Acer Aspire V17 Nitro

Along with support for eye-tracking technology, the 17-inch Acer Aspire V17 Nitro gaming laptop is a good value for the components you get.

Built-in eye tracking. Sturdy keyboard.

Flimsy, small touchpad. Matte screen dulls colors and blurs some windows.

Bottom Line: Along with support for eye-tracking technology, the 17-inch Acer Aspire V17 Nitro gaming laptop is a good value for the components you get.

Acer Aspire V Nitro 7-791G-7984

It's available in various configurations in the US , UK and Australia in 15.6- and 17.3-inch versions starting around $1,000 in the US, AU$2,000 in Australia and £777 in the UK. The exact 15.6-inch configuration reviewed here is currently only...

The Acer Aspire V Nitro Black Edition packs quality components including a high-end quad-core processor, discrete graphics and dual storage drives into an understated body. It has a great 4K-resolution display and sweet-sounding speakers.

The mid-range graphics processor will keep you from playing many games at full 4K resolution. Lack of a touchscreen might disappoint some. Though somewhat expected, battery life is short.

A thinner, lighter gaming laptop, the Acer Aspire V Nitro Black Edition satisfies with an excellent screen and performance and understated good looks.

Acer Aspire V17 Nitro BE (7700HQ, GTX 1060, 4k) Laptop Review

Slender gamer. Acer's mobile 17.3-inch gaming notebook is capable of running all current games smoothly. The system is well-equipped and offers a decent selection of ports. Particularly interesting are the notebook's 4k display and its eye-tracking...

bright, matte display with high contrast ratio ; decent input devices ; NVMe SSD ; free SATA slot ; Thunderbolt 3

no maintenance flap ; slow SD card reader

Acer’s 4k gaming notebook is capable of running all current games smoothly. However, the full 4k resolution is all but unplayable with most games because of its entry-level high-performance GPU. However, settling for FHD resolution results in a smooth...

Acer Aspire V17 Nitro BE VN7-793G (7300HQ, GTX 1060, FHD, Eye-Tracking) Laptop Review

Made for gaming. Acer's current 17-inch series, known as Nitro, has received a CPU and GPU performance upgrade. The V17 Nitro thus performs very well while at the same time being moderately quiet. In addition, Acer has scrapped the optical drive but...

plain yet functional design ; rigid case ; Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 with 6 GB VRAM ; SSD + HDD ; decent input devices ; USB Type-C + Thunderbolt ; good battery life ; low power consumption ; well thought-out port distribution ; very quiet (even under...

no maintenance flaps ; key labels can be hard to read ; awkward fingerprint-reader positioning ; very slow SD-card reader

All things considered the Nitro - when viewed from a gaming perspective - performed very well. Acer effectively refutes the bias that Core i5 processors are not suitable for gaming and proves that the graphics card is much more important. The Intel...

Acer Aspire V17 Nitro BE VN7-793G (7300HQ, GTX 1050 Ti, FHD) Laptop Review

Entry-level Nitro. Acer's 17.3-inch laptop offers good overall performance, decent emission levels, and a well-thought-out ports configuration. Unlike its predecessors, it does not include an optical drive anymore. Our review unit also did not include...

non-glare IPS display ; FHD resolution ; free m.2 slot ; suitable for gaming ; Thunderbolt 3

no maintenance flaps ; mediocre battery life ; slow SD card reader

The Aspire VN7-793G-5811 is a relatively affordable 17.3-inch entry-level model into the world of Acer’s Nitro series. While its price of roughly 1100 Euros ($1200) does not get you a Core i7 CPU just yet, you do get a Core i5-7300HQ instead, which...

Acer Aspire V17 Nitro BE VN7-793G Notebook (GTX 1060 Black Edition) Review

Aspire Nitro on Nitro! The Aspire Nitro is familiar, just like the GeForce GTX 1060. It is the combination of the two components that makes the Acer Aspire Nitro 2016 such an interesting device. The price is supposed to start at around 1,300 Euros, so...

There it is, the object of desire. The refreshed Acer Aspire Nitro VN7-793G uses the familiar design, and there should not be any surprises in terms of the display, either. The big story is the hardware equipment, because Acer offers a number of new...

Acer Aspire V Nitro 7-791G Notebook Review

Not much more powerful. On paper, the powerful hardware upgrade of Acer's Nitro series seems appealing. Although, the performance has not improved in the synthetic benchmarks, gamers might appreciate more fps and a higher display contrast.

Low waste heat, Still very good input devices, Matte IPS panel, Better contrast than its predecessor, Good gaming performance

Fan gets loud early, Stability of the big case, Partly difficult to maintain

As in our previous test, Acer's Aspire V 17 Nitro is impressive, and proved to be a solid notebook in all aspects for 1370 Euros (~$1540). Compared with the predecessor, the important changes are the CPU with higher clock, and the new NVIDIA GeForce...

Acer Aspire V17 Nitro VN7-791G Notebook Review

Nitro light. The Aspire would like to replace the desktop PC at home when it is ready for retirement. An Acer laptop with a decent configuration costs about 700 Euros (~$741). However, the computer has a high energy demand.

Stylish, slim casing, Bright, high-contrast screen with matte surface, Plenty of computing power, Gaming capable, Decent input devices, Keyboard backlight

No maintenance cover, High power consumption

Acer's Aspire VN7-791G-50MV provides its owner with plenty of computing power, and can even run computer games. The laptop usually runs quietly and heats up moderately at most. Furthermore, it has decent input devices, and the screen is compelling....

Acer Aspire V17 Nitro (VN7-791G-759Q) Notebook Review

Controlled explosion. With convincing components and slim cases, the notebooks from Acer's new Aspire V Nitro-series are real all-rounders for discerning customers. Our Black Edition with the GeForce GTX 860M is targeted at gamers. Our review shows...

Big model variety, Comparatively light and thin, Nice design with interesting surfaces, Clean build quality, Dual-band WLAN, Ergonomic and nicely illuminated keyboard..., ...that can unfortunately be pushed in, Excellent touchpad, Overall convenient...

Case stability not perfect, Bad maintainability, Battery very hard to access, Memory slots deep inside the case, Confusing statements about the manufacturers' warranty, Contrast could be higher, Tricky to use the equalizer, Mediocre battery runtimes

What a shame, we would have liked to see a very good rating for the Acer Aspire V 17 Nitro Black Edition (VN7-791G-759Q), but it just misses it (amongst others) because of the very complicated accessibility of the battery and the other components that...
