Reviews for the Acer Nitro 16 AN16-42

Acer Nitro 16 (AN16-42) review – Powerhouse Performance with Cool Internals
Source: Laptop Media English
The Acer Nitro 16 (AN16-42) is a true gaming device with almost zero compromises. The big thermal system cools well the processor and the graphics card – their temperatures under load are low while the frequencies are high. Also, the keyboard gets just slightly hot which allows you to use the laptop comfortably for long hours of gaming. Especially if you choose the “Performance” preset which offers almost the same CPU and GPU power limits and much lower noise levels than the “Turbo” preset. The snappy IPS display (8 ms pixel response times) is PWM-free and gets pretty color-accurate with our “Design and Gaming” profile (average dE 1.2).

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


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 but with higher clock speeds on the Ryzen AI NPU. The 8845HS features 8 cores (16 threads thanks to SMT support) running at up to 5.1 GHz. Last but not the least, the Radeon 780M serves as the integrated GPU.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


16.00":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

2.65 kg:

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.


Acer: In 1976, the company was founded in Taiwan under the name Multitech and was renamed Acer or Acer Group in 1987.
