Most gaming laptops with RTX 4050 graphics tend to run between $800 and $1,000, which is why the Acer Nitro V really stands out. Right now, it’s on sale for $649.99 on Amazon. That’s $150 off the original $799.99 price. It’s a Prime Day exclusive, so yeah, you’ll need an Amazon Prime subscription to grab it.
The RTX 4050 card is a nice bump up from the older RTX 3050, and it supports DLSS 3 (for better frame rates) and ray tracing for fun lighting effects. You should be able to run most modern titles at 1080p on high no problem.
The Nitro V’s got 8GB of DDR5 RAM and a 512GB SSD under the hood. 8GB of RAM isn’t a ton, but you can always add more down the line if need be. The 15.6-inch 1080p display is also very smooth thanks to its 144Hz refresh rate. This is perfect if you’re into twitchy shooters.
At this price? It’s a killer deal for anyone looking to get into PC gaming without shelling out a bunch of cash.
