Acer Nitro V Gaming Laptop | Intel Core i5-13420H Processor | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU | 15.6″ FHD IPS 165Hz Display | 8GB DDR5 | 512GB Gen 4 SSD | Wi-Fi 6 | Backlit KB | ANV15-52-586Z 1111Capitals.com: Computers

I’ve been using this computer for a while now, it works very well, but there are times when it stutters, the FPS drops to 0, which usually takes less than 1 second, but it’s still very annoying. The screen’s 165Hz refresh rate is spectacular, but I did an online test and I’m almost certain it has ghosting, which is also quite annoying. Also it’s a bit slow when performing various tasks, such as opening the browser or simply changing categories on Steam.I’m going to add more RAM since the 8GB it has doesn’t seem enough to me; I even think that might be the root of the problem I mentioned. So, I’ll try to upgrade to 32GB of RAM.But despite all of the above, it’s still a very good computer. I like that it comes with the Nitro Sense application and also with Intel’s graphics software, since it allows for some customization. The camera looks good and works smoothly in good lighting, but the computer doesn’t have anything to cover the camera.You have 3 fan options: silent, balanced, and performance. Expect a lot of noise from the fan in performance mode. Also, another bad thing is that when I connected my headphones with a built-in microphone, the computer only recognized it as audio output, not as both audio input and output, so I had a lot of problems with that. I even had to restart my PC in safe mode to reset everything because I had no sound anymore, so be careful with that, If you experience the same issue, simply open the Realtek Audio Console application, then go to advanced device settings and program it as an input and output.So I think it’s a very good computer. You have to do a couple of things beforehand to be ready to use it for gaming or anything like that, but I don’t think I’ll be changing it for a long time. Just add more RAM and you’ll probably be good to go. I’ll update this review when I add more RAM to let you know if there are any changes to the stuttering.So my final thoughts on this laptop are that I wish it were more of a turn-on, ready-to-use thing, but I guess you can’t expect that at this price. Despite that, I give it 5 stars

Performance: This thing eases through all the games you practically throw at it UNLESS you want highest quality on the LATEST AAA game. You also get frame generation with the nice gpu inside there(4050).Quality, Speed, Brightness: The quality of a laptop at this price point is not something you find everyday, I also love the glossy look on the front panel. The brightness is really really high so no issues here. The speed , well you really need to upgrade this thing to 16gb for 100% usage. It’s absolutely worth it to do it yourself, you will feel incredible for the amount of money you save. Just buy another DDR5 8gb 5200MHZ and install it and you are set for everything really.Issues: Not so much of big issues, just new computer stuff like Driver issues where a usb might bug or something similar. Just update the laptop as soon as you get it.Battery: battery on a gaming laptop has never been good so always carry your charger.All in all, good investment for your gaming hobbies. Just install your ram and carry your charger when moving.

Overall a Solid Gaming Laptop for the price. Only real critique or advice I can give for future buyers, is that you should upgrade the ram asap! It comes stock with 8 Gigabytes, which in 2026 is considered relatively low especially by Gaming Laptop Standards. I noticed that on Idle, Windows 11 was utilizing almost 75% or about 6 Gigs on the home screen, and when trying to play anything the performance really suffered because of the lack of it. After upgrading to 32 Gigabytes the performance difference is night and day! If you plan on purchasing this laptop, I’d reccomend upgrading to at least 16 Gigabytes or higher to unlock it’s full potential.

Everything was perfect. The laptop is working very well, and I didn’t have any problem with shipping. I fell for a few scams recently and was afraid to buy this laptop, but everything worked out fine. The company is reliable and the service was very good for me. The laptop is working really well, I can play my favorite games, do my college projects and do my Instagram posts without problems.

Estoy muy satisfecho con esta laptop Acer. Desde que la tengo, he podido ejecutar tareas que antes simplemente no podía o que se tardaban demasiado en completarse. A pesar de venir de fábrica con solo 8 GB de RAM, el rendimiento ha sido sorprendentemente bueno: puedo mantener abiertos Android Studio, el emulador, el navegador, música en segundo plano y otras aplicaciones sin que el sistema se vuelva lento o inestable.En cuanto a juegos, no he tenido mayores quejas. El rendimiento es sólido y estable; el único inconveniente ha sido algunos problemas de drivers con la tarjeta gráfica, especialmente en títulos como Call of Duty, pero fuera de eso la experiencia ha sido muy buena.Un punto muy destacable es el manejo de temperaturas. Incluso en sesiones largas de uso, las temperaturas generalmente no superan los 70 °C, lo cual habla bien del sistema de refrigeración. Eso sí, cuando se ejecutan juegos o programas realmente exigentes, la laptop sí comienza a calentarse más y es recomendable activar la velocidad máxima de los ventiladores. Esta velocidad se puede regular manualmente, pero el principal punto negativo aquí es que, en modo de alto rendimiento, la laptop se vuelve bastante ruidosa. Aun así, en modo equilibrado rinde muy bien y el ruido es mucho más tolerable.En el apartado de diseño, hay detalles que pueden ser subjetivos. El teclado es retroiluminado, pero no es RGB, solo cuenta con una iluminación naranja fija que no se puede personalizar. Además, el diseño general es bastante discreto, no tiene una estética gamer marcada y fácilmente puede pasar por una laptop de oficina, algo que a algunos les gustará y a otros no tanto.Sobre la gráfica, esta versión cuenta con una potencia de hasta 70 W, y aunque en papel suena inferior frente a otros modelos de otras marcas que llegan a 110 W o 120 W, en la práctica no se siente una diferencia tan grande. El rendimiento es más que correcto para el uso real.Finalmente, el único deseo que queda es que viniera de stock con 16 GB de RAM. Al ser DDR5, actualizar desde 8 GB a 16 GB hoy en día es complicado y costoso, más aún considerando que la RAM es de 5600 MHz (aunque trabaja a 5200 MHz).En resumen, por el precio en oferta de $571, esta laptop ofrece un rendimiento excelente, buena estabilidad térmica y una experiencia muy completa tanto para productividad como para juegos. Tiene algunos detalles mejorables, pero la relación precio–rendimiento es muy difícil de igualar
