Acer Aspire V15 Nitro BE VN7-592G-79DV Notebook Review

For the original German review, see here.
After testing the ULV model of the Aspire V15 Nitro (VN7-572G) in 2015, we now look at the VN7-592G with considerably higher-performance hardware. On the outside, both laptops resemble each other. The differences are mostly discovered inside. Our current review sample carries a quad-core processor from the Skylake generation and a GeForce GTX 960M graphics card. Models like Dell Inspiron 15 7559, Asus ZenBook Pro UX501VW-DS71T and MSI GE62 are rivals of the Aspire. However, all laptops in our Top 10 chart of mobile gaming notebooks can generally be seen as competition.
Since the VN-572G and VN7-592G are very similar in build, we will not go into details about casing, connectivity, input devices and speakers unless there are differences. Corresponding information can be found in the review of the Aspire VN7-572G.

Connectivity
We find differences in the connectivity of the VN7-572G and VN7-592G. While the VN7-572G is equipped with an optical drive, the VN7-592G does not have such a drive. The VN7-572G features a USB Type-C port in the USB 3.1 standard. However, it is not a USB 3.1 port, but a conventional 3.0 port that only uses another connector format. The USB Type-C port in the VN7-592G is a Thunderbolt 3 port that provides USB 3.1 functionality among other things.
Display
The Aspire is equipped with a 15.6-inch screen that has a native resolution of 3840x2160 pixels. Both brightness (291 cd/m²) and contrast (1377:1) are appealing. The panel displays PWN flickering in brightness levels of 10% and lower at a frequency of 1000 Hz. However, even sensitive users should not have problems with this due to the high frequency.

The display backlight flickers at 1000 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 10 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 1000 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8627 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. |
The screen's color reproduction is already pleasing in state of delivery. The panel only just misses the target range (DeltaE less than 3) with a DeltaE 2000 deviation of 3.47. The grayscale levels are very balanced. The screen does not exhibit a bluish tint. A sticker on the laptop's casing promises 100% AdobeRGB color space coverage. We cannot confirm this; the coverage rate is 83%. However, the panel can display the sRGB color space to 100%.

Performance
Acer offers slim, 15.6-inch laptops within the Aspire VN7-592G lineup. The devices render all up-to-date games smoothly. Our review sample currently represents the most expensive member of the lineup at a price of almost 1900 Euros (~$2146). Other configurations are available. Prices start at 950 Euros (~$1073).
Processor
While the VN7-572G models of the Aspire are equipped with ULV processors, the VN7-592G versions have standard mobile processors. A Core i7-6700HQ (Skylake) quad-core processor is inside our review sample. The TDP of 45 watts is considerably higher than that of ULV CPUs (15 watts). The Core i7 clocks at a base speed of 2.6 GHz, which can be boosted up to 3.1 GHz (four cores), 3.3 GHz (two cores) and 3.5 GHz (one core) via Turbo. Turbo is utilized in both AC and battery mode.
A clear winner cannot be ascertained when comparing the scores of the Skylake processor with those of its Broadwell predecessor (Core i7-5700HQ). The 6700HQ processor has a slight edge in single thread applications. The improved Skylake architecture becomes obvious here. Both CPUs have a maximum speed of 3.5 GHz. The 5700HQ CPU has the lead in Multithread applications because it clocks at higher Turbo speeds.

System Performance
A high-performance processor and fast SSD result in a fast-running system. The PCMark benchmarks scores are very good. A look at our comparison chart shows that comparably equipped laptops score considerably better than the Aspire in PCMark 8 Home partial benchmark. This is due to the screen's higher resolution. The Aspire delivers scores on par with its opponents when the resolution is reduced. However, the Aspire cannot distance itself very clearly from its ULV sister model. This again proves that high-performance hardware does not really provide advantages in routine use. The stronger quad-core processor can begin to display its advantages in applications that are optimized for utilizing multiple CPU cores. The Aspire's system performance cannot be improved. Acer has already maxed out on everything.

Gaming Performance
The Aspire is one of the slim, mobile gaming laptops. Therefore, it is not surprising that the laptop renders all up-to-date games smoothly. It is even possible to select the Full HD resolution and high quality settings. The resolution and quality level has to be reduced in some games, such as "Rise of the Tomb Raider" or "Assassin's Creed Syndicate". The screen's native resolution (3840x2160 pixels) can only be rarely used. Only games with moderate hardware requirement should allow using the 4K resolution. Laptops with a GeForce GTX 970M or GTX 980M are needed for more gaming power. They do not cost more. GTX 970M laptops are available starting at 1300 Euros (~$1468) - considerably less than the price of the Aspire. The latter carries a high price due to its very good configuration.

Emissions
System Noise
The Aspire is relatively noiseless while idling. The fans are often inactive. The hard drive noise is heard when accessing the 2.5-inch drive. It is not surprising that the fans speed up considerably under load in view of the hardware configuration. We measured a noise level of 47.3 dB(A) in the stress test. An electronic sizzling noise was sometimes heard from inside the laptop. That was observed when larger data volumes were moved to the SSD.

Battery Runtime
Acer's laptop achieved a runtime of 3:38 hours in our everyday Wi-Fi test. This test simulates the load needed for opening websites. The "Balanced" profile is enabled, and the screen's brightness is dimmed to approximately 150 cd/m². The Aspire managed 3:51 hours in the video test. We test the video playback time in this test by looping the short movie "Big Buck Bunny" (H.264 encoding, 1920x1080 pixels). The wireless modules are disabled, and the screen's brightness is set to approximately 150 cd/m².
We record a clear increase in battery life in the Aspire compared with the 4K model of the Aspire VN7-591G. The rates climb by almost an hour in the everyday Wi-Fi and video tests. The maximum runtime is twice as high. The battery's capacity of 52 Wh has not changed compared with the one in the VN7-591G.

Verdict
Acer's compact gaming laptop has a strong processor that looks impressive in all common application scenarios. The graphics card renders all up-to-date games smoothly. The fast SSD ensures a fast-running system. A 1 TB, 2.5-inch hard drive is also on board should the SSD's storage capacity get tight. The casing has to be opened for replacing the drives. The good keyboard that is also suitable for prolific writers should not be forgotten.
The matte 4K IPS panel pleases with stable viewing angles, high contrast and decent brightness. It is questionable whether a 4K model is really needed. Firstly, occasional scaling problems still exist in Windows and secondly, the screen's native resolution can rarely be used in a game. A much stronger graphics card would be necessary for this.
The new 15.6-inch model of the Aspire V15 Nitro is also a successful compromise of compactness, mobility, ergonomics and gaming performance.
The review sample provided to us represents the very well-configured premium model of the lineup. Accordingly, it carries an exuberant price of 1900 Euros (~$2146). Buyers not willing to invest this amount of money will find cheaper configurations. Their prices start at approximately 950 Euros (~$1073).
