Acer Nitro V 15
A weirdly well-specced gaming notebook
YOU KNOW WHAT’S AMAZING in 2025? The fact that even now, we have so many laptops that are massively mismatched. Not from a competitive level, but rather from a pure hardware level. We’ve tested an absolute ton of gaming laptops over these hallowed pages in the last 12 months, and without a shadow of a doubt, the biggest problem they all have is that the graphics card in particular doesn’t match the screen. It just doesn’t. Let’s list the ones that this journalist has personally looked at: Acer Predator Helios Neo 14, RTX 4060 120W, 3,072x1920 @ 165 Hz screen. Acer Nitro 14, RTX 4060 100W 2560x1600 120 Hz display. Lenovo Legion Slim 5, RTX 4060 2880x1800 120 Hz OLED panel. You get the idea —at the $1,000-$2,000 price bracket, apparently everything is purely mismatched.
