Acer Nitro V 16

The Acer Nitro V 16 is a gaming laptop that promises to deliver competent performance, but its build quality and thermal management are questionable. With an efficient interior, good display, and a Ryzen 5 processor, it's unclear why the CPU is held back by poor thermals. The power-limited GPU also raises confusion, making this laptop's identity and purpose within Acer's lineup uncertain.
