Acer Nitro V 16 AI 16” WUXGA IPS 180Hz Gaming Laptop, AMD Ryzen AI 5 240 Processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 with 8GB GDDR7 VRAM, 16GB RAM, 512GB PCIe Gen 4 SSD, Obsidian Black

Solid Gaming Laptop can play everything i play with good fps. Ram is single channel bought another 16gb chip that i can use discord without the laptop freezing on me (discord eats ram) - BLACK SCREEN FIX Nvidia dropped bad drivers around the time this went on sale. Roll back to the previous driver offered on their website and the black screen should go away. (Second to newest one) see my attached photo. If this helps, thumbs up so others can see!

I picked this up at the beginning of November, when it dropped to just $629 and wow, I am thoroughly impressed. The RTX 5050 punches way above its weight class and with the added 2GB of VRAM (8 total) vs the last generation 50 series, it's probably the best leap in the whole Nvidia stack. I have been running a bunch of benchmarks and helping out a friend's channel (GoodTalkHQ) on YouTube. It's an impressive laptop as long as you realize the charger is only 135W and in 2 of the 4 power profiles, the laptop will send more power to the components than what the charger can provide, this will cause some battery drain while gaming even while plugged in. If you keep the laptop in the balanced power mode though, you lose only a little performance wise, and the battery drain issue is resolved. Check out GoodTalkHQ on YouTube to see how the laptop performs in modern more demanding games!

In short, a great performance/gaming computer at a steal of a price. The long version; I purchased this as a black friday deal for $630 with the Ryzen 5 240 and RTX 5050 with 16gb RAM and 512gb SSD. I've used Acer's before and haven't been thrilled but needed to replace my previous HP laptop due to damage. This computer fit the bill, and I wanted an RTX 50 series if I'm buying new anyways. I replaced the SSD with a 2TB and it has a second slot on the motherboard for an additional SSD. Acer was smart and also gave a single 16gb stick of DDR5, allowing users to upgrade without replacing the existing stick. I already had 32gb of DDR5 so I put it in with no issues. The screen is 180hz, personally overkill for me since I'm fine with 120 in a 1080p laptop screen, but you are unable to change to any refresh besides 180 or 60. It would be nice to have the other options. It has more than enough ports and connectivity, and I'm a big fan of keeping a microsd card slot even if most people don't need that nowadays. Regarding power, the AC port is on the back of the computer instead of the side which I'm a big fan of. Even though it's a standard Acer barrel tip on the adapter, it gives a good "click" when inserted and stays put. This specific model has type-C charging, however with a 100w charger it won't charge above 65w. I'm unsure if this is because it needs a higher wattage adapter for type C or if it is limited to 65w, but it will still charge on type C assuming you're not running any games or anything too intense and will let you know it is slow charging with the type C. No specs that I could find say the max type c charging rate. Included in the box is a 135w AC power adapter. I tested a 180w Acer power adapter, and it still unfortunately pulls 135w which means it is capped at that for the AC input. This leads to the only con I have had so far with the laptop being that the battery will slowly discharge when gaming, at about 10% an hour. This might be a consideration for people that will use this computer for extended gaming sessions while plugged in. I believe it won't have issues if the battery dies while gaming, after testing with no battery it still seems to work fine giving great performance in demanding titles, but with no battery - or if the battery is below 40% it will no longer allow you to use the performance or turbo mode. Again not too big of an issue but consider this if it's going to be your impromptu "gaming desktop". I believe this could be fixed with BIOS updates in the future but I'm wary that will happen. The Acer Nitrosense software works well, and doesn't give any unwanted features or bloat. It's simple and to the point not using a lot of resources which I appreciate. The keyboard feels fine and I have no complaints besides the orange backlight, I think I'd prefer white if you're limited to one color, but this isn't a deal breaker and just part of the experience. I'd post a longer review, but I hit the character limit... :/

Really good laptop for the price, the performance is solid and the screen looks great once everything is set up. You do have to update the graphics and CPU drivers though because out of the box some people get screen flickering. That's just a driver issue not hardware. After updates it runs perfectly.

I really love it! It's my first gaming laptop. I only had an ipad, but I needed something that could handle high graphic games. It did take me 40 minutes to turn on. At first, I thought it wouldn't work, so I kept plugging and unplugging the charger along with keeping my hand on the power button until it eventually did turn on. I've only had it for a day and downloaded wuwa and Infinity nikki, but both games are super smooth and high quality!!

Very Halloween Like Theme. Glowing Orange Keys on Black Cased Laptop. Easy to open to modify. Power Cord in Back out of the Way. USB-C port in back also. Can actually be used on your lap without too much discomfort. Screen nice and bright.

Fast. Inexpensive. Quality. Upgradable.

Hi ,Delivered on 08/11/2025 , on same day setup is completed , we do see some glitch happened and screen turned to black screen and then struggled to restart the machine . let me know how can we rectify it?

I picked Nov. 26th. 2025 for delivery on Walmart.com, somehow got a notice that laptop to arrive in the middle of my class early today which is Nov. 25, 2025. While Walmart requested me to sign for accepting the delivery. I had to rush back to the apartment from campus. And, laptop-wise, the setup is not smooth at all. No response from keyboard in the middle of window / micorsoft account setup process. Had to call acer support for help............

Worst laptop ever. My laptop shuts down unexpectedly and constantly shows errors about missing internal hardware. I attempted a factory reset, but it failed because the system could not detect the required hardware. This makes the laptop unusable. The seller is not reliable, and I would not recommend buying from them.
