Specifications of the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-55-564M

Chassis, connectors, screen of the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-55-564M

Cooled using 2 fans including 1 AeroBlade 3D 4th generation, heat pipes and air vents, this laptop PC intended for gaming and creation has a gamer look with its black frame with angular lines and touches of red.

In terms of connectivity, this versatile multimedia laptop is well equipped with its USB-C, its wireless Wi-Fi ax modules ( more efficient and recent than Wi-Fi ac ) and Bluetooth 5.0 for remote connections and communications, its practical HDMI video output for easy connection to a TV or monitor for example, its Ethernet and audio ports or even its 3 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 peripherals are plugged into it.

The keys of the chiclet keyboard can be backlit, which is practical for better distinguishing them in the event of reduced ambient light.

Anti-reflective coating, the screen offers better visibility in a bright environment (eg outdoors) than a shiny panel. It is also very suitable for displaying videos and more generally High Definition content thanks to its 16: 9 format and Full HD definition. With its IPS technology, the screen has significant viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically, while its colorimetry is standard, lower than that of more high-end IPS panels. In any case, gamers will particularly appreciate that the screen adopts a 144Hz refresh rate which improves fluidity in games compared to the 60Hz standard.

Performance, battery life of the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-55-564M

The Acer Nitro 5 AN515-55-564M is a versatile 15-inch laptop PC with a creative and gaming focus.

It is equipped with the GeForce RTX 3050, a dedicated NVIDIA Ampere graphics card with ray tracing. As a result, we can play as many titles as possible for concessions under the most demanding games in terms of graphics resources to obtain good playability.

As a bonus, the GeForce RTX 3050 speeds up processing under software using GPU computing power, such as Adobe Premiere / Photoshop or Sony Vegas, which creative people will appreciate.

In practice, the GeForce RTX 3050 is activated / deactivated automatically and in real time, using NVIDIA Optimus technology according to the tasks performed.

Optimus favors as much as possible the Intel UHD 630 solution integrated into the processor while its benefits are modest because it is energy efficient which promotes battery life. The GeForce RTX 3050 is therefore activated by Optimus to perform graphics processing that is too heavy for the Intel UHD 630. With one or the other, we can obviously watch photos and videos.

It is the Intel Comet Lake-H Quad Core i5-10300H processor which integrates the Intel UHD 630. It is coupled with 8 GB of RAM to deliver solid general performance capable of satisfying a large number of users.
It should be noted that the Core i5-10300H provides faster processing than a low-power Quad Core processor, particularly in areas that are greedy in CPU resources taking advantage of multi-cores, such as video editing, photo editing or 3D rendering.

On the storage side, Acer has chosen an SSD here, which has the advantage of being silent but also more robust than a hard drive, less energy consuming and much faster.

Result thanks to the SSD, we obtain a much better reactivity and fluidity on a daily basis than with a simple hard drive. Thus, for example, we benefit from much faster software / game launches like processing and starts / stops, or even faster arrival on the cards of online games.

With its 512 GB, the SSD offers a capacity similar to the standard of hard disks. However, if you need more space, you can always use an external storage unit. Favoring a USB 3.0 / USB-C device then represents an interesting option for obtaining fast transfers.

As for battery life, expect about 5 hours of battery operation in light use for this computer which is heard and heats up when it is heavily used (eg games).
