Gaming laptops are a great way to take your entertainment with you on the go, unbound by a sprawling desktop setup. Whether you’re looking to upgrade from an older machine or just want something on the side that can get the job done comfortably, we have spotted a great budget-conscious deal for you: Acer’s Nitro V is on sale on Walmart right now, with the 16-inch AMD version going for $629 while the 15.6-inch Intel version is just $579. Let’s break down both.
Next up is the Acer Nitro V 15, which is on an even better sale, saving you an insane $350 for a laptop that’s almost the same size. We’re looking at an Intel processor here, with the Core i5-13420H rocking 8 cores and 12 threads, paired with the same 95W RTX 5050. You also get 16 GB of RAM with 512 GB of storage here, and the design of the laptop is mostly identical, too.
Despite being cheaper than its AMD counterpart, you can expect similar gaming performance at 1080p, made to look great on its 15.6-inch panel with a 165 Hz refresh rate. We don’t get USB 4 or Wi-Fi 6E here to cut some costs, but the battery is stil 76 Wh and the keyboard is still backlit, with a number of other ports to ensure optimal connectivity.
Both of these laptops are worthy picks for a value-consious gamer or someone who’s looking to finally get into PCs but is scared off by the rising cost of RAM and storage. You’ll get decent performance in even AAA titles, with esports games being a breeze, along with some light video editing or productivity tasks like coding. Grab the Acer Nitro V 16 AI for $629 if you prefer AMD, or the Acer Nitro V 15 for just $579 if you prefer Intel.
