80% Acer Nitro 14 review: Honey, I shrunk the Nitro!
Source: Expert Reviews
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.

Acer Nitro 14 (AN14-41) review – A Gamer on the Go’s Dream
Source: Laptop Media
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.

宏碁 Nitro 14 (AN14-41) 评测–旅行玩家的梦想
Source: Laptop Media
好了，朋友们，如果你经常外出，下班后想玩玩重度游戏，宏碁 Nitro 14（AN14-41）在这一类别中打了很多勾。Zen 4 CPU 的性能足以满足 3D 渲染的需要，而选配的 GeForce RTX 及其 110W TGP 则可以满足重度游戏的需要。出人意料的大面积散热允许 CPU 和 GPU 在更长时间内保持高频率（4.67 GHz / 2600 MHz），这也是整体性能出色的原因。我们笔记本电脑的固态硬盘非常迅捷。它在 Crystal Disk Mark 中的读写速度达到了 7100 / 6800 MB/s，并不逊色！高性能也有它的缺点–长时间工作时内部发热。不过，在 “Turbo “模式下进行游戏时，WASD 部分并不会感觉发热，风扇的噪音也不会让人难以忍受。内存是焊接的，而且只有一个 M.2 插槽用于安装第 4 代固态硬盘。也许这些都是为了尽可能减轻笔记本重量而做出的必要牺牲。不过，最大内存容量仍为 32GB，似乎可以满足未来的需要。端口选择看起来很现代–两个第 2 代 Type-A 接口和两个 USB4 接口。基本的 1200p IPS 显示屏（TCL CSOT CSW1437）具有 97% 的 sRGB 和不错的色彩准确度（平均 dE 1.2），在应用我们的 “设计和游戏 “配置文件时，甚至可以胜任对色彩敏感的专业工作。120Hz 设备的最大亮度为 330 nit。Nitro 14 是一款小巧但功能强大的游戏机，配备无 PWM 的 IPS 显示屏、超长电池续航时间、舒适的输入设备和适当的制造质量。
Positive: High performance; beautiful display; rich set of ports; excellent ergonomics; fast SSD storage. Negative: Overheats while using; non-expandable RAM.

R7 8845HS: A powerful Hawk Point family chip that saw the light of day in H2 2023. We believe the 8845HS to be an R7 7840HS in disguise. The 8845HS features 8 cores (16 threads thanks to SMT support) running at up to 5.1 GHz; in addition to the full might of the Zen 4 architecture, the chip comes with the 2nd generation Ryzen AI technology that's set to make generative AI more ubiquitous than ever before. Last but not the least, the Radeon 780M serves as the integrated GPU.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

14.50":

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. 

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.

80%: 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.
