    Acer Nitro V 16 in-depth review

    The gap between the Acer Predator devices and their Nitro siblings is getting smaller year after year. This is quite good, but some Nitro machines aren't budget offerings anymore since they are full of powerful hardware and other useful extras. Not all hope is lost because the V-series of the Nitro lineup is striking the laptop market with devices that boast modern hardware at a fair price. In 2023, we saw that the Acer Nitro V 15 (ANV15-51) is a well-performing machine with some compromises here and there. Specs-wise, the Nitro V 16 (ANV16-41) looks even better with its Zen 4 Hawk Point-HS CPUs, tons of GPU options (including some RTX 4000 chips), and good upgradability.

    Disassembly, maintenance and upgrade options

    Opening the DeviceUndo the 11 Phillips-head screws securing the bottom panel. Carefully raise the bottom panel while holding firmly the two plastic exhausts on the rear. The panel should be fully popped to the level of the LAN connector. Avoid pushing too hard to prevent breaking the panel. Use a thin plastic tool to pry the rest of the panel, including the front side. Alternatively, lift the plate near one of the top two corners to open a small gap, then pry and lift the back and work your way around the other sides.More info: On the inside of the bottom plate, there [...]
