Acer's Nitro brand has long been considered the "little brother" of the more powerful Predator series. This is something Acer itself is trying to address by emphasizing a distinct identity and further distinguishing it from other larger models. With the Nitro, you get modern technology without breaking the bank, making it an ideal choice for those who need something new but can't afford a luxury gaming laptop.

The Nitro laptops will lose that weird naming convention with the odd numbers in their descriptions and will be labeled based on their screen sizes, just like other Acer products that have been rebranded. So now you'll find them as the Nitro 16 and Nitro 17 at CES , each with a 16-inch and 17.3-inch screen, respectively. The styling, aside from the rear exhaust fans from the previous generation, hasn't changed much. It still has that minimalist Razer look. That's actually a good thing, since you don't have to raise it a bit at the back to make it look more brutal in front of your friends at LAN parties. Nitro Specs With your choice of a 13th-generation Intel Core i5 or i7 processor , up to 32GB of RAM will be included on both Acer laptops. They will be compatible with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4000 series graphics cards, which will allow you to switch from integrated to discrete graphics without restarting. Both will also include a keyboard with four-zone RGB lighting, so that it is cooler and you can express your uniqueness in the lighting options as much as possible. With a special key, users will have access to the NitroSense UI , with which they will be able to monitor temperatures when things get tough. We will see how this will develop, because Acer has promised that the new gaming laptops will handle heavy games much more easily. In terms of connectivity, you will have ports: HDMI 2.1, microSD, two Thunderbolt 4 power delivery ports and three USB 3.2 Gen 2.

The Predators , the two new Helios models will be available with a 16- or 18-inch display. Both have undergone their own minimal, more professional redesign and come with a choice of a 13th-generation Intel Core i7 or i9 processor paired with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4000 series GPU . You can pair them with up to 32GB of RAM and up to 2TB of storage, but there are other, less expensive options. A cool addition is a pair of replacement covers for the exhaust fans on the back of the laptop. These, we're told, can be painted or customized in any way you like. Acer's Gaming Laptops
