The right plan
Whether it is to play or to work on demanding software, there are a few criteria to watch out for before choosing your laptop. The CPU, RAM and graphics card are the main ones, giving a good indicator of the power of the machine.
In the case of this Acer Nitro 5, the player is spoiled by high-performance components. At the processor level, there is a chip Ryzen 7 5800H endowed with 8 hearts and of 16 threads. The graphic part is entrusted to a chip RTX-3070 from Nvidia, one of the best for laptops. We find a comfortable amount of 16 GB of RAM to ensure zero-latency operation.
In terms of storage, we have the right to a combo SSD + HDD with a respective capacity of 256 GB and 1TB to ensure the ideal compromise between capacity and speed. The whole takes place in a proven chassis from Acer, the Nitro 5, able to effectively dissipate the watts of this muscular setup. The display is for its part entrusted to a screen of 15.6 inch 144Hz, the best way to enjoy competitive games in perfect fluidity.
At the moment, Fnac is offering a great offer on this gaming laptop model. We then take advantage of a 40% reduction on this computer, increasing its price from €2099.99 to €1299.99, an excellent price for such a configuration.
What alternative?
With this quality/price ratio, it is difficult to find better than this Acer Nitro 5. But Fnac has not finished surprising us by drawing another offer on the same PC but this time with a slightly different configuration.
The major difference lies in the presence of a processor Intel Core i7 11800H instead of the Ryzen 7 chip. The SSD + HDD combo is replaced by a single SSD of 512 GB. For the rest, the two machines are strictly identical, based on the same chip RTX-3070, the same screen Full HD 144Hz as well as the same chassis.
If you prefer to opt for a more classic configuration Intel+Nvidia, this model will be perfect, especially since its price is even lower. Instead of the €1829.99 usually required, this promotion raises its price to €1199.99. An ideal position to afford maximum power without breaking the bank.
