Acer Nitro 16 (AN16-51) review – great display and performance in one place
Source: Laptop Media English
The Acer Nitro 16 (AN16-51) is a real gem for people who don’t want to spend too much money on a gaming laptop. It has a stable base, and a comfortable backlit keyboard alongside an accurate touchpad. The design is typical for a gaming device with aggressive lines and “Lamborghini-like exhausts” on the back. The 16″ IPS display with G-Sync support is a rare find in this price segment. It has a 1600p resolution and 96% sRGB color coverage. Thanks to our “Gaming and Web design” profile, the color accuracy reaches an average dE value of just 1.0 which is awesome! This makes the display suitable for content creation and color-sensitive work. The panel is also PWM-free so you can use it for long hours of work but as always, you have to take short breaks from time to time. The performance of the laptop is very good. The thirsty Core i7-13700H is well-cooled and can maintain high frequencies and power limits.

70% Acer Nitro 16 Review
Source: Trusted Reviews English
The Nitro 16 is a bit of a conundrum. There are a lot of good-budget gaming laptops at the £1000 to £1500 price point, some packing the faster RTX 4060 GPU. We’ve yet to look at the Asus ROG Strix G16 or the MSI Cyborg 15, but both come with the aforementioned NVIDIA chip and promise great 1080p gaming at a slightly lower price point. We’ve just looked at the Gigabyte G5 (2023), which manages the same trick at under £1000. The Nitro 16 brings you a faster CPU, double the 16GB of RAM and that 16-inch, QHD+ screen, but without a GPU capable of powering it, you might be wondering: what’s the point? Personally, I’d be willing to pay the extra for the additional CPU horsepower and RAM, and for the advantages the screen brings when you’re watching 4K video, playing less demanding games or simply trying to get some work done.

The CPU clocks with up to 5 GHz. Compared to the i9-13900HK no easy overclocking supported, but instead full vPro management feature-set.» 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.

2.7 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. 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.


78%: 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.
