A gaming laptop with decent specifications can leave you with a $1,000 bill, and for budget gamers looking to snag the deal of a lifetime, that figure is on the steeper side of things. Fortunately, Amazon is running an incredible offer where you get an RTX 4050 paired with a capable CPU, all paired up in a portable package in the form of the Acer Nitro V. The 15.6-inch machine is currently going for $649.99 after a 17 percent discount, making it ideal for cash-conscious individuals who are not looking to spend outrageous sums but also want something that will not deliver a ‘lag fest’ experience.
The display of the Acer Nitro V supports up to 144Hz refresh rate and is an IPS LCD panel with a 1080p resolution. In short, the RTX 4050 will perform an excellent job when it comes to running e-sports titles, and even in AAA games, the graphics processor and its 6GB GDDR6 VRAM will hold its own with some upscaling thanks to NVIDIA’s DLSS 3.0. The CPU that works alongside the GPU is the Intel Core i5-13420H, sporting an 8-core, 12-thread configuration, along with a 12MB cache. Coming to the memory and storage, the Acer Nitro V ships with 8GB DDR5 RAM and 512GB PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSD.
Unfortunately, it is 2024 and we are heading into 2025, so games’ RAM and storage requirements have shot through the roof. Fortunately, the Acer Nitro V has an upgrade path for both, so we recommend that you nab yourself a Crucial 32GB SODIMM RAM kit that operates at 5,600MHz for just $89.99 on Amazon after a 18 percent. Additionally, you can install a 2TB Samsung 990 EVO SSD for $129.99 after a whopping 46 price cut. The storage bump ensures that you can install your favorite programs and games without running into those incessant ‘low space’ warnings.
Extras such as Wi-Fi 6, a backlit keyboard, a Thunderbolt 4 port, and a healthy I/O assortment pretty much means that you do not have to worry about wired or wireless compatibility problems, and for $649.99, the Acer Nitro V just screams budget-friendly.
