Deal | Highly-rated Acer Nitro 17 gaming laptop with Ryzen 7 7840HS and RTX 4060 enjoys US$250 discount on Amazon

The 17-inch Acer Nitro 17 gaming laptop has now been discounted by 18% on Amazon. The US$250 price cut brings the total rate down to US$1,149.99 (via slickdeals). Equipped with an RTX 4060 GPU, a Ryzen 7 7840HS CPU, 16 GB of DDR5 memory, and 1 TB of storage, the Acer Nitro 17 is an excellent machine through and through, as shown by an 88% rating that the laptop got in our review.

We noted in our testing that, although the Acer Nitro 17 is a big machine with a thick build, the device is well-crafted with minimal flexing and creaking. Additionally, the 17.3-inch QHD panel also puts up an impressive showing. It covers 98.3% of the DCI-P3, 100% of the sRGB, and 85.7% of the AdobeRGB color gamut. Combined with 326 nits of average brightness and a 165 Hz refresh rate, the display on the Acer Nitro 17 will serve gamers quite well.

Ultimately, a gaming laptop is as good as its performance. Fortunately, the Acer Nitro 17 is an excellent mid-range performer. Our review unit which was equipped with a Core i7-13700H CPU and an RTX 4060 was enough to drive even demanding games like Hogwarts Legacy, Star Ward Jedi Survivors, and Cyberpunk 2077 at 60+ FPS at 1080p with Ultra quality graphics. Drop the settings down a bit and the RTX 4060 can even handle QHD gaming at decent frame rates.

One can expect similar CPU performance from the Ryzen 7 7840HS featured in the SKU on sale. AMD’s latest Zen 4 mobile chips are admirable performers and the Ryzen 7 7840HS is no exception. It is on par with the Core i7-13700H in our testing with a performance rating of 58.9%.

All in all, if you are in the market for a mid-range gaming notebook with a big display, the Acer Nitro 17 should be on your watchlist thanks in part to the latest discount.
