It’s been a while since I saw an RTX4050 laptop around $1000 so just thought to share in in case anyone out there is looking for one.
Edit: here is a fairly detailed review of an Acer Nitro V 4050 by JarrodsTech on YT (not sure if it is exactly the same model but should be very similar): https://youtu.be/o6lWCM6lUaQ?si=H2i75wcWfGscTciN
Wow amd with tb4??
Is this good? I can get TRS on this
Added a detailed review link in description, if you’re travelling before Black Friday and Boxing Day deals in November /December this should be a good deal.
hey OP that's not the same model, worth pointing out that a big difference is the quality of the display. that youtube review from Jarrod you linked shows 61% SRGB and 300 nits, this Acer Nitro V 16 is >= 300 nits and 100% SRGB, see the review i posted in my other comment
I mentioned in the description it might not be exact same model but similar
USB 4
Up to 4.5 hours battery.
Is this the norm with gaming laptops? It's a good price but I do need more battery life than that.
i heard amd is good with battery but im no expert
It's not going to be anywhere near 4.5 hours when you're playing the latest games.
For non-arm laptops, especially gaming laptops I think 6-7hrs is considered pretty good AFAIR. Added a detailed review video link with battery comparison in the description.
That being said you won’t be playing any heavy AAA gaming while any gaming laptop is running on battery (fps drops heavily when GPU is limited to battery power)
1000% agree, ive got a gaming laptop and it pulls maximum watts from the brick and also pulls from the battery!
After a good gaming session my laptop is flat! 🤣
I'm not sure where OW is getting 4.5hrs battery, because it's not even Acer's official numbers. Acer is quoting 7hrs on a 59wH battery.
here's a fairly positive review: https://laptopmedia.com/au/review/acer-nitro-v-16-anv16-41-r…
USB 4, G-Sync, HDMI 2.1, good display (100% SRGB, 165hz, G-sync optimus, 16:10 aspect ratio), looks like a good deal
don't confuse this with other similar name models like Nitro 16 and Nitro V
but note that there's 2 bad reviews on the Ryzen 7 version of this laptop warning about bad firmware: https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/acer-nitro…
@k2k8k5 on your link, it says
40 Gbps USB4 port with DisplayPort and 65W charging capabilities
is that correct/possible to charge this with 65w charger?
yes. see page 18 of the manual
https://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/Document/User%20Man…

Hmm i feel the officework is better
I agree.
I prefer AMD and 1920 by 1200 is nice.
I would stay away from Intel 13th and 14th gen CPUs, due to issues with them slowly dying. Intel won't give a straight answer regarding laptops. But leaks indicate that laptops are also affected in addition to desktop.
https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/dev-reports-…
wow truly shocked !
Isn't that issue reported for desktop/server level high powered, overclocked CPUs?
The official stance is that it effects all 13th and 14th gen desktop CPUs from 65w and up.
Unfortunately Intel won't confirm or deny an issue with 13th and 14th gen mobile. They just say " they are investigating". Leaks say that mobile also has issues, because they are based on the same architecture as desktop.
This issue has been going for over a year and they have been blaming everyone else, until they got exposed in press.
"How many chips does Intel estimate are likely to be irreversibly impacted by these issues?
Intel Core 13th and 14th Generation desktop processors with 65W or higher base power – including K/KF/KS and 65W non-K variants…"

Need jarrod, chatgpt, brett and few other laptops gurus to comment
@JarrodsTech
On the deal? We've had it on our site for almost a week already ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
On the laptop itself? It's the cheapest RTX 4050 laptop we've listed in Australia so far. Nitro series is usually ok from our testing for a low/mid option, but we haven't tested the Nitro V. Surprised it has a newer 2024 CPU too (though they are still Zen 4 based like 2023 models). Also still 16gb RAM, many cheapest deals dip down to 8gb.
Detailed review, looks like same model https://www.notebookcheck.net/Acer-Nitro-16-AN16-41-Review-A…
Nope. More ports
Some similar model comes with sdcard reader and 2 usb c ! Not this one…
Specs for similar model (just RAM/SSD different?): https://store.acer.com/en-us/nitro-v-16-gaming-laptop-anv16-…
But isn't V series is below their own Nitro 16 non V series?
Are these RAMs up gradable?
Yes
I bought this laptop last year for my 10yo son. (slightly diff specs), but the screen is the same. Better than average build for the cheaper acer gaming laptops. Unusually good screen for this price. It is heavy but perfect for at home gaming, where you want them out in a family area so you can keep an eye on them.
Way cheaper than my Lenovo Legion and it even has Optimus (looking at you Lenovo)
10yo nowadays are getting all the good goodies i remember my first nokia only when i turned 18yo and bought with half of my saving from working part time and then parents helped with the other half
Good find. These haven't been in stock for ages.
Slightly updated with 8th gen Ryzens.
