Chassis, connectors, screen of the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-57-50MM
Cooled by 2 fans including 1 AeroBlade 3D 4th generation, heat pipes and air vents, this laptop sports a clearly gamer look with its black design with angular lines and touches of red.
This creator gaming laptop has a good connectivity including 2 USB-C including 1 Thunderbolt 4, a convenient HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or monitor for example, wireless modules Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi ax (more powerful and recent than Wi-Fi ac) to communicate and connect remotely, Ethernet and audio ports or 3 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are plugged into them.
A backlight system equips of course the chiclet keyboard which is practical so that we can better discern its keys in the dim light.
To seduce gamers, the screen adopts a frequency of 144Hz higher than the standard 60Hz to improve fluidity in games. As it adopts IPS technology, the screen also has significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles. As a bonus, the screen lends itself well to the display of High Definition content such as videos with its Full HD definition and 16/9th format. Treated anti-reflective, the screen also offers better visibility than a shiny slab in bright environments (e.g. outdoors).
Performance, battery life of the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-57-50MM
The Acer Nitro 5 AN515-57-50MM is aimed at those who want to acquire a versatile 15-inch laptop that performs well in gaming and creation.
The latest and most graphics-intensive games can run at a good level of detail on this versatile laptop designed to play and create because it embeds the high-end GeForce RTX 3070 ray tracing NVIDIA Ampere dedicated graphics card.
In addition to gamers, the GeForce RTX 3070 will be of interest to creators because it accelerates processing under software that takes advantage of GPU computing power, such as Adobe Premiere/Photoshop or Sony Vegas.
The GeForce RTX 3070 ray tracing is in practice automatically enabled/disabled in real time by NVIDIA Optimus technology. This one prefers it as much as to do what can the Intel Iris Xe integrated into the processor despite its much lower performance because it is energy-efficient which promotes autonomy.
In this regard, count on about 5 hours on battery in light use in this area.
In fact, the GeForce RTX 3070 is solicited by Optimus when it comes to performing graphics work deemed too heavy for the Iris Xe, typically to play.
The Iris Xe is directly housed in the processor, a Hexa Core i5-11400H Intel Tiger Lake-H here coupled with 16 GB of RAM to provide overall power to seduce a maximum of users.
If this heart supports the GeForce RTX 3070 in games, it should be noted that currently the contribution of the Hexa Core is variable in games compared to a Quad Core.
In any case, it will be appreciated by creatives because it guarantees much faster processing than a Quad Core and 8 GB DDR4. We particularly feel the difference under CPU and RAM intensive work using multi-core, such as video editing, 3D rendering or photo editing.
The storage here is entrusted to an SSD more energy efficient than a hard drive while being silent, more shock resistant and much faster.
As a result, thanks to the SSD, we reach for example faster on the cards of online games than with a hard disk and we obtain much faster launches of games / software as well as processing and starts / stops.
The SSD here offers 512 GB of capacity, which is what hard drives offer as standard. However, in the event that we need more space, we can obviously rely on an external storage unit. Opting for a USB 3.0/USB-C/Thunderbolt device is then an interesting solution to enjoy fast transfers.
Finally, when it is heavily solicited, expect this creator-oriented gaming laptop to heat up and be heard, nevertheless at mastery levels for this type of computer.
