Edmund_McGowan

Powerful, pearly white and pretty are a few of the words that may come to mind when you first lay eyes upon Acer’s Nitro V 14 AMD gaming laptop. But don’t let the mild pearly hues of this AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS 3.80 GHz processor powered beauty fool you into thinking that it's just a pretty laptop. This is not merely a laptop, it’s a chrome-plated AI antithesis to the mundane. Oh yeah, this is a portable battle station ready to convey you to the darkest realms of the digital sphere, and hopefully you’ll have some fun along the way! Today we’re going to get up close and personal with the Acer Nitro V 14 pearl white, and discover how this is a gaming laptop that’s tailor made for the rhythm of your mobile gaming lifestyle. Let’s get stuck in!

Pearls of wisdom and MUX

Before we get under the hood to give you a rundown of the impressive tech-specs of the Nitro V 14 AMD, let’s take a moment to appreciate the aesthetics and intended purpose of this gaming laptop. At a mere 3.75 lbs, the Nitro V 14 is a lightweight slimline (0.84”-0.89” height) gaming laptop that won’t weigh you down in your backpack, whatever realms you roam in. The sturdy, white plastic chassis is stylishly decorated with a turquoise “N” for Nitro, while the keypad also features ethereal turquoise backlighting.

The device features vents aplenty at the rear hinge of the laptop, as well as underside venting. In a world of predominantly black gaming laptops, the Nitro V 14 AMD stands out among the crowd. Aesthetics aside, this is a laptop that’s equally comfortable bringing your favorite AAA games to life at blistering speeds, as it is for everyday productivity and content creation.

The Nitro V 14 AMD is equipped with an MUX switch (multiplexer switch). At the flick of a switch, you can toggle between the laptop’s integrated GPU (in the CPU) and its dedicated GPU. This handy hardware component lets you use the integrated graphics for less-demanding tasks, or when you need to save energy. When it’s time to slay the baddies, simply switch to the dedicated GPU (NVIDIA® GeForce RTX 4050 with 6 GB dedicated memory) for maximum performance. The MUX will give you boosted frame rates, reduced latency, as well as direct control over how much power you’re using.
