Acer's Nitro series seems appealing. Although, the performance has not improved in the synthetic benchmarks, gamers might appreciate more fps and a higher display contrast.

The V17 is decent overall, and the size and modest performance allows it to run without making a lot of noise. The price is attractive, especially now you can find it for $200 under the MSRP, but there are many competitors with higher-quality materials that simply look better, and they don’t fail the touchpad test.

Model: The Acer Aspire V Nitro 7-791G-70TW is a high performance laptop, which has been slightly upgraded over its predecessor. Design is kept similar with an all-black chassis with a silver hinge highlight that accents the look well. The lid is simple, which seems to be the current trend of most laptops. There is a chiclet-style keyboard with red LED backlight and the overall weight of the device is around 2.9 kg. The 17.3 inch IPS panel delivers good clarity, colors and even a slight contrast boost compared to the predecessor.

The Acer Aspire V Nitro 7-791G-70TW can certainly satisfy the moderate gamer looking to kill some time in addition to being productive on the laptop. Other features include Bluetooth 4.0, two USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.0 ports, a card reader and an optical drive.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
4720HQ: Haswell-based quad-core processor clocked at 2.6 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 3.6 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4600 GPU and a dual channel DDR3 memory controller.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

DTR are mainly intended for stationary desk use, where weight and energy hunger don't matter. In return, you enjoy the advantages of high resolutions (more details, better legibility).» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
