SAVE $100: As of May 6, the Acer Nitro V 15 laptop (Intel Core i5-13420H, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD) is on sale for just $699.99. That's 13% off its list price of $799.99.


Whether you're just getting your feet wet in the gaming world or you're looking for a budget-friendly on-the-go setup, the Acer Nitro V 15 laptop is a solid pick — especially when it's on sale.

As of May 6, the 2025 Acer Nitro V 15 laptop with 8GB RAM and 512GB of storage is on sale for just $699.99 at Amazon. That's $100 cheaper than usual or 13% in savings. It also includes a free month of Xbox Game Pass for new users.

The Nitro V 15 isn't a top-of-the-line gaming laptop, but it does tackle the basics well for a good price. It has a 15.6-inch FHD IPS display with a speedy 165Hz refresh rate and 16:9 ratio. Inside, there's an Intel Core i5-13420H processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 graphics card, 8GB of DDR5 RAM, and 512GB of solid-state storage. There's also WiFi 6 compatibility and plenty of ports for all of your gaming peripherals, including HDMI 2.1, USB-C Thunderbolt 4, USB 3.2, and Ethernet E2600.

Acer calls the Nitro V 15 a "gateway to an adrenaline-charged journey," and that's a pretty accurate description. While it's not going to wow advanced gamers, it's a beginner- and budget-friendly gateway drug to an even better future setup.

If you're seeking a solid gaming laptop that performs well for less than $1,000, scoop up the Acer Nitro V 15 while it's $100 less.
