Verdict
The Nitro V 15 is currently retailing for just over €1,000. Buyers without particularly high expectations will get a capable gaming laptop that may not reach peak performance levels but, aside from its limited display colour gamut, does not commit any major missteps. Starting with the chassis, which features an appealing textured lid, the device also offers decent input devices and a solid port selection, including Thunderbolt 4.
As the RAM (2x 8 GB DDR4) and SSD (1 TB M.2) are not soldered, both memory and storage can be upgraded if required. Unfortunately, gaming performance is somewhat held back, as the Core i5-13420H and RTX 5050 are unable to fully realise their potential in this configuration. Overall, the 15-inch laptop narrowly misses out on a “Good” rating.
Other laptops in this price and performance class worth considering include the MSI Cyborg 15, the HP Victus 15 and the Lenovo LOQ 15.
Pros
Cons
Price and availability
The tested Acer Nitro V 15 ANV15-52-50S2 is available from various online retailers for prices starting at around €1,050 (for example, from Notebooksbilliger). Pricing and availability may vary by region.
Specifications
Case
Acer uses an all-plastic chassis that is mostly well finished, although some areas exhibit noticeable flex. The hinges feel a little loose and allow the display to open to a maximum angle of approximately 145°. Weighing 2.1 kg, the laptop matches its predecessor in terms of weight, while the overall design remains similar but not entirely unchanged.
Connectivity
Aside from the absence of a card reader, the port selection leaves little room for criticism. The Gigabit LAN port, HDMI output and 3.5 mm audio jack are complemented by three USB-A ports and a Thunderbolt 4 connector. A Kensington lock slot is also included. The Wi-Fi 6E module delivers middling performance, and the rather soft webcam produces similarly unimpressive results. Accessing the internals requires removing 11 Phillips screws. Images of the interior can be found further below.

Input devices
We were not entirely satisfied with the keyboard layout. Points of criticism include the three-column numeric keypad instead of a full four-column layout, as well as the rather small central arrow keys. The typing experience is typical rubber-dome fare and therefore nothing particularly remarkable. There is also room for improvement when it comes to the backlighting. The orange illumination is not especially bright, even at its highest setting. On the plus side, the 15-inch laptop features a fairly large touchpad measuring 12.6 x 7.8 cm, although it feels somewhat rattly when clicked.
Display
Unfortunately, limited colour coverage remains an issue for more affordable gaming laptops even in 2026. Similar to the Cyborg 15 and the Victus 15, the Nitro V 15 lingers below the 70% sRGB mark, resulting in a rather pale image. The verdict on brightness is more positive. Although the average of 347 cd/m² is not a highlight, most competitors fall short of this figure. The remaining values are typical for an IPS panel, whether it be a black level of 0.31 cd/m² or a contrast ratio of 1,232:1. The same largely applies to the viewing angles.

Performance
The Nitro V 15 belongs to the mid-range segment, although performance in some areas tends to lean more towards entry-level. Buyers willing to spend a little more can also opt for configurations featuring a faster CPU (Core i7-13620H) or a more powerful GPU (GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU).
Test conditions
The NitroSense utility offers four operating modes, the differences between which can be found in the table below. All of our measurements were taken in Performance mode, with the exception of the battery test, which was conducted in Balanced mode.

| Cinebench R15 multi-core score | 934 points | 1769 points | 1775 points | 1782 points |
Processor
The installed Core i5-13420H is a no longer particularly new model from Intel's Raptor Lake generation. It features four performance cores (with Hyper-Threading) and four efficiency cores (without Hyper-Threading), allowing for up to 12 simultaneous threads.
The CPU benchmarks revealed no irregularities. Performance remains stable and is in line with other devices equipped with the i5-13420H. Greater performance can be found in competing models based on AMD processors such as the Ryzen 7 250 and Ryzen 7 260.

Overall system performance is unremarkable and places the Nitro V 15 in the middle of the comparison field. Only the memory performance proves somewhat underwhelming.

DPC latencies
The latency results are similarly modest to those of the recently tested Cyborg 15. The predecessor achieved significantly lower (that is, better) values in this regard.

Storage
The 1 TB Kingston SSD unfortunately suffers from performance drops under sustained load. However, this issue is not unique to the Nitro V 15 and also affects several competitors, including the Lenovo LOQ 15.

GPU performance
Thanks to its solid maximum TGP of 75 watts, the GeForce RTX 5050 delivers performance in line with the previously recorded average for this GPU. However, the difference compared to the predecessor's RTX 4050 remains rather modest.

Gaming performance
Older or less demanding games generally run smoothly at the native resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 even at maximum settings. However, with current or more demanding titles, only medium to high settings are often the practical limit if frame rates above 40 FPS are desired. Upscaling can be used as an alternative if required.
With DLSS set to Quality mode, for example, Until Dawn achieved 44 FPS on the Ultra preset instead of 36 FPS. As usual, even higher frame rates can be reached through frame generation.

Emissions
Noise emissions
Under load, the Acer Nitro V 15 becomes slightly louder than most competitors at 48 to 54 dB(A). More sensitive users can, of course, select a different operating mode. In Cyberpunk 2077, switching to Balanced mode reduces the noise level from 52 to 45 dB(A) without sacrificing much performance.

Temperature
Temperatures are in line with expectations for an RTX 5050 laptop. In idle operation, the chassis remains pleasantly cool.
(-) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 46 °C / 115 F, compared to the average of 40.4 °C / 105 F, ranging from 21.2 to 68.8 °C for the class Gaming.
(-) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 49 °C / 120 F, compared to the average of 43.3 °C / 110 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 25.8 °C / 78 F, compared to the device average of 33.9 °C / 93 F.
(±) 3: The average temperature for the upper side is 37.8 °C / 100 F, compared to the average of 33.9 °C / 93 F for the class Gaming.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 31 °C / 87.8 F and are therefore cool to the touch.
(-) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.8 °C / 83.8 F (-2.2 °C / -4 F).

Stress test
Our stress test using the tools FurMark and Prime95 pushed the GPU to around 75 °C, while the CPU settled at approximately 80 °C after a short period.
Loudspeaker
The sound quality is in the mid-range. As with most notebooks, the bass in particular leaves a lot to be desired.

Energy management
energy consumption
With an average of 18 watts, the power requirement in idle mode could be lower. Under load, the 15-incher consumes between 66 and 119 watts, so the included 135-watt power supply is not overtaxed.

Battery life
Although the battery capacity has increased significantly from 57 to 76 Wh, battery life is worse than that of the predecessor. In our Wi-Fi test with brightness reduced to 150 cd/m², the device managed only around 5.5 hours, which is still acceptable compared to the competition.

Notebookcheck overall rating
With a wider colour gamut, the Nitro V 15 would be a worthy rival to the Lenovo LOQ 15. As it stands, however, it only reaches the level of the HP Victus 15 and the MSI Cyborg 15, which are similarly priced at around €1,000 but deliver slightly better overall results.
