Pros and Cons

Acer Nitro 17

Strengths

The Acer Nitro 17 has a solid feel with sharp lines, four Zone RGB LED lines on the keyboard system, and a rough gaming design that's reminiscent of the old days.
The device has a unique way of operating, but it helps to understand how it controls its performance
The CPU is an i7-13700H which is not too different from the i712700h
The RTX 4060 GPU is better than last year's 3060 and can usually push up to 120 and 130 FPS at 2K and high settings in games like Halo
The laptop surface stays cool even during gaming sessions, with temperatures around 70 degrees Celsius for the CPU
The screen has a 2K and 165 Hertz display that's both sharp and smooth, making it great for playing AAA games without needing an external monitor
The device can push CSGO over 300 and 400 FPS, as well as many other games at 2K resolutions

Weaknesses

The performance of the device is only on paper, and in reality, the CPU and GPU almost never reached their maximum power
The laptop's build quality is only decent in its segment, with a poorly applied logo that peels off easily
The chassis still makes a glossy plastic finish, which can be unstable in terms of build quality
The device's performance was lower than expected during gaming sessions, with FPS dropping to around 80-90 compared to other laptops with the same RTX 4060
It's unclear why Acer increased the power supply for the RTX 4060 to 140 Watts when in reality it never achieved the performance even in Turbo mode
The device's cooling system is excellent, but it can be misleading as it may be due to power limitation rather than actual cooling
Some of the design elements, such as the logo and chassis finish, are not well-made and can be distracting

Asus ROG Strix G15 G513R

Strengths

The new Rog Strix G15 is probably the most recognizable gaming laptop on the market, thanks to its performance-oriented nature.
It comes with ultra-fast AMD processors up to Ryzen 9 698 and high-end RTX 3080 Ti from NVIDIA.
The laptop weighs only 2.3 kilos, making it a great option for portable gaming.
The display offers wide viewing angles, good contrast ratio, and no PWM across all brightness levels, making it suitable for long gaming sessions.
The laptop comes with a huge 90Wh battery unit that lasts for 11 hours of web browsing or more than 8 hours of video playback.

Weaknesses

No information about the price is provided in the text, which can be a con for potential buyers who are on a budget.
The laptop's weight may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who prefer lighter laptops.
There is no mention of any issues with heat management or cooling system in the text, but it was mentioned that the top tier configuration includes a Ryzen 9 6900HX and an RTX 3080 Ti with 16 GB of memory and 150W TGP.
The laptop's design may not be for everyone, especially those who prefer more minimalist designs.
No information about any potential issues with Wi-Fi connectivity or battery life in different usage scenarios is provided in the text.

While I was excited to see the device's full potential, my experience was underwhelming. The laptop's design, with its sharp lines and RGB LED keyboard, has a solid feel but is marred by poor build quality. I'll delve into the performance aspects in this review, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of the Acer Nitro 17.

Asus ROG Strix G15 G513R

The ASUS ROG Strix G15 G513R is the most recognizable gaming laptop on the market, known for its performance-oriented nature and timely updates from Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA.
