The Acer Nitro V 16 ANV16-41-R0H0 faces the competition
The Acer Nitro V 16 ANV16-41-R0H0 is currently on sale at Acer France and offers an attractive configuration/price ratio for its category where it is one of the least expensive to offer such a recent and powerful processor (AMD) with such a high-performance graphics card, a color screen with such high definition and frequency and such faithful colors as well as SSD storage with such a large capacity.
At the moment we could prefer the Acer Nitro V 16 ANV16-41-R1A7 which is cheaper with a more powerful graphics card and processor as well as a 2.5K screen.
If this Acer Nitro V 16 ANV16-41-R9D9 does not meet all your criteria, you will find other configurations for gaming with a similar budget in our gaming laptop guide. For the same budget, choose the model with the most powerful graphics card, it will have the greatest impact on performance.

Chassis, connections, screen of the Acer Nitro 17 AN17-42-R9NH
With its black design with angular lines and connectors positioned partly at the back, this versatile laptop has a clearly gamer appearance.
The connectivity integrated into this multimedia gaming laptop PC is good, including a useful HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or monitor for example, Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6 ax wireless modules for communicating and connecting remotely, Ethernet and audio ports, 1 USB-C as well as 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are connected.
The chiclet keyboard of course has a backlighting solution that you simply activate when you need to better distinguish your keys.
Gamers will particularly appreciate the 165Hz refresh rate, which is higher than the standard 60Hz because it clearly improves general fluidity, including in games.
The screen also stands out with its 16:10 format which displays more elements in height than the classic 16:9 format.
The Full HD screen also benefits from above-average color accuracy as well as significant viewing angles, both horizontal and vertical, thanks to its sRGB and IPS specifications.
As it has an 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 16 ANV16-41-R0H0
The Acer Nitro V 16 ANV16-41-R0H0 may be of interest to those who want to equip themselves with a versatile 16-inch multimedia laptop that performs well in gaming and creation.
Obviously equipped with SSD storage, this offers a high capacity of 1000 GB to install and store many games, software and files including personal creations why not.
Remember that we obtain much better responsiveness and fluidity on a daily basis with an SSD than with a hard drive because in addition to being more energy efficient, silent and more resistant to shocks, an SSD is much faster.
Result, thanks to the SSD, launching games/software, starting/stopping, carrying out processing or even arriving at online game cards is faster than with a hard drive.
We can play recent games under this versatile gaming laptop since it features the dedicated GeForce RTX 4050 ray tracing graphics card with NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture.
The GeForce RTX 4050 will therefore be appreciated by gamers. But also creators because it accelerates processing under software taking advantage of GPU computing power, such as Vegas, the Adobe suite or VSDC.
The GeForce RTX 4050 is in fact activated/deactivated automatically and in real time by NVIDIA Optimus technology depending on the tasks performed.
Optimus favors maximum operation on the Radeon 760M graphics module inserted in the processor while its performance is much lower because it consumes little energy which promotes autonomy.
The autonomy also represents an undeniable advantage of this configuration since it is around 8 hours of operation on battery in light use, which is particularly appreciable in view of the overall power provided.
Some may be interested in having a student laptop in a comfortable format whose thinness and weight are not among the major criteria.
In any case Optimus uses the GeForce RTX 4050 to carry out graphics work deemed too heavy for the Radeon 760M, typically for gaming, knowing that with one or the other you can watch photos and HD videos, and even play light to modest games.
The Radeon 760M is integrated into the Ryzen 5 8645HS, AMD Hexa Core Hawk Point processor here coupled with 16 RAM to deliver solid general performance which will appeal to a maximum of users.
In games, the GeForce RTX 4050 is well supported by this heart which will delight creators since it deploys its potential in software demanding CPU and RAM resources using multi-core, such as video editing, 3D rendering or photo editing. Under this type of work, multimedia processing is faster here than if we were dealing with a classic Quad Core and 8 GB DDR4/5.
Finally, heating and noise are present when this versatile multimedia creator gaming laptop PC is pushed hard (e.g. games, processing).
However, a ventilated support can be associated with it if necessary to limit its temperatures (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
