The Acer Nitro 16 gaming laptop is officially available in Malaysia. The refreshed laptops are already available for purchase at all authorised resellers and Acer Concept stores nationwide with a starting SRP of RM5,799.
There are a total of three SKUs for the Nitro 16. At its starting price, the base model comes with an AMD Ryzen 7 7850HS mobile processor, 16GB DDR5-5600MHz RAM, 512GB NVMe Gen4 storage, and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 140W discrete GPU.
For an additional RM600, you bump up the GPU to an RTX 4060 mobile, but every other configuration remains the same on the Nitro 16. Of course, if you’re willing to splurge and you have RM7,999 to spare, the top-specced model comes with a Ryzen 9 7940HS, 32GB DDR5-5600MHz RAM, double the NVMe Gen4 storage at 1TB, and a much beefier RTX 4070 discrete GPU with a TGP 140W.
Regardless of those components, what remains as standard issue for the Nitro 16 is the 16-inch 16:10 WQXGA (2560 x 1600) IPS display, as well as a refresh rate of 165Hz. Additionally, the laptop also comes with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.1 wireless connectivity, an HDMI 2.1 port, and a healthy number of I/O ports for wired connectivity.
That said, the Nitro 16 is not the lightest laptop at 2.7kg, although to be fair, it is a moderately sized gaming laptop, designed to serve as an alternative to a full-sized gaming laptop. Oh, and it even has a full-sized keyboard installed into its base, complete with RGB LED underneath.
