Priced at €899, the 2024 Aspire 16 A16-51GM-77G2 pairs the low-power, current-gen Core 7 150U with the ageing RTX 2050. The laptop is meant to be a budget all-round multimedia laptop. In this review, we’ll discuss whether Acer manages to accomplish this goal.

The Acer Aspire 16 (A16-51GM) is a good budget offer. The device feels responsive for everyday tasks or officer usage thanks to the capable two-fan cooling that allows the CPU to boost to around 4.00 GHz for the P cores and 3.00 GHz for the E cores in short stress. The frequencies remain adequate even in medium and long loads. The RTX 2050 can sustain 40W in “Performance” mode and 39W in “Silent” mode. Not bad Acer, not bad! The noise during heave stress is moderate and the keyboard doesn’t feel scorching hot to the touch. Still, the back exhausts blow hot air directly at the bottom bezels of the screen that reach 55°C.The 1200p IPS display (LP160WU3-SPD2 (LGD079B) is good for the price class. That’s possible thanks to the 16:10 aspect ratio, the 335 nit max brightness, and the lack of PWM usage.

Comment
Acer: In 1976, the company was founded in Taiwan under the name Multitech and was renamed Acer or Acer Group in 1987. The product range includes, for example, laptops, tablets, smartphones, desktops, monitors, TVs and computer peripherals. Since 2007, the group has merged with Gateway Inc. and Packard Bell, which also market their own laptop product lines.
Acer computers are designed for a variety of purposes, including ultrabooks for mobile use, gaming laptops for gamers, affordable options for everyday tasks, and 2-in-1 convertible laptops for versatility. Acer's product portfolio also includes tablets that offer portable computing and multimedia capabilities.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 Mobile: Mid range laptop graphics card based on the Turing architecture with raytracing features and 2,048 shaders (more than a RTX 2060) but only a small 64 Bit memory bus.
Intel Arc 7-Core: Integrated graphics adapter based on the Xe LPG architecture (similar to the dedicated Arc GPUs, but with a focus on efficiency). Provides 7 of the 8 Xe cores (112 Xe Vector Engines) and 7 ray tracing units.

Intel Raptor Lake-U:
Core 7 150U: High-end mobile processor based on the Alder Lake architecture. Offers 2 performance cores and 8 efficiency cores and can process 12 threads simultaneously. The maximum turbo clock of the P cores is 5.4 GHz. The i5-1365U also supports vPro Essentials management features.
Intel Meteor Lake-H:
Ultra 5 125H: A mid-range Meteor Lake family chip that debuted in December 2023. This 1st Gen Core Ultra laptop processor has come to replace 13th generation Core chips; it has 14 cores (4 + 8 + 2) and 18 threads at its disposal. Its Performance cores, of which there are 4, run at up to 4.5 GHz while its Efficient cores, of which there are 10 (8 main cores plus 2 extra ones found in the Low Power Island) run at up to 3.6 GHz. The 7-core Arc GPU, just out of the oven, serves as the integrated graphics adapter (this runs at up to 2.20 GHz) and there is a bevy of other brand-new technologies on offer as well such as the integrated AI Boost NPU with two Gen 3 engines for hardware AI workload acceleration. The chip's Intel-recommended Base power consumption is 28 W while its maximum Turbo power consumption is supposed to be within 115 W.

16.00:
This range for display formats was and is a rarity. It is larger than the general standard of 15 inches, but not yet in the range of large workstations. One usually has higher screen resolutions available, but portability suffers from that.

No weight comment found (one expected)!
79.1%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
