Good point, a backlight system equips the chiclet keyboard which is practical to distinguish its keys in case of limited ambient light.
Thanks to its frequency of 120Hz, the screen reinforces the fluidity in games compared to the standard 60Hz. IPS, it offers a more accurate than average colorimetry with comfortable vertical and horizontal viewing angles.

Performances, autonomy of Acer Nitro 5 AN515-43-R68J
The Acer Nitro 5 AN515-43-R68J is a 15-inch High Definition portable PC performing in a versatile use and oriented games.
It is indeed capable of running a good number of games as long as one is ready to make concessions under titles demanding in graphic resources because it takes advantage of the dedicated GeForce GTX 1050 Ti card from NVIDIA.
An essential parameter in games, responsiveness is essential with this PC, in particular because it is equipped with SSD storage. As a reminder, an SSD is much faster than a hard drive but also less energy-consuming, more shock-resistant and quieter.
Thanks to the SSD, this computer is clearly more responsive and fluid than if it were based on a simple hard drive. We take advantage of, for example, much faster start / stop and launch of applications, but also a faster arrival on the cards of online games.
Here, the SSD competes with hard disks in terms of capacity thanks to its 512 GB but if that turns out to be too fair, we can always use an external storage unit. Opting for a USB 3.0 device is therefore an interesting solution for obtaining fast transfers.
In addition, the Acer AN515-43 incorporates 2 storage slots: 1 in M.2 format and 1 in 2.5 inch format. We can therefore add a second SSD or a hard drive to this PC.
The heart of this computer is up to the task, supporting the GTX 1050 Ti well in games. Composed of an AMD APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) Ryzen 5 3550H Quad Core Picasso processor and 8 GB of RAM, it delivers good general performance capable of satisfying many users.
As for the autonomy of this computer which heats up and makes itself heard when it is heavily used (but this remains under control) and is relatively discreet in current use, bet on about 5 hours of battery operation in light use.
