Another deal from Bing Lee, pretty nice for a 4050, again not too sure about the TDP or screen but I'd assume it'd be passable for a gaming laptop. Great specs, good price.

      not exactly portable. 2.5kg too. I'd have to ask why these are being purchased instead of a desktop considering they'll likely never leave a desk.

        Might not be as portable as a traditional laptop but it is certainly more portable than a desktop, montor, keyboard and mouse + cables.

        I move mine everywhere, I got a Dell G5 for that very reason. I don't have any set place or space for that matter for a desktop set-up, I wouldn't consider myself a full on gamer but I needed a computer that was somewhat capable of the games I do play as well as having something for general use.

        Look man, when my girlfriend kicks me out of the house, I still need to game.

        For real though, that is the general use case of these things. People with seperated parents, or need the horse power in the field, or are in deployment, or work fifo, etc.

        Plus, portable battery exist for a reason.

      • OZKap on 12/08/2023 - 06:29

        Laptop + charger + mouse fits just fine in a laptop bag or backpack.

      You wouldn't really wanna game on battery mate. I'd say normal usage for office works would last you a good 3-3.5hrs or even more. Gaming wise just plug it in and treat it like a portable PC really.

    https://www.acer.com/au-en/laptops/nitro/nitro-5/pdp/NH.QLZS…

    According to Acer's website the TDP for this one is "up to 140W", which is pretty impressive if true.

    • Bertus on 11/08/2023 - 12:55

      yeah if i needed a laptop right now and had this budget this would be the one.. my 3060 is 140w and is awesome

      • Brrrrt on 11/08/2023 - 13:46
        +3

        heads up mate, low end 40 gen doesnt work the same way 30 gen does, performance scaling past 100w is nonexistent for 4070 and below cards - and they cant even boost past 100w in the first because because nvidia hardcapped the voltage on them

    • Brrrrt on 11/08/2023 - 13:45
      +2

      just false advertising as per the usual. these low end 40 gen can not run past 100w because you are capped by the voltage limitation set by nvidia

    • Psivewri on 15/08/2023 - 10:58

      The 3050 model has a 95W TDP. I'd assume the 4050 is similar. Can anyone find anywhere that confirms this?

  • Pacify on 11/08/2023 - 13:40

    The previous model Nitro 5 I bought for $1100 with a 3060 was decent, but the difference between it and a Legion 5 is pretty stark as far as thermals go. Stopping the CPU from sitting at 90c was a constant battle on the nitro.

    But the Legion was almost double the price, so yeah

  • jayjay1980 on 11/08/2023 - 13:58

    Acer Nitro are usually good pricing for the hardware specs. I was tempted to buy it numerous times when I want to do some gaming.

    However, in the end I built myself a gaming desktop as realistically I won't be moving it away from my table. The price and performance is better.

    If I wanted portability then I would purchase Steam deck, Asus ROG Ally, Switch etc.

  • Wonderfool on 11/08/2023 - 16:54

    The price is so good for these things, but I've always wondered longevity of Nitro devices. I know of a few people who owns them and they replace them often, once every 2 or 3 years.

      Got mine for 2 years and the screen is starting to go black now and then, will not last much longer, even when I've been extra careful with it. Won't be buying Acer again despite the price

    • the1doood on 16/08/2023 - 09:06

      I own one with 1060, still works well after 3 years. Quality wise Nitro series are on lowest tier which is reflected in price.

  • paulaus on 12/08/2023 - 09:45

    So is the 4050 worth buying over the 3050 and is the ram 1x16 or 2x8 in this thanks.

    • Psivewri on 15/08/2023 - 10:55

      Going from 4GB to 6GB of VRAM is pretty good. The 4050 is definitely a jump in performance as well

  • paulaus on 12/08/2023 - 20:14

    Went and looked at this at Harvey Norman and asked the salesman if it was 1x16 or 2x8 ram and he said 1x16 and he reckons its ddr5.

        That is interesting as I have been looking at this laptop on their ebay page. I last checked about 12hrs ago and there was 10 in stock according to ebay and delivery was an option. Right now I noticed they have 0 in stock. Disappointing.
