Wow didn't know last year's Nitro can now be speced with a 40 series gpu. That's a surprise. And btw Gizmo, can you spoil us, when are you gonna review this year's Helios 16 or 18?
I have 2 questions: 1.is there any screw coming from notebook for another m2 slot? If not how we will install there without screw? 2.Is m2 slot size universal? Any kind of nvme m2 suits there? Thanks for answer!
Hmmm, considering the msi cyborg and this if it ever get a release in my country. Will the 45watt on cyborg save battery ? Is there any advantage to having a lower tdp ?
I wonder how well the 4050 could load the textures in hogwarts legacy if Ray tracing was turned off? That might free enough memory to atleast get the low textures to properly load in
I just got this laptop a month ago. I haven't took it out the box yet. I got a question about the 2nd 2280 slot. Is it a gen 4 or gen 3 slot?
Is its rival asus tuf a15 2023 ( r7 7735hs / 140watt 4050 / 100%sRGB ) taken?
@GizmoSlipTech Can we undervolting in acer laptop?
Please review the msi sword 15 rtx 4050/4060
What's the battery life if you doing do web browsing and videos?
is there a way to change the keyboard color i don't like how it is
Please bring top 3 rtx 4070 laptops comparison and value for money like u did for rtx 4080
I got the 4050 version of the cyborg with 16GB of ram from Costco at $899, a great deal!! 👌🏼
Where ?
This sale is also on Walmart atm
Is it worth buying after use?
Is this a new model of nitro 5?
When will you review the acer predator 16 rtx 4060 i7-13700HX?
Still waiting for Asus Strix G16 4060 vs Zephyrus G16 4060 comparison. Then I will have a clear opinion to which one to buy.
Please, Hasee z8d6, make review🙏🏻 (4060 rtx, coast up to 900$)
Where is the test in Rainboiw Six Siege, bruh?
Why you never talk about the battery life in your review ?
Amazing job😯
Is g5 on 8gb ram?
This is the spec i have been searching for the perfect one
When will it come in India?
If the Nitro 5 can be offset undervolted it'll be a fantastic machine for it's price. That should knock the temps down a lot and maintain / gain some performance in the process.
You can manage the power consumption of CPU through Windows.
@@Witiok1992 That's not the same as undervolting 😊
@@JamieR but, works well for intels cpus
@@Witiok1992 it does not work well. it works, but not well, and definitely not as well as undervolting. Undervolting reduces temps while maintaining and in some cases increases performance.
I have difficulty in choosing between 4 laptops . 1: Acer nitro 5 rtx 3070ti. 12th gen i7. @ 88k 2: lenovo loq rtx 4060 i7 13th gen @ 97k 3: Hp omen ryzen 7 7840 HS rtx 4060 @105k rtx 3070ti @ 103k 4:asus tuf rtx 4060 i7 12th gen @ 98k Which one should i choose

why ? @@Canta_YT
A Steam Deck, it won't burn up in 6 months. And then just buy yourself a normal everyday laptop. Gaming laptops are a waste.
Man i hope acer release it on Indonesia
sama nih, kira2 kapan launch di indo ya? sekarang masih pake yg nitro 1060 tahun 2018
If you add a 2.5 inch go with an SSD don't waste your time or money on an HHD. Your computer will run cooler, quieter and way faster
how much quieter are the fans with it?
@@spoon1623 I didn't run a HDD I went directly to filling both M.2 with 1 TB each and a 2.5 SSD. Not a bad idea to re-paste the CPU and GPU to get the heat away. Unless I'm really working it hard there is no real difference in the fans tan without the 2.5.
@@bdb3350 thank you!
This has absolutely nothing to do with your video, but I finally figured it out. I have been watching your channel for a few years and always thought you look like somebody, but couldn't put my finger on it. Now I know. A young Harrison Ford! Just watch Star Wars from 1977. "Ancient religions and superstitions are no match for a good blaster.". It is a spitting image. I don't think you were even born when that movie was released, he was probably 40 and your hair is lighter, but otherwise. 😀
I got the nitro 5 with i7 12650 and the 4050 with 16gb of ram and 1tb in walmart for 964$ with taxes
How laptop?
so this new nitro 5 can really take core clock GPU OC ??? not many laptop can do this
Wdym lol alot of laptops can still do
@@Eleganttf2 you can use slider but max clock won't change
Will this be available on Indian market!!!!!
same laptop with i7 12650 available in flipkart at sell!!

