Maximum gaming experience on an 18-incher? Acer Nitro 18 AI gaming laptop review

Name: Acer Nitro 18 AI AN18-61-R10V
Brand: Acer

Light and shadow.

While there are many gaming notebooks in the 15- to 17-inch range, the offerings in the massive 18-inch segment are rather limited. With the Nitro 18 AI, Acer is trying to take on the competition from Asus and MSI. How does the comparison turn out?

Verdict

The Nitro 18 AI turns out to be a good gaming laptop in 18-inch format in the tested version with Ryzen AI 7 350 and GeForce RTX 5070, which has almost no significant weaknesses. For example, the slow card reader and high latencies will only affect some users. The fact that the mid-range model is very loud in the Performance and Turbo system modes is also bearable, as the fans remain significantly quieter in Balanced mode, while the CPU and GPU hardly lose any speed.

On the positive side, the chic RGB lighting of the keyboard and the rather powerful 90 Wh battery should be mentioned. Meanwhile, upgrade fans will be pleased with the two SO-DIMM and M.2-2280 slots, one of which is still free. In many other categories, the 18-incher lands in the midfield or does not stand out from the crowd, be it the chassis, the sound system, the IPS display, the connections or the input devices, which are all solid.

The Nitro 18 AI's main competitors are the Asus computers TUF Gaming A18 and ROG Strix G18 and the MSI behemoths Crosshair 18 HX and Vector A18 HX.

Pros

+ two RAM & SSD slots

+ good system performance

+ RGB lighting

+ more powerful battery

Cons

- higher performance modes quite loud

- lame card reader

- lousy latencies

Housing

A little more could have been done with the casing. Although the 18-incher offers excellent stability over long stretches, you will look in vain for high-quality metal surfaces. The design proves to be neither simple nor particularly playful, with only a few more striking elements on the underside (see photos). The hinges do a reliable job and the maximum opening angle of just under 150° is fine. With a weight of 3.0 kg (~6.6 lbs), the Nitro 18 AI sits comfortably among the competition, which weighs between 2.6 and 3.5 kg (~5.7 and ~7.7 lbs). The overall height is even slightly lower than that of its competitors.

Equipment

While buyers have to do without Thunderbolt, there is at least a USB 4 port on board. In general, the 18-inch laptop offers two Type-C and three Type-A ports, which is sufficient. There is also an audio socket, an HDMI output, a microSD reader, an RJ45 LAN port and an opening for Kensington locks.

The wireless module from MediaTek (Wi-Fi 6E) performs particularly well in terms of reception. Thanks to its Full HD resolution, the webcam is somewhat sharper than on many other gaming laptops, but it is still not really impressive. To access the inner workings, 10 Phillips screws have to be removed. Our pictures reveal what it looks like under the hood.

Input devices

The input devices cut a fine figure. The keyboard scores points not least with a successful layout, well-dimensioned directional arrows and powerful RGB lighting. The feedback is based on the usual rubber dome level, so could be even firmer.

The touchpad is very generously sized at around 15 x 9 cm (~5.9 x 3.5 in) - even for an 18-inch device. The surface is relatively smooth, but we would have liked better or more precise feedback from the click surfaces here and there.

Display

The display leaves a usable impression. An average brightness of 288 cd/m² is a little low for outdoor use, but hardly any user will drag the 18-inch model outside. The competitors still perform better here - in some cases over 500 cd/m² is achieved. The contrast of around 1,130:1, on the other hand, is not out of line. Full sRGB and DCI-P3 coverage are also impressive, although the color accuracy in the delivery state is rather poor. The response times and viewing angles are based on the typical IPS level. Acer specifies a frequency of 165 Hz and the resolution is a crisp 2,560 x 1,600 pixels (16:10 format).

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White
9.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 4.5 ms rise
9.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 4.9 ms fall
The screen shows fast response rates in our tests and should be suited for gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 25 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (20.1 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
6.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 3.2 ms rise
6.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 3.6 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 19 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (31.4 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 7996 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Performance

The Nitro 18 AI is available in various configurations, which differ not only in terms of RAM and SSD, but also in terms of the CPU (Ryzen AI 5 340 to Ryzen AI 9 365) and the GPU (RTX 5050 to RTX 5070 Ti) differ. The price varies accordingly.

Test conditions

The NitroSense tool contains four different operating modes, ranging from quiet to turbo. Our measurements (apart from the battery test) were carried out with the performance profile.

Processor

Although the Ryzen AI 7 350 (8 cores, 16 threads) cannot compete with the more expensive models Core Ultra 9 275HX and Ryzen 9 9955HX of the competition and is roughly on a par with the old Ryzen 7 260 the Zen 5 chip is still a solid processor with good performance that should be more than enough for most users.

Gaming performance

There were also no surprises in terms of gaming performance; the results are within the usual range for the RTX 5070 when using higher resolutions and settings. Although the GPU does not always have enough power for maximum details in the native QHD range, high settings are usually possible (even if not always at 60+ fps).

If you want to get a higher frame rate, you can still use features such as upscaling. Including DLSS Balanced, the performance in Black Ops 7 for example, increased from 24 to 45 fps (QHD, Extreme Preset, Ray Tracing). With quadruple frame generation, it was even 121 fps. How smooth these values feel in practice depends from player to player.

Notebookcheck overall rating

Even though the Nitro 18 AI is a good 18-inch gamer, in the end it is not enough to take the crown in this segment. The MSI Vector A18 HX, the Asus TUF Gaming A18 and ROG Strix G18, all performed better overall. Acer's Nitro ends up with a final score more on par with the MSI Crosshair 18 HX.

Editor of the original article: Florian Glaser - Managing Editor Gaming Laptops - 704 articles published on Notebookcheck since 2009

I discovered my interest in computers in my childhood, growing up with MS-DOS and Windows 3.1 in the early 1990s. I was especially fascinated with computer games, even from an early age. From Monkey Island through Lands of Lore to Doom, I tried every game I could get my hands on. I have been working for Notebookcheck since 2009 with my focus mostly being on high-performance gaming laptops.
