The Acer Nitro 5 AN515-45-R6SV against the competition
The Acer Nitro 5 AN515-45-R6SV is currently available at Cybertek and GrosBill. He positions himself in the average in its category where it is one of the only ones to work under Windows 11.
If this Acer Nitro 5 AN515-45-R6SV does not meet all your criteria, you will find on our guide PC portable gamer other configurations to play with a similar budget. For the same budget, choose the model with the most powerful graphics card, it will have the most impact on performance.
Chassis, connectors, screen of the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-45-R6SV
Cooled by 2 fans, heat pipes and 4 air vents, this versatile multimedia laptop sports a resolutely gamer look with its black design with angular lines.
The connectivity integrated into this creator-oriented gaming laptop is good, including 1 USB-C, Bluetooth 5.1 wireless modules and Wi-Fi ax (more efficient and recent than Wi-Fi ac) to communicate and connect remotely, a practical HDMI video output to easily connect this computer to a TV or a monitor for example, Ethernet and audio ports without forgetting 3 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers made up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if you connect USB 3.0 peripherals.
The chiclet keyboard is of course adorned with a practical backlighting solution to better distinguish them in a dimly lit environment.
With its 144Hz frequency, the screen enhances fluidity in games compared to the 60Hz standard in order to appeal to players. It also lends itself very well to the display of High Definition content such as videos due to its Full HD definition and its 16: 9 format. As it is anti-reflective, the screen also offers better visibility than a glossy panel in a bright environment (eg outdoors). Thanks to its IPS technology, the screen also has significant viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically.
Performance, autonomy of the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-45-R6SV
The Acer Nitro 5 AN515-45-R6SV is aimed at those who wish to acquire a versatile 15-inch high-performance laptop PC oriented towards creation and gaming.
Whether with the Iris Xe graphics solution integrated into the processor or the dedicated GeForce RTX 3050 card, you can obviously watch photos and videos on this versatile multimedia laptop equipped with NVIDIA Optimus technology.
Optimus switches in practice automatically and in real time between the Radeon Vega 7 and the GeForce RTX 3050 when necessary. The first is preferred to the maximum despite its modest benefits because its reduced energy consumption promotes autonomy compared to the GeForce RTX 3050.
In terms of autonomy, expect about 5 hours of battery operation in light use.
Thanks to the GeForce RTX 3050, which is more powerful and greedy than the Radeon Vega 7, it is possible to run a number of games with concessions under titles requiring graphics resources to obtain good fluidity.
As a bonus, the GeForce RTX 3060 speeds up processing under software that takes advantage of GPU computing power, such as Sony Vegas or Adobe Photoshop / Premiere, which will be of interest to creative people.
They will also appreciate that the AMD APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) processor Cezanne Hexa Core Ryzen 5 5600H provides faster processing than a Quad Core, the difference being particularly noticeable in areas requiring CPU resources taking advantage of multicore, such as photo editing or video editing.
Coupled with 8 GB of RAM, the Ryzen 5 5600H Cezanne delivers in any case solid general performance capable of satisfying many users.
If the contribution of the Hexa Core is certainly variable in games currently compared to a Quad Core, the fact remains that this core supports the GeForce RTX 3050 well in games.
SSD storage significantly improves responsiveness and fluidity on a daily basis compared to a simple hard drive. Because an SSD offers several advantages: greater resistance to shocks, silent operation, lower energy consumption and greater velocity.
In concrete terms, thanks to the SSD, processing is much faster than with a hard drive, as are the launches of software/games and starts/stops, and we can, for example, get to online game cards faster.
It is a 512 GB SSD that we find here integrated, capacity in line with what hard drives offer as standard. But of course if you need more space, you can use a USB-C / USB 3.0 device to enjoy fast transfers.
Finally, in the event of heavy stress (eg: treatments, games), this versatile laptop PC designed for playing and creating is heard and heats up, however at controlled levels.
One ventilated support can be used as needed to limit temperatures (In this case, remember to check the dimensions carefully!.
