It features a vibrant 14-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600) 120Hz display, up to an AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS 8-core CPU with Ryzen AI, and up to 32GB of RAM. For handling graphics-intensive tasks from gaming to 3D rendering, it may be configured with up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 GPU. Prospective Acer Nitro 15 adopters will benefit immensely from Nvidia’s RTX AI suite of capabilities for computing, gaming, and accelerations. What’s more, RTX Video offers AI upscaling and HDR quality for a stunning visual experience. Acer engineers outfitted the Acer Nitro 14 with two fans with Vortex Flow to keep the laptop cool. This aptly named cooling system creates an aerodynamic flow as it continuously pulls air into the laptop from all around the fans. Simply put, it keeps the processor, graphics card, and other important internal hardware cool. The Acer Nitro 14 will be available starting at $1,299 in the U.S. in May.(Image credit: Acer)Acer Nitro 16 AMDThe Acer Nitro 16 is for anyone who likes to game and work on a big screen laptop. It packs a 16-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600) 500-nit 165Hz display and up to an AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS octa-core CPU with up to 32GB of RAM. Thoughtfully designed to provide nothing short of high computing performance, Copilot in Windows helps users level up their creativity and productivity tasks. What’s more Acer’s nifty AI tools, Acer PurifiedVoice 2.0 and Acer PurifiedView enhance video-conferencing by reducing background noise and automatically keeps users in the webcam’s frame. Big laptops that are big on performance tend to generate a lot of heat during use. That’s why Acer design engineers incorporated a dual fan, quad-intake, and quad-exhaust system into this Nitro 16’s internals. While this advanced cooling technique circulates air, liquid metal thermal grease assists with heat transfer to keep the Nitro 16 chugging along well with no performance hiccups. The Acer Nitro 16 (AN16-43) will be available in the U.S,. in May at a starting price of $1,399.99
