How to open Acer Nitro V 16 AI (ANV16-61) - disassembly and upgrade options

Acer Nitro V 16 AI (ANV16-61) review – Budget Gaming Laptop of the Year?
Source: Laptop Media English
The Acer Nitro V 16 AI (ANV16-61) confidently carries forward the Nitro lineage with a design that is both familiar and appealingly aggressive, featuring sharp lines and a fingerprint-resistant black plastic chassis that feels surprisingly robust. While not the lightest gaming laptop, its weight and dimensions are perfectly reasonable for a 16-inch machine packing considerable hardware. It offers a comfortable full-sized keyboard with a NumPad and vibrant orange backlighting, complemented by a generously sized and responsive trackpad. The inclusion of a high-resolution 1080p 60fps webcam with advanced features is a nice touch, though the absence of a physical privacy shutter is a minor omission. Where the Nitro V 16 AI truly excels is in delivering outstanding performance for its class, particularly with the reviewed AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 configuration.

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.


With these GPUs you are able to play modern and demanding games fluently at medium detail settings and HD resolution.

NVIDIA NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU: High-end graphics card for laptops based on the Ada Lovelace architecture. Offers 8 GB GDDR6 (128 Bit) and is configurable with a TGP of 35 - 115W (+ Dynamic Boost). 

These graphics cards are able to play the latest and most demanding games in high resolutions and full detail settings with enabled Anti-Aliasing.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop: An upcoming graphics card from the Blackwell family for laptops, which Team Green will most likely present at CES 2025. Considering that the 4070 laptop has 4,608 unified shaders (CUDA cores), the 5070 will most likely have well over 5,000 shaders.

AMD :

Ryzen AI 7 350: A relatively powerful Krackan Point family processor that was introduced in early 2025. The APU integrates 8 CPU cores (4 Zen 5 cores with up to 5 GHz and 4 Zen 5c cores with up to 3.5 GHz).

AMD Hawk Point (Zen 4/4c):

R7 260: A fast Hawk Point family chip that saw the light of day in H1 2025. The chip is identical to the old Ryzen 7 8845HS, meaning it is an octa-core Zen 4 CPU running at up to 5.1 GHz. Furthermore, the chip integrates a dedicated NPU with 16 TOPS.

16.00:

This range for display formats was and is a rarity. It is larger than the general standard of 15 inches, but not yet in the range of large workstations. One usually has higher screen resolutions available, but portability suffers from that.
