Acer Aspire V Nitro Black Edition – Low Budget Gaming

Are you a gamer searching for a new cheap gaming notebook? Acer released the Aspire V Nitro series made for low budget gaming. As we all know Acer has always produced cheap and high quality laptops, and now the V Nitro is not an exception.

The notebook models come in two sizes – V15 Nitro (15” display) and V17 Nitro (Full HD 17” display). The price for the V15 version is fairly low – less than 900 euros, the V17 version is just a little bit more expensive, as it has full hd resolution display. Here is a closer look at the specification of the notebooks:

Display

The display is the main difference between the two models, one of them (V15) is with a 15” display having the 1366×768 resolution, which requires less performance and in aspect of power saving is better in my opinion. But if you are searching for a good gaming experience and are able to give 50-100 euros or dollars more, the full hd version (V17) is the recommended one.

Both models have matte displays, but only the Full HD version has IPS, which is a little bit disappointing.

Performance

The performance of the notebook is definitely outstanding, as the target of these models are the gamers. The Acer Aspire V Nitro comes with Intel i7 4710HQ cpu, reaching up to 3.5ghz in turbo mode! Awesome, huh?

The GPU of the laptop is a powerful one – the nVidia GeForce GTX 860M with 2GB GDDR5 memory, which is a true dream for the notebook gamers.

Both the cpu and gpu do great job, in addition the 8GB DDR3 ram makes sure that the multitasking is problem-free.

Both versions are with SSD, which gives us smooth and fast OS & gaming performance.

Design

The design of this notebook is the thing I really liked from first sight. The laptop is light – less than 2.2kgs, slim and also having super cool keyboard light as you can see in the picture. Well there are lighter notebooks, but having in mind that this one is for gamers, I think Acer has done good job with the design of this model.

The conclusion

To conclude, I would say that for its price, this is maybe the best gaming notebook available on the market at the moment. The design, including the light in the keyboard, is just one of the things that make this device so special. The CPU and GPU of this laptop are just outstanding for it’s price, there are a lot of other expensive laptops that offer even 3rd generation i5 processors for this price, that’s why I am sure that Acer Aspire V Nitro models beat the competition in this price range.