When Acer nitro 16 is going to launch?
in Q2, acer said it was going to be around May for america, europe etc but there is a preorder in australia rn for april (unless it was an april fools) the ryzen 7 with 4050 for 2,200 aud
@@shikikanaz4624 2,200 AUD close to 1,500 USD I think it's not cheap price

Predator Helios?
Yes .. I am so excited about this laptop🥹♥️
@@boody9871 me too
What about new design?! .. this is the design of 2022 .. what about 2023 design?!
2023 design is 2022 design
@@agumon1605 no bro .. search about (nitro 5 2023).. and you will see the difference in design 🙏🏼
@@boody9871 it's not Nitro 5 it's Nitro 16 which has new design
@@Fightwithshadow4 Yes, exactly.
Rtx 3060 or rtx 4050 laptop 🤔🤔🤔🤔 please anyone
I think 4050 is a better option considering dlss 3 and frame generation of course there will be some micro stutters and quality issue but i really think its best to choose the new hardware, btw still 6gb is way too low Vram for both of these gpu. If you dont want frame generation and by chance if yiu get a good deal on 3060 with min 95 tgp then go for it
@@abdulgafoor8586 thanks bro
That was 2022 bro
The Asus TUF a16 advantage edition is objectively way better than this laptop. Screen: The TUF has way better color accuracy, has faster refresh rate, brighter display, 16:10 aspect ratio. Ports: The TUF has 1 more extra type-C port. Plus the fact that this Nitro 5's display port only connects to the iGPU limits the performance when connected to an external monitor. Some monitors only allow overclocking when using display port to activate higher refresh rates. Battery life: we don't even have to talk about this. The TUF has longer battery life. Graphics: The 7600s on the TUF has 8gb RAM which solves the vram issues you might encounter in some games. It also performs better at traditional rasterized games. The only advantage of the 4050 right now is frame-generation and a more matured ray tracing support. Fans: Those fans at full blast can be obnoxious. I had a 2022 ACER predator helios 300 with the same fans and predator sense settings and all I can say is, I can only use its full power settings when I'm inside my room. I tried to game on it at full blast with some of my colleagues and they thought that my laptop was broken. That's how bad the noise is. The only advantages of this laptop are negated by the trade-offs you make. For example, it's ideal to use Nvidia cards for professional workloads as it usually has better support and typically performs better but if you're using this laptop for let's say adobe or video editing, the screen's color accuracy is bad. The only way to circumvent this is by using an external monitor. Another advantage is the temps. As clearly shown on your video, the fans does a great job at keeping those temps in check at the expense of too much noise.
sRGB 63%( = ntsc 45% ) is not acceptable for almost $1000 laptop.
It is a trade off a lot of gamers would be willing to make to get the performance boost of RTX 4000 series and frame gen, but I do agree it is not ideal.
Buy an Acer Chromebook, and an Xbox Series X, and almost a PS5 for the same price, or close. Gaming laptops, do NOT last. Especially Acer, whom I use to love.
I have had my Acer Nitro 5 with GTX 1050 since 2016 and until now the only thing I have changed is the thermal paste. It still works for me like the first time I used it, Acer is the best brand for laptops, the best of the best.
@@luisguillermo1887 I agree to an extent, but mainly because I use to use their desktops for 27 years, only had 3 in that time. The quality on this model MIGHT be an exception. Though I don't plan on gaming on it. Just productivity.
2nd pin me pls
