Their new creation is called the Acer Nitro V 15 (ANV15-51).Interestingly, this one looks like an Aspire notebook with Nitro treatment.

ASUS TUF Gaming A15 (FA507, 2023) in-depth review
The last few ASUS TUF Gaming devices that we have reviewed left us with positive impressions. The ASUS TUF Gaming A17 (FA707, 2023) has good cooling potential and long battery life and the same applies to the ASUS TUF Gaming A15 FA507. We got the successor of the latter in front of us - the ASUS TUF Gaming A15 (FA507, 2023).The new version has a similar design but the real deal is hidden under the bonnet. You can choose between a refreshed AMD Zen 3+ CPU and a more powerful Zen 4 chip. The mobile NVIDIA RTX 4000 GPUs are part of the package and they come with hefty TGPs which is something [...]

MSI Thin 15 (B12Ux / B12Vx / B13Ux / B13Vx) in-depth review
In 2024, the market offers a lot of budget gaming laptops and some of them are pretty capable for their price. One of the notable mentions in this category is the Acer Nitro V 15 (ANV15-41) which is a great bang for the buck but has one bad flaw - the super high noise during CPU-heavy tasks. On the other hand, we got the MSI Thin 15 B12U which is also an inexpensive gaming machine and it looks pretty sleek for its class.This one is offered with Intel Alder Lake-H CPUs and up to RTX 3050 with 4GB VRAM. The 12th Gen 45W chips are still a good choice for the budget segment. They pack tons of [...]
