Acer Nitro V 15
The Acer Nitro V 15 comes in two versions that are very similar in terms of graphics platform and visual capabilities, but separated by a price and processor difference that changes their overall positioning. The model ANV15-52-73F2 with Intel Core i7-13620H is offered at €999, while the model ANV15-52-94KP with Intel Core i9-13900H rises to €1,279.

Acer Nitro V 15 ANV15-52-94KP Gaming Notebook: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 8 GB GDDR7, Intel Core i9-13900H, 16 GB DDR4 RAM, 1024 GB SSD, 15.6" FHD IPS 165 Hz LED LCD, Windows 11 Home; was €1349.99, now €1279.
Both laptops share the same gaming base with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 8 GB GDDR7, 16 GB DDR4 RAM, 1024 GB SSD, and Windows 11 Home, along with a 15.6-inch FHD IPS 165 Hz display. This configuration makes them suitable for playing in Full HD with a good margin of smoothness and also handling everyday tasks such as streaming, studying, and light productivity without issues.
In terms of CPU, the Core i7-13620H integrates 10 cores and 16 threads, with a base frequency of 2.4 GHz and a boost of up to 4.9 GHz. The Core i9-13900H goes up to 14 cores and 20 threads, with a base frequency of 2.6 GHz and turbo peak up to 5.4 GHz. The difference is particularly noticeable in heavier loads, such as software compilation, intensive multitasking, streaming while gaming, and video editing.
Thus, the i9 version is more suitable for those who want extra margin not only in games but also in mixed scenarios such as 4K editing, light machine learning, using multiple applications open in parallel, or gaming sessions with active chat, browser, and recording all together. The i7 model, on the other hand, remains a more recommended choice for those looking for a gaming notebook with a more affordable price and already solid power for Full HD.
The display section deserves attention because both notebooks adopt a 15.6-inch IPS panel with 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution and 165 Hz refresh rate, a combination that favors smooth images and quick response times in competitive titles. Acer also indicates for these displays the ComfyView technology and a color coverage of 45% NTSC on some versions of the Nitro V 15 series, a useful data point for those looking for a panel designed primarily for gaming rather than professional color work.
The presence of RTX 5060 with 8 GB GDDR7 elevates the profile of the machines even for those aiming for sessions with ray tracing or recent titles that benefit from new upscaling algorithms and faster graphic memories. In this context, the 165 Hz display and the dedicated GPU form a coherent duo for those wanting a laptop capable of delivering a good responsiveness in competitive games and a more stable performance in triple-A titles.
For purchasing, the choice revolves mainly around the price-to-CPU power ratio: the model with Core i7-13620H offers already a convincing base at €999, while the variant with Core i9-13900H justifies the price increase when more cores, threads, and higher frequencies are needed for heavy loads and professional use beyond gaming. The former is particularly interesting in terms of price/performance relationship in our view.
