Acer Aspire V 15 Nitro VN7-591G-77A9

The Acer Aspire V 15 Nitro might look like any other inconspicuous laptop out there with its blend design and black color scheme, but looks might not tell the entire story. The front cover has the Acer logo and the textured lid is held by a metallic hinge layout. Inside is a full sized keyboard with number pad and the Acer Aspire V 15 Nitro comes with a multi-touch touchpad. The laptop shines in the specifications department as it is actually an entry-level gaming setup. The Windows 8.1 laptop comes with an Intel Core i7-4710HQ quad-core processor clocked at 2.5 GHz, 8 GB DDR3 dual-channel RAM and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M GPU with 2 GB GDDR5 RAM. There is no doubt the hardware can perform, especially with a Kingston 128 GB SSD and 1 TB HDD combo. The 15.6 inch 16:9 LG Philips panel with IPS technology produces vivid colors and good contrast. Audio quality is also good with a Realtek ALC283 high definition audio controller. All interfaces are at the side of the device and consists of three USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI out and a card reader. The 2.2 kg device is perfect for someone who is looking for a gaming PC with good battery life but without all the sparkle.

Black Nitro. Acer does not make any compromises in the configuration of its Aspire V15 Nitro. Buyers get a slim computer with very powerful hardware, an SSD, and IPS screen. The laptop is primarily aimed at gamers. However, the odd non-gamer might also take a liking to the computer.

It is 38.5x26x2 and weights 2.2kilos. Most of the connections are on the right side so if you wanted this could be close to a wall or partition on your left if you wanted. This nice looking notebook is also powerful and has an Full HD 1080P screen although it is only 15.6inches. The surprising thing is that it looks the right size even though the majority of 15.6inch offering give a much lower resolution.

100% Acer Aspire V15 Nitro (VN7-591G) review
Source: Expert Reviews English Archive.org version
We're really impressed with Acer's first proper foray into the gaming laptop market. The Aspire V15 Nitro is handsome, well built and is a competent performer in every task you're likely to throw at it. Not only that, it's also £50 cheaper than comparable efforts from Chillblast and Scan, although both the Chillblast Defiant 2 Mini and the Scan 3XS Graphite LG156 have much better collect and return warranties versus Acer's paltry one-year return to base cover. Nonetheless, for mid-range gaming performance, there isn't much that can beat the V15 Nitro and it wins our Best Buy award.

A thin, black blade of high-performance goodness
Source: Techradar English Archive.org version
At first glance, the Aspire V Nitro design is on-point and understated, much unlike the lot of loud and boisterous gaming laptops. Better yet – despite a few hiccups – the rig seems to performs admirably for a machine starting at $1,099. While Acer doesn’t have a rich history in the gaming world, don’t count the company out yet before its (hopeful) triumphant return. I left the Nitro with just a small taste of its style and power. Now I, to keep the metaphor going, look forward to really biting into this mobile PC gaming machine to see what it’s capable of when it launches later this year.

Well, the new Acer V15 Nitro / VN7-591G gaming laptop deliver quite a blow. For around $1000, the V15 I7 version [probably] comes with an I7-4710HQ, GTX 860M GPU, 8GB RAM, 1TB SSHD and an 1080p IPS. This price is a projection of Czech prices, but I think it’s a reasonable speculation. So, for this price you get the same performance as other 15.6″ gaming laptops, but also an IPS display.

60% Acer Aspire VN7-591G review: entertainment-focused Aspire V 15 Nitro Black Edition laptop dazzles with Ultra-HD display, but ultimately disappoints
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
Design and build quality are in line with expectations for a midrange laptop, while Intel and nVidia processors are also from the higher end of modern midrange laptops. At only around three hours, battery life was poor, suggesting this model will be mostly tethered to the mains. The display is the standout feature with great image quality, even if it doesn't lend itself to gaming at its 4K native resolution. Nor indeed would this laptop play our 4K sample video files properly, which makes it hard to recommend this 4K laptop for watching UHD 4K video or playing games at 4K resolution.

Acer Aspire V15 VN7-591G-74SK

Acer's latest attempt to woo the gaming community comes in the form of the brand new Acer Aspire V15 Nitro Black Edition VN7-591G-74SK gaming laptop. The exterior has a black matte finish, hence the "black edition" in its name. Like many other new laptops, a DVD optical drive is excluded to make the laptop lighter and thinner. The design is surprisingly slim for a gaming laptop at just under 2.54 cm thick, which looks unreal from the side. It is light and portable, weighing in at only 2.2 kg.

