Chassis, connections, screen of the Acer Nitro V 15 ANV15-41-R6M1
Cooled by 2 fans, heat pipes and 4 air grilles, this versatile, gamer-oriented and creative laptop has a gamer appearance with its black design with angular lines.
This creative gaming laptop PC has good connectivity with its practical HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or monitor for example, its Ethernet and audio ports, its 6 ax Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.1 modules for connections and wireless remote communications, its USB-C or even its 3 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) ensuring transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are plugged into it.
The chiclet keyboard can be backlit when you want to better distinguish your keys in a dimly lit environment.
Players will appreciate that the screen has a refresh rate of 144Hz higher than the standard 60Hz, which clearly improves overall fluidity, including in games.
The Full HD screen is also suitable for videos due to its 16:9 format while its viewing angles, both horizontal and vertical, are greater than average.
Thanks to its anti-reflective treatment, the screen is also more readable than a shiny panel in a bright environment (eg outdoors).
Performance, autonomy of the Acer Nitro V 15 ANV15-41-R6M1
The Acer Nitro V 15 ANV15-41-R6M1 is aimed at those looking for a versatile 15-inch performance laptop focused on creation and gaming.
Driven by a Ryzen 5 8645HS AMD Hexa Core Hawk Point processor and 16 GB of RAM, this laptop delivers solid general performance that will satisfy a maximum of users.
Creators will appreciate obtaining much faster processing thanks to this core than with a Quad Core and 8 GB DDR4/5. The difference is clearly notable in areas requiring CPU and RAM resources that take advantage of multi-core, such as photo editing, video editing or 3D rendering.
Creative people will appreciate this versatile multimedia-oriented laptop even more as the dedicated graphics card it features – the GeForce RTX 3050 – speeds up processing. This is for example the case under VSDC, Vegas or Adobe Photoshop/Premiere.
Equipped with the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, the GeForce RTX 3050 ray tracing here in the dedicated 6 GB version is able to run games that are not too demanding on 3D resources.
The GeForce RTX 3050 is in fact activated/deactivated automatically and in real time by NVIDIA Optimus technology depending on the tasks performed.
Optimus in practice favors as much as possible operation on the AMD Radeon 760M graphics module inserted in the Ryzen 5 even though it is significantly less powerful because it consumes little energy which promotes autonomy.
In terms of autonomy, expect around 5 hours of battery operation in light use while waiting for more concrete tests.
Still, the GeForce RTX 3050 is used by Optimus to carry out graphics work deemed too heavy for the Radeon 760M, typically for gaming.
On the storage side, as with many models on the market, we find a 512 GB SSD.
If you need additional space, you can obviously use an external storage unit. In this case, favoring a USB 3.0/USB-C device represents an advantageous option for obtaining fast transfers.
Still, an SSD provides much better fluidity and responsiveness on a daily basis than a hard drive.
Because an SSD is much faster, in addition to being silent, less energy-consuming and more robust.
On a daily basis, starts/stops are much faster with an SSD than with a hard drive, just like launching games/software and processing or even arriving on online game cards for example.
As for heating and noise, expect them to be present in the event of heavy use (e.g. games, treatments) of this versatile creative gaming laptop which can be combined with a ventilated support if necessary to limit its temperatures (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
