Deal | Acer Nitro V 16 AI with RTX 5050 is more affordable than ever after dropping 30% to record-low price

We are starting to see more and more gaming laptops enjoy big discounts. Like previous years, this trend will keep accelerating until we reach the big sales events of the year, like Black Friday and Cyber Monday. However, you don’t need to wait for Black Friday 2025 to get a gaming laptop for a super affordable price, as Walmart has now put the Acer Nitro V 16 AI (ANV16-42) on sale.

In fact, the Acer Nitro V 16 AI is now retailing at its lowest price ever of just $629. This is a discount of $270 on the list price. This sales price is quite good when we consider the hardware on offer.

The Acer Nitro V 16 AI on sale features a 6-core Ryzen 5 240 CPU, a 95 W RTX 5050 laptop GPU, 16 GB of RAM, and 512 GB of storage. The RAM and storage can be enhanced to a maximum of 32 GB and 2 TB, respectively, courtesy of two SO-DIMM and one M.2 slot.

Display-wise, the laptop packs a 16-inch IPS panel with a 1,920 x 1,200 resolution, a smooth 180 Hz refresh rate, and a 16:10 aspect ratio. Sadly, being a budget gaming laptop, the Acer Nitro V 16’s display only covers around 45% of the NTSC color gamut. So, if you want to enjoy your games with better colors, consider buying a cost-effective 100% sRGB monitor from Amazon.

The laptop also includes a 76 Wh battery, a backlit keyboard, and a good port selection. The port collection is highlighted by one USB 4 and three USB 3 Type-A ports.

When it comes to gaming performance, the Acer Nitro V 16 AI will be more than powerful enough for FHD gaming. Our testing of the RTX 5050 laptop GPU puts it at the same level as the last-gen RTX 4060 laptop. In AAA games like Doom: The Dark Ages and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, the RTX 5050 manages more than 50 FPS at FHD/high.

All in all, the Acer Nitro V 16 AI is a no-frills, affordable gaming laptop built for FHD gaming. At just $629, there aren’t a lot of gaming laptops that currently offer better value than the Acer Nitro V 16 AI on sale. So, if you can’t wait for Black Friday 2025, the Nitro V 16 AI is worth considering.
