Relatively lightweight, the creator-oriented acer Nitro 5 AN515-45-R55Z gaming laptop features the high-end NVIDIA Ampere GeForce RTX 3060 ray tracing graphics card capable of running recent games. This GPU also accelerates multimedia processing like the powerful AMD Ryzen 5 Cezanne Hexa Core processor supported by fast SSD storage that enhances responsiveness. Featuring a 15-inch IPS Full HD anti-glare display that improves fluidity in games with its 144Hz frequency, this versatile black laptop designed to play and create benefits from a backlit keyboard but also connectivity with Wi-Fi ax and USB-C.

Chassis, connectors, screen of the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-45-R55Z
It sports a resolutely gamer design with its black chassis with angular lines cooled by 2 fans, heat pipes and 4 air outlets.
This creator-oriented gaming laptop is well equipped in terms of connectivity with its USB-C, its Wireless Modules Bluetooth 5.1 and Wi-Fi ax(more powerful and recent than Wi-Fi ac)to communicate and connect remotely, its hdmi video output convenient to easily connect it to a TV or monitor for example, its Ethernet and audio ports or its 3 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if you plug in USB 3.0 devices.
A backlight system equips of course the chiclet keyboard which is convenient to better discern them in the dim light.
The screen will be of particular interest to gamers as it improves fluidity in games thanks to its reduced latency of 3ms as well as its 144Hz refresh rate higher than the standard 60Hz. With its 16/9th aspect ratio and precise Full HD definition, the screen also lends itself very well to the display of videos and more generally High Definition content. As it adopts IPS technology, the screen also offers better visibility in bright environments (e.g. outdoors) than a shiny slab.
Performance, battery life of the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-45-R55Z
The Acer Nitro 5 AN515-45-R55Z targets those looking for a versatile 15-inch laptop that performs well in gaming and is creation-oriented.
This creator-oriented gaming laptop is versatile with its dual graphics solution combining the dedicated GeForce RTX 3060 card with the Radeon Vega 7 solution integrated into the processor both for watching photos and videos. Nvidia Optimus technology automatically switches between the two in real time as needed.
In order to promote autonomy, the Radeon Vega 7 is preferred to the maximum by Optimus despite its modest performance because it consumes little energy. In terms of autonomy, we can count on about 5 hours of operation on battery in light use
Optimus activates the GeForce RTX 3060 when it comes to running graphics processing deemed too heavy for the Radeon Vega 7. Featuring the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, the GeForce RTX 3060 ray tracing is a high-end dedicated graphics card capable of running recent games.
In addition, the GeForce RTX 3060 accelerates processing under software exploiting GPU computing power, such as Adobe Premiere/Photoshop or Sony Vegas, which is of interest to creators.
The Radeon Vega 7 is housed in the AMD APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) Cezanne Hexa Core Ryzen 5 5600H processor. This is coupled with 8 GB of RAM to deliver solid overall performance.
The Ryzen 5 5600H offers the advantage of guaranteeing faster processing than a Quad Core, the difference being particularly noticeable under CPU-intensive jobs taking advantage of multi-core, such as video editing, 3D rendering or photo editing.
On the storage side, there is a 512 GB SSD that rivals the standard of hard drives in terms of capacity while being more energy efficient, quiet, more resistant to shocks and much faster.
In practice, the SSD clearly enhances the responsiveness and fluidity on a daily basis compared to the hard disk. Thanks to the SSD, for example, we reach the cards of online games faster and we benefit from much faster game/software launches, processing and starts/stops.
Obviously in the event that 512 GB is too fair, we can use an external storage unit. Favoring a USB-C/USB 3.0 device is then an interesting option to obtain fast transfers.
Finally, you should know that this versatile laptop designed to play and create heats up and is heard when it is strongly pushed (eg games, treatments), however at controlled levels.
