Case - The Nitro is home to a black chassis

The Nitro 16's chassis doesn't consist of premium case materials such as aluminum or magnesium. The entire case consists of black plastic. Acer has opted for matte, smooth surfaces. In addition to RGB keyboard lighting, some colorful light relief is provided in the form of a few thin, coloured stripes on the back of the case. Acer has decided against emblazoning the computer with some extrovert design elements.

The laptop doesn't appear to suffer from any manufacturing flaws. The gap dimensions are good with no noticeable material protrusions. The base unit can be twisted slightly and the lid considerably more. Applying pressure on the rear of the lid doesn't lead to display image distortion. The hinges hold the lid firmly in place with a maximum opening angle of around 165 degrees. A one-handed opening of the lid is possible.

Acer's computer is the heaviest and bulkiest amongst its peers. The competition tips the scales at a few hundred grams less than our review model.

Features - The Acer computer comes with USB 4

The AN16 has three USB-A ports (1x USB 2.0, 2x USB 3.2 Gen 2) and two USB-C ports (1x USB 3.2 Gen 2, 1x USB 4) at its disposal. The latter supports Power Delivery and can display a DisplayPort signal. The Nitro has a total of three video outputs (HDMI 2.1, 2x DP). These offerings are rounded off by an audio jack and a Gigabit Ethernet port.

The video outputs and power connector can be found on the rear of the device meaning any corresponding cables would run to the back of the laptop and not get in the way.

Webcam

The webcam (0.9 MP, max. 1,280 x 720 pixels) comes without a mechanical lens cover. In terms of quality, the camera doesn't deliver convincing results and also falls short regarding color accuracy: The colors deviate greatly from how they should be.

Accessories

In addition to the usual documents (quick start guide and warranty information), no other accessories are included.

Servicing

After removing the screws on the underside of the case, the base unit can be removed with the help of a flat spatula or plectrum.  Be careful: The base unit is secured quite firmly in place. Subsequently, the memory banks can be accessed (both occupied) as well as the SSD (PCIe 4), the second M.2-2280 slot (PCIe 4), the BIOS battery, the Wi-Fi module, the fans, the speakers and the battery.

Warranty

Acer has granted the 16-inch device a two-year guarantee. This can be extended to three years at an additional cost of almost $100.

Input devices - The Acer Nitro comes with RGB backlighting

Keyboard

Acer has equipped the AN16 with a chiclet keyboard which includes a numerical keypad as well as RGB lighting and is made from concave keys (letter, number row) and flat keys (function keys, numerical pad). The WASD and arrow keys are visually accentuated. That also applies to the separate NitroSense key which opens the laptop's similarly-named control center.

All the keys have short travel and a clearly defined pressure point. However, their resistance could be a little crisper. When typing, the keyboard flexes slightly but without being particularly annoying. All in all, Acer has delivered a keyboard fit for everyday use. 

Touchpad

A multitouch clickpad acts as a mouse replacement (approx. 12.6 x 7.7 cm) with its smooth surface ensuring a pleasant input experience. It possesses short travel and a clear pressure point.

The matte, 16-inch (2,560 x 1,600 pixels, IPS), 16:10 aspect ratio display scores well with G-Sync support, the absence of PWM flickering and fast response times.

The 165 Hz panel's brightness and contrast fulfil their expectations (> 300 cd/m² and 1,000:1, respectively). In particular, the display's brightness is worth highlighting (520 cd/m²).

* ... smaller is better

Out-of-the-box, the display boasts good color reproduction: With a deviation of around 1.9, the panel (DeltaE < 3) meets its requirements. Calibration reduces the deviation to 0.74 and ensures balanced gray scales. The panel completely covers the sRGB color space but, by contrast, not the AdobeRGB and DCI P3 color spaces. However, that is no different to the screens offered by the competition.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
5 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 2 ms rise
↘ 3 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 15 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (20.5 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
11 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 5 ms rise
↘ 6 ms fall

This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (32.1 ms).

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8354 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

The IPS panel has stable viewing angles and is legible from any position. The display can even be read outdoors due to its very high brightness.

Performance - AMD and Nvidia power the gaming laptop

Acer has multiple variants of the Nitro 16 - a mid-range gaming laptop - on offer. Ada Lovelace GPUs are combined with Intel or AMD CPUs. Our review model comes with AMD and can be had for around $2,000. Currently, devices in the series start at around  $1,450. This gets you a computer consisting of a Ryzen 5 7535HS, an RTX 4050, 16 GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, and a WUXGA display.

Test conditions

The laptop offers six manufacturer-specific performance modes - four mains, and two battery modes (see table). We used the "Performance" (benchmarks) and "Eco" (battery life testing) modes. "Turbo" and "Performance" are only available in mains operation (battery level > 30 %).

A button above the keyboard allows for quick switching between the modes. Alternatively, this can be done via the laptop's NitroSense software (the laptop's control center). An LED shows which mode is active.

