Acer Nitro 5 AN515-45-R71Q - 15.6'' Ryzen 7-5800H 16GB DDR4 1TB SSD

The Acer Nitro 5 AN515-45 has an ascetic (for the gaming segment) design with wide enough bezels around the display and chopped corners. The model has a black case made of smooth matte plastic with red inserts at the back. Such material easily collects dust and fingerprints. The laptop interfaces are located on the left and right sides, near the additional cooling holes. The power supply connector is at the back. Display The laptop is equipped with a matte 15.6-inch IPS Full HD screen with a refresh rate of 144 Hz. AdobeRGB color space coverage is 43.2%. sRGB rates are 61.9% and DCI-P3 is 44.2%. The display has good viewing angles and readability in the sun, but mediocre contrast and coverage of sRGB. In even stronger lighting it becomes difficult to see anything. However, in real use, it most likely won’t be a problem. The screen is bright and rich in colors. Although all we got is Full HD resolution, the maximum graphics settings in games make up for it in some way. A 0.9 MP webcam is installed at the top of the display. The picture is mediocre, but it is enough for video calls with colleagues or classmates. Keyboard and touchpad The keyboard with zone-adjustable RGB lighting looks neat. It is easy to type, the keys are located at an average distance from each other. The buttons on the NumPad are narrowed to save space, but hitting them is as easy as the main ones. WASD game keys and arrows are highlighted in white along the contour. Performance Acer Nitro 5 AN515-45 is equipped with an 8-core AMD Ryzen 7 5800H processor with a base frequency of 3.2 GHz and a maximum of 4.4 GHz. The maximum TDP is 45 W. This allows the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-45 to easily cope with modern games and run them at maximum ray tracing graphics settings (where available). So in Cyberpunk 2077, you can use the “ultra” ray tracing settings. The game ran on average at 50-60 frames per second. In Call of Duty Cold War, the average fps was 105-110 with periodic increases to 128-135 fps. Sometimes I recorded drawdowns of up to 90-95 frames per second.
