NVIDIA’s RTX 4050 GPU running in gaming laptops is an excellent baseline for budget-oriented customers to get a feel of how these machines perform. Best of all, this graphics processor supports exclusive technologies such as DLSS 3.0 and Frame Generation, both of which are designed to improve image quality and increase your framerate. This exact GPU is found in the Acer Nitro V, which is now 17 percent off on Amazon and can be yours for $649.99. At this price, it is a miracle that you can get an RTX 3050 gaming laptop, so consider yourself lucky.
The display of the machine is a 15.6-inch 1080p IPS LCS with a 144Hz refresh rate, and the RTX 4050 with 6GB of GDDR6 VRAM is paired with an Intel Core i5-13420H CPU, sporting 8 cores and 12 threads. Perhaps the only compromise you have to make is that the Nitro V comes with a single 8GB DDR5 SODIMM stick, along with a 512GB PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSD. Now, the obvious recommendation that you will receive from others is to add another 8GB SODIMM stick to the configuration. However, we advise you to get a 32GB RAM kit, and it just so happens that Amazon is selling one from Crucial, and can be yours for $75.99 after a 16 percent discount.
There is also a vacant M.2 slot that you can expand down the road with an additional solid-state drive, but if you have the budget for it right now, we recommend getting the WD_BLACK SN770 2TB PCIe NVMe Gen 4 drive, which is currently discounted by 25 percent and listed for $120.23. Other than that, you get a Thunderbolt 4 port that is a part of the I/O, along with a Wi-Fi 6 adapter that delivers unrivaled wireless networking performance. The budget gamer will genuinely appreciate this deal, but we will not advise them to wait any longer and take advantage of this offer quickly.
