Last Updated on May 26, 2022 by saba

Acer has brought a refreshed version of its popular Nitro 5 gaming laptop at the ongoing CES 2022 event in Las Vegas. It has undergone minor changes in its design for 2022, making it more of an evolution than a revolution, as far as design is concerned. The most important change has occurred under its hood, as it now comes powered with Intel’s latest 12th Gen processors, starting from Core i5 to Core i7. It also comes with AMD Ryzen 6000 processors, starting from Ryzen 5 6600H to Ryzen 7 6800H. Staying true to its gaming laptop tag, it comes with Nvidia’s new RTX 3070 Ti graphic card, which handles graphics-intensive tasks like gaming and video editing.

Both Intel and AMD versions look similar and come in two screen sizes, 15.6 inches and a bigger 17.3 inches. You will get FullHD 144Hz or QHD 165Hz display options to choose from.
