The Acer Nitro V 16 (ANV16-41) has the potential to be a blockbuster in the budget category. It has a good cooling solution that allows high CPU and GPU clocks under load. At the same time, the fans aren’t too noisy. The upgradability is great – two SODIMM slots for DDR5 memory and two M.2 slots compatible with Gen 4 SSDs, It’s nice to see that Acer has included additional thermal pads for the RAM modules and for the two NVMe drives as well. The 1200p display (AUO B160UAN05.K (AUO80AD)) is a rare find in this price class. The 165Hz unit impresses with snappy response times for an IPS panel, high max brightness of 353 cd/m2, and full sRGB coverage. Not only that, but the color accuracy is superb when our “Design and Gaming” profile is applied.

In the end, let’s try to weigh our options here. The Nitro V 16 offers a good value of bang for-buck performance, paired with an accurate screen, and decent endurance. It’s going to be a good choice for those who’ll benefit from a beefier CPU and are content with playing games at 1080p. If maximum FPS is all you’re looking for, going for an RTX 4060 laptop like the new LOQ 2024 is a better choice. That guy has a more premium build, a beefier GPU both in terms of CUDA cores, and TGP (105W RTX 4060), and a multi-zone RGB keyboard. But you are sacrificing a few things like a stronger CPU, efficiency/endurance, and a downgraded display.

The Acer Nitro V 16 is a nice entry-level gaming laptop that turned out to be more interesting than you'd expect from a model in this category. First of all, thanks to the high performance and efficient cooling system, thanks to which the laptop works stably under any load. I was also pleased with the full-size keyboard with a separate number pad, a good touchpad, loud stereo speakers, and a restrained, versatile appearance. Given the price category, the developers had to save some money. That's why the laptop has a budget screen and no means of owner recognition.

Even at the MSRP of $1,099 to $1,129, the Acer Nitro V 16 offers a fantastic value and it’s usually discounted to under $1,000. For that sum, you get a big, fast display that’s great for twitchy games and the RTX 4060 has enough horsepower to run almost any modern title at medium or high settings. You could spend a little more to get even better gaming performance or an OLED display, but the V 16 is a good value for the mid-range. Just don’t expect to take the show on the road—with a meager 56Wh battery, I found the battery life to be substandard. No gaming laptop is going to frag forever on battery, but this one doesn’t even last as long as most.

Acer proves that a tight budget doesn’t necessarily lead to a limited gaming experience. The Acer Nitro V 16 (ANV16-71) delivers solid performance at an affordable price. The device feels fast and responsive for work, and thanks to the two-fan cooling, the performance is always there when you need it. You can play games with greatly bumped visuals, with a few exceptions here and there like Metro Exodus. In addition, the comfort during max loads seems adequate. The keyboard isn’t hot to the touch and the fans aren’t intrusively noisy. Yes, they are clearly audible and you can hear the airflow, but nothing too extreme. The default 1200p IPS panel (B160UAN05.B (AUOD8B1)) has its good and bad sides. Let’s start with the positives.

AMD Hawk Point (Zen 4/4c):
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.
R5 8645HS: An upper mid-range processor (APU) of the Hawk Point family. This isn't an entirely new chip; instead, the 8645HS is a rebadged Ryzen 5 7640HS with higher clock speeds on the Ryzen AI NPU. The 8645HS was brought to life in Q4 2023 and it has 6 SMT-enabled Zen 4 cores (12 threads) running at 4.3 GHz to 5.0 GHz. The Radeon 760M iGPU is responsible for carrying out 3D calculations and similar duties.
Intel Raptor Lake-HX:
i7-14650HX: High-end mobile hybrid processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture with 16 cores (8 performance and 8 efficiency cores) and 24 threads. Based on the Raptor Lake S 13700K chip.

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.
