Reviews for the Acer Nitro 17 AN17-71
Acer Nitro 17 (AN17-71) review – the gap between the Predator and Nitro series is only cosmetic
Source: Laptop Media
So, 2023 proves to be a really difficult year for gamers looking for a medium-budget laptop. The reason for that is the presence of many good choices, contrary to the expectations. One of the better options out there is the Acer Nitro 17 (AN17-71). It is extremely powerful and has a very impressive cooling solution. It is able to take advantage of the RTX 4060 (with its MUX switch) while running at temperatures of less than 70°C. We didn’t particularly like the fact that you need to go to the BIOS settings in order to access the “dGPU only” function. At the same time, this mode is readily available in the first-party software in competitors like the ASUS ROG Strix G16, or within the NVIDIA Control Center in the Dell G16 7630. Another thing we were not fascinated by was the weight of the device.