The Acer Aspire V15 also comes with a 15.6 inch IPS screen with 1920x1080 pixels, just the right amount to look great without straining its hardware. The hardware is of course top of the line: a powerful Intel Core i7 quad core processor, 8 GB RAM and an 860M Nvidia graphics card.

The Acer can run even the most demanding video games in the market smoothly. The battery life lasts anywhere between 2 to 4 hours depending on usage, which is pretty respectable for a gaming laptop with this hardware, though there is still room for improvement.

Acer’s Aspire V15 Nitro Black Edition delivers on the promise of 4K in a laptop. While it’s arguable the resolution isn’t needed on a 15.6-inch display (Apple’s Retina resolution of 2,880×1,800 already obscures pixels nicely) that dispute can be left for another day. The V15’s display is close to perfection. I fell in love with it.

So, here we are again at the end of a review. I'm pretty sure you all know what's about to happen, so take a read or skip to the bottom to see the bottom line ranking. Let's talk performance. The V Nitro first and foremost is a gaming system. It's being marketed as such, so it better perform as such. And indeed it does. We see decent gaming performance, though it could always be improved by including a faster GPU. However, with the GPU used, gaming performance is plenty for a system that is made to go on the road easily.

Acer Aspire V Nitro Black Edition VN7-591G-72C4

The Nitro Black is a sleek, sophisticated and elegant black gaming notebook. It weighs 2.4 kg and is 1 inch (2.54 cm) thick and delivers powerful graphics and processing performance. Instead of being loud and flashy in terms of design, the Nitro Black appears more subtle and simple. The keyboard is brilliantly lit up in orange-red, making the gadget look fiercely powerful when fully turned on. The 15.6" screen comes in a 16:9 ratio and more importantly has an option for a 4K IPS display. It is extremely bright with wide viewing angles, making it easy for viewing by large crowds. The Nitro Black comes equipped with powerful a Intel Core i7 quad core processor for laptops, which are designed based on the models created for desktops. Thanks to the Turbo Boost technology, the processor's clock rate can increase to up to 3.2 GHz from its base clock of 2.5 GHz. This hardware  is combined with a GeForce GTX 860M graphics card and dual channel DDR3 memory. The inbuilt stereo speakers are impressively outfitted with excellent audio quality and volume. To deal with the heat built up, the Nitro Black is outfitted with Acer's own CoolBoost fans. The combinations of all these features makes the Nitro Black the ultimate gaming laptop due to its smooth performance, lack of major faults and affordability.

The Acer’s good specification means it’s got enough power for gaming and demanding work, and it’s backed up by reasonable ergonomics and a good screen quality. Its thermal performance and battery life let it down, though, and hardcore users won’t be sated by its keyboard or trackpad. It’s a decent general-purpose notebook, but gaming laptops, hybrids and Ultrabooks are better options if you’ve got particular tasks in mind.

No, bloatware isn’t the end of the world. You can spend an hour uninstalling all of the bloatware that comes preinstalled on the Aspire V 15 Nitro. You could also start over with a clean install of Windows 8 if you have a installation disk at home. We simply have trouble reconciling that Acer built this laptop specifically for gamers and several of these applications interfere with gameplay. In short, there is no excuse for having this much junk preinstalled from the factory on a laptop designed for gamers and priced at more than $1,000.

The 15.6-inch non-touchscreen display running at 1920 x 1080 did a solid job of displaying high definition video although we expected better. At this size, we’d have though Acer would have delivered a higher resolution display at this price range. However, sound quality from the inbuilt speakers was excellent, making the Aspire V Nitro 15 great for watching movies and gaming.

With a solid component selection and feature list matched by excellent performance and decent battery life, the Aspire V 15 Nitro easily pushes past our previous entry-level Editors' Choice, the MSI GX70 3Be-007US, and even makes a good run at more expensive systems, like the MSI GS60 Ghost Pro 3K. With that sort of showing for such a reasonable price, the Acer Aspire V 15 Nitro (VN7-591G-75S2) easily earns our Editors' Choice entry-level gaming laptop.

