Acer Nitro 16 Arrives In Malaysia, Up To Ryzen 9 & RTX 4070 Available
Acer has unveiled the latest addition to its gaming lineup, the new Nitro 16 (rebranded from the old Nitro 5 series) with the latest hardware from AMD and NVIDIA. The laptop comes with up to Ryzen 9 7940HS 8-core CPU at disposal, paired with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 (140W TGP), 32GB of DDR5-5600 RAM and 1TB SSD to deliver the frames to the 16-inch 16:10 QHD+ 165Hz display.
The Nitro 16 sees a minor redesign from the old Nitro 5 series with the new ‘N’ branding but retains the same 4-zone RGB seen in this lineup. The cooling system also comes with liquid metal cooling for the CPU to help transfer the heat; meanwhile the new Mode key enables instant switching of power profiles, while the new 16-inch chassis provided additional touchpad area thanks to increased vertical height.
The prices for the Nitro 16 starts from RM5,799 – which nets you a combination of Ryzen 7 7840HS + RTX 4050 configuration; the 7840HS + RTX 4060 costs RM6,399 and the range-topping 7940HS + RTX 4070 will set you back for RM7,999. In line with the Acer Day campaign, customers who purchase the Acer Nitro 16 before 17 August 2023 will be receiving a Cestus 335 Gaming Mouse and a Predator Gaming Urban Backpack V2 as a complimentary gift.
Pokdepinion: As much as Nitro is for “budget gamers”, I felt like Nitro has come a long way with much more premium parts than its contemporaries.
