"When the price dropped to $629, I sat up in my chair. Gaming laptops built with the latest components don't usually come that cheap, especially one powered by Nvidia's RTX 5050 graphics card. There has to be a catch, right? There are certainly issues, including a 135-watt power adapter that can drain the battery while gaming. Despite the shortcomings, the Nitro V 16 is still one of the best cheap gaming laptops you can buy if you're on a tight budget."
"The Acer Nitro V 16 has an old-school PC gaming laptop design, but it's not as over-the-top as gaming laptops of the past. It's certainly not portable, though, weighing 5.4 pounds and nearly an inch thick; you won't want to lug this thing around everywhere. It's right around the same size as the Alienware 16X Aurora."
"The included 135-watt charger isn't sufficient. The display has truly awful color coverage. Thick and heavy chassis. Speakers and webcam are low-quality."
Acer Nitro V 16 pairs Nvidia RTX 5050 graphics with an unusually low sub-$900 price, occasionally dropping to $629. The laptop delivers strong gaming performance, many ports including microSD, three USB-A, headphone jack, HDMI and USB-C, and a keyboard and touchpad that punch above their weight. The chassis weighs 5.4 pounds and is nearly an inch thick, reducing portability. A 135-watt power adapter can be insufficient and may drain the battery during gaming. The 16-inch 1920 x 1200 display has poor color coverage, and speakers and webcam are low quality, though build quality is decent for the price.
