Most gaming laptops with RTX 4050 graphics cost anywhere from $800 to $1,000, but the Acer Nitro V breaks the mold. It’s currently $649.99 on Amazon, which is $150 off the original $799.99 price. It’s an exclusive Prime Day deal, so make sure you’ve got an Amazon Prime subscription to access it.
The RTX 4050 card is a step up from the older RTX 3050, and it supports DLSS 3 (to boost your FPS) and ray tracing for more realistic-looking lighting effects. You should be able to play most modern games at 1080p on the high settings without issue.Â
The Nitro V also comes loaded with 8GB of DDR5 RAM and 512GB of SSD storage. 8GB isn’t a ton of memory, but the good news is that you can upgrade it later on if need be.
Last but not least, the 15.6-inch 1080p display boasts a 144Hz refresh rate. This gives you smoother motion in action-packed games.
For this price, you’re getting a fantastic value for entry-level gaming. Don’t miss out.
