Gaming can be expensive. With the rising costs of new game titles, the various deluxe editions that incentivize you with in-game goodies, and the abundance of micro-transactions, you’re often faced with a difficult decision: invest in quality hardware to play those new games or throw your money into games and play on a machine that’s a less than ideal experience. Luckily, that’s where we come in! We’re here to help you save money so you can stay within budget without sacrificing performance and get your game on.
This entry into Acer’s Nitro gaming laptop lineup packs a lot of bang for your buck into an even lower-cost package. Our expert reviewed a similar Acer Nitro V model with a lesser processor and GPU and called out the attractive price and lengthy battery life. Add to that a wide selection of ports, as physically, the models differ very little, and you can easily overlook the smallish (depending on your library) SSD because you can connect an external drive without juggling cables. The black plastic chassis won’t turn any heads, but what it lacks in form it makes up in function: Namely, 1080p gaming performance that will look sweet on the 15.6-inch, 144Hz display. Also included is a laptop sleeve (bonus) so you can protect your purchase, further driving home the value of the $300 savings.
