Reviews for the Acer Nitro 14 AN14-41
Source: PC World
The Acer Nitro 14 offers great performance for the price. It’s a solid deal compared to other 14-inch gaming laptops with RTX 4060 hardware, like the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 and HP Omen Transcend 14. The Acer Nitro 14 costs hundreds of dollars less than those machines. I love seeing high-performing budget gaming laptops around the $1,000 mark. You don’t need the fanciest, most expensive laptop to have a great gaming experience, and this machine proves it. You do have to make some compromises, and you’ll find features like OLED screens, all-metal construction, snappier keyboards, and higher-resolution webcams on more expensive machines. But if your main priorities are speedy gaming performance at a low price, this machine is a good value.

Unlike the competition, which has tried — not without success — to create a new breed of 14in discrete GPU laptops, Acer has just made a compact gaming laptop. That’s resulted in a cheaper machine that can still run AAA games at higher frame rates. The OLED screens and speaker systems on the Omen Transcend 14 and Lenovo Legion Slim 5 are better, but the Nitro 14 is a fair bit cheaper. The model with an RTX 4060, Ryzen 7 8845HS CPU, Full HD 120Hz screen, 16GB of RAM and 1TB SSD will only set you back £1,399 and should provide a very similar user experience to the fully loaded model I was sent to test. That’s pretty compelling value for a compact, capable gaming laptop such as this.

Well folks, if you are often on the go and you want to play heavy games after work, the Acer Nitro 14 (AN14-41) ticks a lot of checkmarks in this category. The Zen 4 CPUs are powerful enough for 3D rendering and the optional GeForce RTX with its 110W TGP is ready for heavy-duty gaming. The surprisingly big cooling allows high CPU and GPU clocks longer loads (4.67 GHz / 2600 MHz) and that’s why the overall performance is great. The SSD of our laptop is snappy. It reaches 7100 / 6800 MB/s read and write speed in Crystal Disk Mark – not too shabby! The high performance has its downside – toasty internals during long stress. However, under gaming in “Turbo” mode, the WASD section doesn’t feel hot and the fans aren’t unbearably noisy.

14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact.
In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.
