Nitro V to bolster Acer's gaming laptop portfolio

Acer hit us with a blowout batch of technology news as part of CES. One such announcement revolves around the company's gaming laptop portfolio, which is being enhanced with a new range known as the Nitro V.

This range will come in four size variants, with these increasing from 14" all the way to 17". They will be powered by the latest processors, be it an Intel Core 7 for the regular model or an AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 for Nitro V AI models. Regardless of the model, we can also expect an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 laptop GPU under the hood that supports DLSS 3.5 and Ray-Tracing, plus 32GB of memory and up to 2TB of storage as well.

In regard to the displays and what they offer, each model is slightly different. You can see a summary below:
