The Acer Nitro 5 AN515-44 (2020) is a gaming laptop that features AMD Ryzen 4000H series processors and Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 or GTX 1650 Ti GPUs. It is designed to provide a solid gaming experience with its 144Hz FHD IPS display and other gaming-centric features. The laptop is available in Obsidian Black and is part of Acer's Nitro series, which is known for offering gaming laptops at competitive prices.[1]

Primary Hardware

This section was written by AI and requires review. Remove this after review.

Processor

The Acer Nitro 5 AN515-44 can be configured with the following processors:

  • AMD Ryzen 7 4800H with 8 cores and 16 threads, a base clock speed of 2.90 GHz, and a boost clock speed for demanding tasks.
  • AMD Ryzen 5 4600H with 6 cores and 12 threads, offering a balance of performance and efficiency.

The Ryzen 7 4800H is known for its strong multi-core performance, making it suitable for gaming as well as content creation tasks such as video editing and rendering.[1][2]

The Ryzen 5 4600H offers a strong price-performance ratio, outperforming Intel's Core i7-9750H in multi-threaded tasks by approximately 20%.[3]

Graphics

The laptop comes with the following graphics options:

The GTX 1650 is a mid-range GPU that provides decent performance for gaming at 1080p resolution. It is capable of running most games smoothly, although more demanding titles may require settings adjustments for optimal performance.[1][4]

The GTX 1650 Ti, while offering better performance than the GTX 1650, is only slightly more powerful, with both GPUs featuring 1,024 shaders and a 128-bit interface. The primary difference is the use of GDDR6 memory in the Ti model.[5]

Memory

The Nitro 5 AN515-44 is equipped with either 8 GB or 16 GB of DDR4 SDRAM, with support for up to 64 GB. This amount of memory is adequate for gaming and multitasking, although users who require more memory for intensive applications may consider upgrading.[1][6]

Storage

The laptop includes options for 256 GB or 512 GB SSD, providing fast boot times and quick access to applications and games. The SSD storage is beneficial for reducing load times in games and improving overall system responsiveness. The laptop supports up to 8000 GB SSD and 2000 GB HDD, with two M.2 NVMe SSD slots and a single 2.5-inch SATA drive bay.[1][7]

The SK Hynix BC511 SSD in the review unit offers sequential read speeds of 1183 MB/s and write speeds of 1056 MB/s, which are adequate for everyday use.[8]

Input Devices

This section was written by AI and requires review. Remove this after review.

Keyboard

The Acer Nitro 5 features a backlit keyboard, which enhances visibility in low-light environments. The keyboard is designed for gaming, with highlighted WASD keys and a dedicated NitroSense key for quick access to system settings. The keyboard has a rather long key travel and a clicky, yet non-intrusive feedback, making it comfortable for typing and gaming. Some variants come with a red backlight, while others offer customizable RGB lighting.[1][9]

Touchpad

The touchpad supports multi-touch gestures, allowing for intuitive navigation and control. It is responsive and provides a smooth user experience for everyday tasks. However, it is made out of plastic and has a tendency to attract fingerprints.[1][10]

The touchpad measures 10.5 x 7.5 cm and provides good gliding capabilities, although the button clicks are loud and clattery.[11]

Output Devices

Display

The laptop is equipped with a 15.6-inch Full HD IPS display, offering:

  • A resolution of 1920 x 1080
  • A refresh rate of 60 Hz or 144 Hz
  • Matte finish (ComfyView) to reduce glare

The high refresh rate is particularly beneficial for gaming, providing smoother visuals and reducing motion blur. The display has comfortable viewing angles, a good contrast ratio of 1190:1, and adequate default settings. However, it covers only 51% of the sRGB color gamut and uses PWM for brightness adjustment, which can be harmful to the eyes.[1][12]

The display's brightness averages 270.6 cd/m², with a contrast ratio of 1148:1. However, the color space coverage is limited, with only 61% of sRGB and 43% of AdobeRGB.[13]

Connectivity

The Nitro 5 AN515-44 features a sleek design in Obsidian Black. It has a durable build with a weight of approximately 2.40 kg, making it portable enough for gaming on the go. The laptop is made entirely of plastic, which is standard for budget gaming notebooks. The lid opens with a single hand, and the keyboard deck is slightly flexy. The design includes thin top and side bezels, with a thicker chin below the display.[1][18]

Despite being made of plastic, the laptop's design is considered premium, with a striking lid that resembles aluminum. The combination of black surfaces with red highlights gives it a balanced look between professional and playful.[19]
