Reviews for the Acer Nitro 16 AN16-41, R5 7640HS RTX 4050
Acer Nitro 16 Review: Big, Bright and Brisk Budget Gaming Laptop
Source: CNet
On the whole, the Nitro 16 is a well-rounded budget gaming laptop with strong performance from its full-power RTX 4050 GPU, a solid if all-plastic chassis and big and bright display. It can frequently be found at a discount of $900 where it's a great buy, delivering outstanding bang for your budget gaming buck. If Acer's similar but slightly better Predator Helios Neo 16 can also be found on sale for less than $1,000, however, then it gets our recommendation as the best budget gaming laptop you can buy right now.

Acer Nitro 16 AMD review: performance on a budget
Source: Techradar
The Acer Nitro 16 AMD is not the prettiest gaming laptop out there – it’s a bit bulky as well – but it delivers competent performance even with a 165Hz refresh rate. It’s also on the affordable side of the gaming laptop spectrum. You won’t be wowed by the webcam or battery life, but the overall package will deliver, especially for competitive gamers.

Acer Nitro 16 (2023) Review
Source: USA Today
The gaming performance and bright, crisp 1200p display make the Acer Nitro 16 a surprisingly capable gaming laptop, especially considering its relatively low price of $1,200. Budget gaming laptops are an exercise in tradeoffs, and many manufacturers make cuts in the wrong areas, but Acer doesn’t here. The Nitro 16 doesn’t chase pure performance, falling back on an RTX 4050 instead of an RTX 4060, but its display and battery are ahead of options like the MSI Katana 15. The 16:10 display is perfect for editing photos or documents in addition to gaming. The areas where the laptop does falter are easier to deal with than some alternatives, like the Acer Nitro 16’s sound. It’s not terrible, but it’s not particularly impactful. If you’re using the laptop for gaming, however, you may want to use a gaming headset anyway, in which case the relatively weak speakers don’t matter as much. This is true of the pre-installed software as well: once you’ve gone through the trouble of uninstalling it, you don’t have to worry about it anymore.
