Just like fashion, gaming laptop trends seem to come back every once a while, like a vicious circle. A few years ago, we had office gaming laptops, pretty much souped-up versions of Pavilions and Ideapads. Now, thin and light gaming laptops are more popular than ever, thanks to advancements in hardware and cooling. Today we've got a battle between two of the more popular entry-level gaming laptops, both of which are pretty thin and light (for gaming laptop standards). One in fact even has "Thin" in its name, which is rather bold. Today we're comparing the Acer Nitro V 15 against the MSI Thin GF63 in pretty much every possible category, from chassis and durability to displays, cooling, and performance. We also can't forget about upgradeability, which is a meaty topic with any laptop.

Besides the mandatory paperwork, there isn't anything more inside. Acer Nitro V 15 (ANV15-51) MSI Thin GF63 (12Vx) Charger power 135W 120W Design and construction When it comes to construction, both laptops are made of plastic. The MSI model is both thinner and lighter, so we'll see if that has any negative effect on the performance. In terms of pure looks and aesthetics, the Nitro V 15 is the better laptop of the two, with a sleeker design and no fake brushed aluminum finish on the lid (seriously MSI, it's time for a change). Acer Nitro V 15 (ANV15-51) MSI Thin GF63 (12Vx) Weight 4.7 lbs (2.11 kg) 4.1 lbs (1.86 kg) Dimensions 14.26" x 9.44" x 0.90" (362.3 x 239.89 x 22.9 - 26.9 mm) 14.13" x 10.00" x 0.85" (359 x 254 x 21.7 mm) Keyboard and touchpad The Nitro V 15 has a lot of functionality built into the keyboard and touchpad. You can type endlessly on the board, as it's comfortable and has enough key travel, as well as a backlight. It's a bit shallow for gaming standards, however, keep in mind that this chassis was borrowed from Aspire 7. The touchpad has a fingerprint reader which doesn't interfere with the accuracy at all, something we're glad to see. As for the Thin GF63, the deck does show a bit of flex, but the board is more than usable, thanks to the clicky feedback. There's a red backlight, which helps during nighttime use. The touchpad is smooth, however, it moves around its housing, which is a first for us. The click that it makes is also quite loud. Ports The Nitro V 15 has 2 Type-A and 2 Type-C ports, while the Thin GF63 has 3 Type-A ports and 1 Type-C port. The Nitro also supports the newer HDMI 2.1 standard, which offer higher resolution and refresh rates, if you decide to pair the laptop with an external monitor.

However, you can upgrade the Nitro V 15 with a 165Hz Full HD IPS panel if you so choose.

The display on the Nitro V 15 gets slightly brighter while having a higher contrast ratio too. The color temperature is also closer to 6500K that's optimal for sRGB creator work.

The whole "sail-shaped" map below consists of all the colors we can see, while the black crooked line shows all the colors from real-world scenes and nature around us. Then, we've drawn some of the most important and interesting color spaces, compared to the colors that the panels of the laptops can display: Standard/For Web: sRGB - widely used color space for most consumer devices, ideal for Web design and development For Print: AdobeRGB - used in professional photo editing, graphic design, and print For Photographers/Video Editors: DCI-P3 - used in high-end film production, post-production, and digital cinema Premium HDR: Rec.2020 - the widest consumer ITU color standard, covering a massive 75.8% of the visible spectrum, a benchmark for premium HDR content The yellow dotted line shows the color coverage of the Acer Nitro V 15 (ANV15-51) and the MSI Thin GF63 (12Vx). Full HD IPS panel Acer Nitro V 15 (ANV15-51) MSI Thin GF63 (12Vx) sRGB 56% 56% DCI-P3 44% 44% Color accuracy Now let's see how big is the difference between the real colors and the ones you’ll see on the three laptops. We measure that distance in DeltaE – the bigger the number, the more different they look. For the next illustration, we’ve chosen 24 common colors like dark and light skin, blue sky, green grass, etc. Below you can see the results of the two laptops with our Web Design and Office Work profile applied. Both laptops aren't accurate enough for professional design work, but the Acer Nitro V 15 is slightly more accurate with a dE of 3.0. Acer Nitro V 15 (ANV15-51) 15.6″ Innolux N156HRA-EA1 (CMN1521) (1920 x 1080) IPS: Buy our profiles MSI Thin GF63 (12V) 15.6″ AUO B156HAN15.1 (AUOD0A2) (1920 x 1080) IPS: Buy our profiles PWM Pulse Width Modulation or flickering, is a way for displays to adjust brightness. By constantly switching on and off with a high frequency, you get less light into your eyes, thus perceiving the display as darker and more dim. However, this has its drawbacks, as while you don't distinguish the flickers, your eyes do and constantly have to adjust their aperture, which can cause headaches and tire the eye itself. Thankfully, both displays show no PWM usage across all brightness levels. Sound Both laptops have their speakers positioned in the same location, on the bottom panel. Quality is good on both devices, with clear sound and no deviations across the entire frequency range. Performance - CPU, GPU, Gaming, Storage Here we've highlighted the exact components that each configuration uses. Acer Nitro V 15 (ANV15-51) MSI Thin GF63 (12Vx) Processor Intel Core i7-13620H Intel Core i5-13420H Intel Core i7-12650H Intel Core i5-12450H GPU NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 (Laptop) NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 (Laptop, 65W, 6GB) NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 (Laptop, 45W) NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 (Laptop, 45W) CPU benchmarks The Core i5-13420H is 2% faster in Cinebench R23 and 0.1 seconds quicker in Photoshop. GPU benchmarks Comparing the RTX 3050 to the 4050, we see the performance gains that the 4050 makes. It's 30%, 43%, 20%, and 45% faster in 3DMark Time Spy, Fire Strike, Wild Life, and Unigine Superposition, respectively.

[eBook Guide + Tools] How to MAX OUT your Laptop If you want to maximize the performance of your laptop, our MAX OUT guides are tailored to each model. They give you upgradeability tips, as well as teach you how to overclock and undervolt your components so you can extract the best performance out of them. Disassembly and upgrades The two laptops provide ample upgradeability. The Nitro V 15 has two SODIMM slots and two M.2 slots, one Gen 4 and one Gen 3. As for the MSI laptop, it also has two SODIMM slots, one M.2 slot, and a SATA slot for either an SSD or a hard drive. Verdict Ultimately, the two laptops have their shortcomings, however, one of them manages to still offer a good enough package for gaming and general use for a low price. The Nitro V 15 is the better notebook of the two, with a better design, a fingerprint reader, better port selection, and longer battery life. While the MSI Thin GF63 is pretty thin and has a more powerful GPU, however, the RTX 4050 can be configured on the Nitro as well, so thanks to its better cooling setup (that second fan is worth its weight in gold) you can expect better gaming performance with the same GPU. Wrapping things up, we'd recommend the Acer Nitro V 15 over the MSI GF63.
