Archive.org versionThe Acer Aspire V17 Nitro Black Edition (VN7-791G) is just as good as its little brother. It has the same premium build quality, thin profile and powerful hardware. The screen is almost the same with just a little bump in the size. The interior is just as comfortable – good keyboard, nice, but sometimes inconsistent touchpad, and red LED backlight. We did notice, however, that the lid bends easily under small pressure due to the fact that the hinges are placed apart and the middle of the screen stands unsupported. Although, this is a minor issue that most people will not even notice.

Archive.org versionThis a great option for those seeking a large, powerful all-rounder of a laptop that can turn its hand to just about anything. Whether it’s gaming for the kids, powering through your work or just sitting back and watching the latest episode of Game of Thrones on a nice big HD screen, it can do the lot. This it backs up with a smart if not altogether premium look and the addition of Intel’s RealSense camera is both a bit of fun and potentially a useful extra when new software and Windows 10 arrives.

Nitro light. The Aspire would like to replace the desktop PC at home when it is ready for retirement. An Acer laptop with a decent configuration costs about 700 Euros (~$741). However, the computer has a high energy demand.
Acer Aspire V Nitro 7-791G-70TW
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. Do not let the sleek profile fool you as the laptop packs in a considerable amount of firepower. Gaming users will appreciate the Intel Core i7-4720HQ processor clocked at 2.6 GHz, 16 GB dual-channel DDR3 SDRAM, an Nvidia GeForce GTX960M and the 256 GB SSD + 1 TB HDD combo. 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. The Acer Aspire V Nitro 7-791G-70TW comes with a 3-cell Lithium-Ion battery and operates on Windows 8.1 64 bit.Specifications

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.

Archive.org versionThe 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.

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.

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.
4210H: Haswell-based dual-core processor clocked at 2.9 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 3.5 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4600 GPU and a dual-channel DDR3 memory controller. Very high TDP (47 W).
