A decent amount of power at a brilliant price
Surprisingly robust 1080p at 165Hz performance ; All configurations have 165Hz refresh rate ; Solid keyboard with RGB backlighting ; Affordable pricing
Has that budget gaming look ; A bit bulky ; Webcam only 720p
The Acer Nitro 16 AMD is not the prettiest gaming laptop out there – it’s a bit bulky as well – but it delivers competent performance even with a 165Hz refresh rate. It’s also on the affordable side of the gaming laptop spectrum. You won’t be wowed by...

The Nitro 16 delivers commendable features and performance for under $1,000.
Expert review by : Matt Elliott (cnet.com.au)
With a roomy 16-inch, 16:10 display that's surprisingly bright and vibrant and powered by a full-octane RTX 4050 GPU, the Nitro 16 delivers the goods for gamers on tight budgets.
Strong overall performance ; Roomy and bright 16-inch, 16:10 display ; Decent battery life ; Plenty of ports, including USB 4
Bulky and heavy ; Grainy 720p webcam ; Underpowered speakers

The Acer Nitro 16 (AN16-42) is a true gaming device with almost zero compromises. The big thermal system cools well the processor and the graphics card – their temperatures under load are low while the frequencies are high. Also, the keyboard gets just...
Great performance ; Covers 100% of the sRGB color gamut and has accurate colors with our “Design and Gaming” profile (AUOCDAB) ; 165Hz refresh rate + wide viewing angles (AUOCDAB) ; No PWM (AUOCDAB) ; Very high max brightness of 548 nits (CSW1437) ;...
The lid could’ve been more stable ; Slow USB 2.0 port on the left side
