Why Choose NVIDIA?
But first, why choose NVIDIA? well, NVIDIA has been around for a while now and quite frankly, dominating the competition for God knows how long thanks to not only their advanced technology, design and overall performance but also with their continuously improving softwares and technologies that compliments well with their hardware.
Speaking of hardware, the laptop’s that we’re taking a look at today features NVIDIA Geforce GTX 16 Series Graphics cards that are based on the latest NVIDIA Turing architecture. With this, you can take advantage of the new Turing NVENC, the same NVIDIA Encoder found on RTX-20Series GPU to be able to game and stream at the same time on a single PC without significant drawback to performance and quality. And of course, you’ll also get all the benefits of the new architecture when it comes to overall performance and power efficiency compared to the previous generation graphics cards.
On the other side of things, in terms of the software and other technologies, of course, we have G-Sync that gives you that buttery smooth gameplay without much input latency compared to the standard V-Sync.
We also have the Whisper feature for that balanced performance to noise ratio partnered with the Battery boost technology that should allow you to squeeze a little bit more juice out of your laptop.
As for the gaming experience, we also have the NVIDIA Shadowplay feature that allows you to record and share your gameplay with just a few clicks of a button instead of using external software.
And if you want to take your in-game photography to the next level, we also have the NVIDIA Ansel that allows you to take 360-degree photos, HDR and high-quality images in-game.

The looks of the Acer Nitro 7 may not be as flashy as the Acer Predator Triton 300 with just a red illumination on the keyboard as well as an overall stealthy black aesthetics, but it certainly packs a more powerful kick to it under the hood. Though it features the same 9th-Gen i5-9300H processor, it fits inside, however, a very capable NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1660Ti which is substantial enough to push pixels on a 144Hz Full HD IPS Display or even when connecting the laptop to an external 1440p monitor. It also has 4GB RAM, again upgradable of course, and a 1TB HDD + 256GB of extremely fast NVMe SSD. Build quality seems to be pretty decent as well with an all-aluminum body that also allows it to be relatively thinner compared to other similarly specced laptops out there. Flipping the screen open you’ll be greeted with the keyboard that has red accents that compliment well with the red LED backlight. The keyboard’s layout is decent enough with dedicated arrow keys and a full-size numpad, but what’s good about this is that it also has a dedicated button for the “Acer NitroSense” software that allows you to control and monitor the cooling performance of this laptop. Speaking of cooling performance, the Acer Nitro 7 features the Acer Coolboost Technology that increases fan speed by 10% and CPU/GPU cooling by 9% compared to auto mode in just a click of a button. The downside is, it only has a single color red keyboard backlight which may or may not be a deal- breaker depending on your aesthetic preferences.
