Acer recently announced a new gaming laptop with the latest AMD chipset and NVIDIA discrete graphics card. This new laptop, Acer Nitro V 16, is set to ship in the first quarter of next year. Let’s look deeper at the Acer Nitro V 16, and discuss its full specs, features, expected price in Nepal, availability, and more!
Acer Nitro V 16 (ANV16-41) Overview
Design and Display
The Acer Nitro V 16 comes in a similar design to its other Nitro V 15 siblings. It features the company logo on the centre of the lid and vents under the hinge. Meanwhile, it also comes with an RGB backlit keyboard with a numpad on the front.
In terms of display, Acer is giving us two options to choose from i.e. WQXGA or WUXGA. Either way, it will be a 16-inch screen with a 165Hz refresh rate measuring a response time of 3ms. Acer has not mentioned the type of panel this laptop will feature. However, from our experience with gaming laptops, we assume it to be an IPS LCD panel.
Performance
Under the hood, Acer Nitro V 16 will boast the latest AMD 8040 series of processors. It is the first adopter of this series of SoC, as it was announced on the same day! This laptop will ship with a CPU of up to AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS. In the meantime, it will be assisted by an NVIDIA GeForce graphics card of up to RTX 4060.
Furthermore, the Acer Nitro V 16 (ANV16-41) will also feature a DDR5 RAM of up to 32 GB clocking in at 5,600 MHz. Similarly, it will also have up to 2 TB of PCIe 4.0 SSD storage. Moreover, a dual-fan cooling system helps this laptop keep cool while providing optimum performance. It will ship with Windows 11 out of the box on the software front.
How is the AMD 8040 series anyway?
The AMD 8040 series retains identical core counts, clock speeds, cache size, and other key aspects to its predecessor, the 7040 series. The only upgrade the latest AMD CPUs offer is a dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU). This unit oversees all aspects of AI, including tasks like AI upscaling during gaming. At the same time, it is likely to contribute to additional AI capabilities such as Acer PurifiedView and Acer PurifiedVoice, smoothening activities like streaming, video chatting, and noise cancellation.
