IPS, the screen offers a more accurate colorimetry than average as well as important vertical and horizontal viewing angles. With its precise definition Full HD and its 16 / 9th format, the screen lends itself well to the display of High Definition content and especially videos. Thanks to its antireflection coating, the screen provides better visibility in a bright environment (eg outside) than a glossy slab.

The Acer Nitro 5 AN515-54-53CU can appeal to those who wish to equip themselves with a versatile portable 15-inch laptop, especially in games, and offering the choice of the operating system.
Thanks to its GeForce GTX 1660 Ti NVIDIA Turing dedicated card , this computer gamer is able to run the recent games and greedy graphics resources.
Players will appreciate finding embedded SSD storage because it provides a better fluidity and responsiveness to a daily hard drive, including games. Starts / stops and games / applications launches are much faster and we arrive for example faster on the cards of online games.
As a reminder, an SSD is much faster than a hard drive but also more robust, more energy efficient and quiet. However here as often we find an SSD of a capacity lower than standard hard drives. If the 256 GB proposed here are too fair, it is however possible to add a second SSD or hard drive thanks to the 2.5 inch free slot. And you can always use an external storage device as a USB 3.0 device to get fast transfers.
Built around an Intel HM370 chipset, Quad Core i5-9300H Coffee Lake Refresh processor and 8GB of RAM, this gaming computer delivers solid overall performance that can satisfy a wide range of users.
For example, the processors are faster than with a low-power quad core processor and 4 GB DDR4 under the demanding workload of CPU and RAM resources taking advantage of multicore, such as photo editing, 3D rendering or video editing.
Finally autonomy, under Windows plan about 8 hours of battery operation in light use, which is well above the average laptop gamer. Keep in mind however that when it is pushed hard, this PC heats up and is heard, but it is in the good average of this type of machine.