Acer Aspire V15 Nitro (VN7) – gaming series by Acer, bursting with speed and elegance
Source: Laptop Media English Archive.org version
Although there are things that we would like to change like the problematic servicing and port location, Aspire V 15 Nitro has managed to become perhaps the most lucrative gaming notebook on the market. At the time of publication of the review, the position of VN7 in our ranking of most affordable gaming laptops is number four, with 2% behind Y50. Given the presence of an IPS screen, however, the battle becomes quite fierce. In front position is another Acer model in two modifications, which undoubtedly is great for its price, but its graphics performance is much lower.

The Acer Aspire V Nitro Black Edition is basically a desktop replacement squeezed into the body of a stylish thin-and-light notebook. And a fairly powerful one at that. Though its mid-level Nvidia GeForce GTX 860M graphics will hold you back some and its battery life could be better, the Acer Aspire V Nitro Black Edition has a top-notch screen and a potent component combo for work and entertainment.

It's a capable machine, with a very good GPU and a speedy processor that work in tandem to display flashy 3D games with strong detail and fluid motion. Granted, it's not a top-tier device, and the performance in more recent games like Far Cry 4 shows how more demanding games are starting to push it to the limit with higher graphics settings.

Lenovo Y50 (GTX 960M) vs Acer Aspire V15 Nitro Black Edition (GTX 960M) in-depth comparison – two slim gaming powerhouses
Source: Laptop Media English Archive.org version
Both notebooks are very good, they have great screens, CPU and GPU performance. They both feature quality build and high specs, but have very different designs, both looking very good. With very similar specs the notebooks produced nearly identical results on our tests and benchmarks, even though Y50’s CPU has some throttling issues.

Acer Aspire V15 Nitro Black Edition (VN7-591G, GTX 960M) review – same body, more powerful internals
Source: Laptop Media English Archive.org version
The Acer Aspire V15 Nitro Black Edition remains one of the best choices for a budget gaming laptop on the market and with the refreshed series – this machine gets even better. The design is almost perfect, just the port placement could be better, but still features a high-quality build. The keyboard is also nearly perfect with the red LED backlight. They provide good tactile feedback and the keys are excellent not only for gaming, but even for typing. It’s a good thing that Acer kept the high-quality IPS panel, but this one differs from the original version from last year. Besides the good color accuracy, high contrast and high maximum brightness, this panel uses PWM (pulse-width modulation) across all brightness levels, thus making the user experience less desirable.

60% Acer Aspire V 15 Nitro (VN7-591G-70JY)
Source: PC Mag English Archive.org version
Often, upgrading a lower-tier product with premium components results in a better end product, but for the Acer Aspire V 15 Nitro (VN7-591G-70JY), that's not the case. The increased RAM and storage capacity is a small change, and most of the higher price is attributable to the new display. The 4K display looks great, but the fact that the gaming hardware can't take advantage of it makes it difficult to justify, and contributes the shorter battery life. If you really want the Acer Aspire V 15 Nitro design, do yourself a favor and stick to the less expensive Acer Aspire V 15 Nitro (VN7-591G-75S2), our Editors' Choice for entry-level gaming laptops, which offers better performance in gaming and longer battery life.

Refined model. Slim, sleek, powerful - With the Aspire V15 Nitro series, Acer has launched a well-made series of gaming notebooks. Acer has upgraded the series and replaced the GeForce GTX 860M graphics card with a GeForce GTX 960M GPU. As a result, the graphics performance has increased slightly.

70% Acer Aspire V 15 Nitro review: An all-rounder Windows 10 laptop for home use
Source: Tech2.in.com English Archive.org version
Acer Aspire V 15 Nitro is priced at Rs 1,10,000 and going by the prices charged by gaming laptops the pricing is at par, considering you are getting a 4K display. Most gaming monitors offer a full HD display. The Nitro offers a good display with excellent viewing angles. Of course, the gaming performance at 4K resolution with heavy games such as Metro: Last Light was not impressive at maxed out settings. You will need to keep settings low to get playable frame rates at 4K resolution. Games such as Bioshock Infinite are playable with settings maxed out at full HD resolutions.

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 GTX 860M: Upper mid-range graphics card from the GeForce GTX 800M series.

NVIDIA GeForce 840M:

Mid-range graphics card from the GeForce 800M series based on the Maxwell architecture.

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.  

4710HQ: Haswell-based quad-core processor clocked at 2.5 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 3.5 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4600 GPU and a dual channel DDR3 memory controller.

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.

Intel Core i5:

4210U: Haswell-based ULV dual-core processor clocked at 1.7 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 2.7 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4400 and a dual-channel DDR3 memory controller.
