If you’re looking to pick up an affordable yet powerful gaming laptop, you’ve come to the right place. Acer’s Nitro 5 laptop is on sale for $999.99 at Adorama today, which is a savings of $400. This machine features an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 GPU and a spacious 15.6-inch display. In other words, you can expect smooth performance as well as beautiful visuals. Not bad for $400 off, yeah? The rest of the hardware is pretty good, too. Let’s get into it.
The Acer Nitro 5 has an Intel Core Intel i7-12650H CPU, the aforementioned RTX 4060 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of SSD storage. You should be able to run most modern games on the Medium or High graphics settings. However, for faster-paced titles, we’d recommend dialing the graphics back a bit. The 15.6-inch display has a resolution of 1920×1080 and a refresh rate of 165Hz. As for connectivity options, you’re getting one HDMI, one USB-A Gen 1, two USB-A Gen 2, one USB-C Gen 2, and one RJ-45.
This is a really good deal, but I don’t expect it to last much longer. Get it now while you can.
