Acer Nitro 16 (AN16-72) Review – Surprises With Hidden Gems for Gamers and Designers
The Raptor Lake-HX Refresh CPUs are already here and some of them offer more cores, bigger cache size, and slightly higher frequencies than their predecessors. The Acer Nitro 16 (AN16-72) relies on the abovementioned chips which means that the device boasts a serious amount of power – the top-end processor is the Core i7-14700HX with 20 cores and 28 threads. Our laptop has the same CPU – this is the best way to torture the cooling at max.
In terms of graphics, the base GPU is the GeForce RTX 3050 (Laptop, 6GB), and the most powerful video card for this series is the GeForce RTX 4060 (Laptop). All display models are IPS units with a 165Hz frequency – this is a good start. There are two 1200p variants and one 1600p screen. That’s a gaming laptop so it’s not a surprise that it brings to the table goodies such as Nvidia Advanced Optimus, G-Sync, and a MUX switch.
The I/O panel is full of ports, the upgradability is good, and you get Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.3 for connectivity – nice! As always, the NitroSense app offers much performance presets and a lot of options for tweaking.