Processor

The CPU part of the Ryzen 7 7735HS APU (Rembrandt R, Zen 3+) offers eight processor cores with 16 threads. The base clock speed of 3.2 GHz can be increased up to 4.75 GHz (one core). The benchmark results are a little higher than the 7735HS average seen so far. The differences between the four performance modes (mains) are relatively small.

The Asus TUF Gaming A16 FA617XS and the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16ARX8's AMD processors can't match our review model. Why? Thanks to improved architecture (Zen 4) and higher clock speeds, both eight-core CPUs have significantly more power - with slightly lower power requirements.

The CB15 loop test shows that the CPU acknowledges continuous multi-thread load with a consistently high-level turbo clock speed - independent of the selected performance mode. The "Turbo" profile ensures minimally higher values.

Graphics card

In our review model, Acer has paired its Ryzen 7 APU with a GeForce RTX 4070 laptop GPU and has granted it a maximum TGP of 140 watts - more isn't possible. According to the Witcher 3 test, the TGP isn't completely utilized. The GPU offers 4,608 shaders, a 128 bits bus width and fast GDDR6 RAM (8,192 MB).

The 3DMark results are above the RTX 4070 average. The performance differences between the four mains and two battery performance modes are very small. The dGPU mode does help matters. Switching between dGPU and Optimus doesn't require rebooting - Advanced Optimus is supported.

Gaming performance

The Nitro is designed for WQXGA gaming at high to maximum settings. Higher resolutions would be possible after connecting a corresponding monitor - at slightly reduced settings.

The frame rates are generally just above average for this GPU. Nevertheless, some undemanding titles or settings deliver considerably lower numbers - for example,  GTA V and Dota 2 Reborn. This can be traced back to the RTX 4070's  "Max Q" feature set: High performance is not the primary goal - the GPU should work as efficiently as possible. That includes not only energy requirements but also temperature levels and/or noise levels. The GTA V Ultra benchmark ran with a TGP average of almost 60 watts (50 to 75 watts).

Emissions - The Acer laptop can run quietly

Noise emissions

Generally, in everyday use (office, internet, etc) the computer runs quietly and sometimes silently. It was possible to achieve a maximum noise level of 62 dB(A) under full load using the "Performance" and "Turbo" modes. "Balanced" delivered its highest but also moderate value of 43.4 dB(A) and, therefore, represents a good compromise between noise and performance. The "Quiet" mode is responsible for maximum silence.

The performance differences between the modes are relatively modest. Therefore, "Balanced" and "Quiet" ensure gaming at moderate to low noise levels.

The stress test (Prime95 and Furmark in continuous operation) is an extreme scenario helping to check the system's stability under full load. CPU (4 to 4.1 GHz) and GPU (2,310 MHz) ran throughout the test at a high clock speed.

Speakers

The stereo speakers produce decent sound but are largely free of bass. A better audio experience could be achieved by connecting headphones or external speakers.

Battery life

In the Wi-Fi (using a script to load a website) and video tests (Big Buck Bunny short film (H.264 coding, FHD) in a loop), the 16-inch machine achieved run times of 9 and 10 hours 14 minutes, respectively. The laptop's energy-saving functions were deactivated and the display brightness was set to 150 cd/m² during both tests. Additionally, the radio module was switched off during the video tests.

The AN16-41 delivered very good runtimes, leaving most of the competition in its tracks. However, it can't quite manage the excellent values seen in the Asus TUF Gaming A16. The latter benefits from the more energy-efficient Zen 4 APU.

The battery has a capacity of 90 Wh.

The Acer Nitro 16 AN16-41-R3YX was provided by Acer Germany.
The Acer Nitro 16 AN16-41-R3YX was provided by Acer Germany.

Video editing, rendering and, of course, gaming represent the Nitro 16's core competencies with a Ryzen 7 7735HS and GeForce RTX 4070 providing the necessary power. Both chips run at consistently high clock speeds. A fast PCIe 4 SSD (1 TB) provides the required storage space and ensures short loading times.

With the Nitro 16 AN16-41, Acer has a well-specced, mid-range gaming laptop in its portfolio.

The laptop doesn't get overly warm and produces - with the right settings - a moderate level of background noise. The built-in IPS display (16 inch, 2560 x 1600 pixels, 165 Hz), with its work-friendly, 16:10 aspect ratio, left us impressed. In particular, it scores well with great brightness levels. 

A full battery charge (90 Wh) provides real-life run times of around 9 to 10 hours - very good numbers. Another positive: The battery can be charged via the USB-C adapter (min. 65 watts, 20 V) - both USB-C ports support Power Delivery meaning you don't always have to have the hefty, proprietary PSU (330 watts) nearby.

An alternative comes in the form of the Legion Pro 5 16IRX8. It offers more computational power than the Nitro but with significantly worse battery life. The Aorus 15 XE5 would be the budget alternative: Conversely, a somewhat lower performance level is reflected by the considerably lower price ($1599).

Price and availability

A variant of the Acer Nitro 16 AN16-41 with a Ryzen 9 7940HS CPU and an RTX 4070 is available on Amazon for $1696.
