The Acer Nitro 14 is a QHD gaming notebook with decent thermals and 18 hours of battery life

With the Nitro 14, Acer is offering a compact mid-range gaming notebook. The required performance is driven by an AMD Zen 4 CPU (Hawk Point) and an Nvidia Ada Lovelace GPU. Our review unit is priced at €1,450 (approx. US$1,600), whereas the base model is available for €1,400 (US$1,550).

The Ryzen 5 8645HS and GeForce RTX 4060 (8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM) equip the laptop for streaming, rendering and, of course, gaming. The CPU has access to 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM in dual-channel mode. The memory is soldered and thus non-upgradable. The built-in PCIe 4.0 M.2-2280 SSD offers a rather meagre amount of storage – users should be able to expect more from a laptop costing €1,450 (US$1,600). The notebook doesn’t offer an additional slot for a second SSD.

The laptop’s hardware can run all current games smoothly on the display. In general, you can utilise the display's full resolution (2,560 x 1,600) at max settings. The bright, matt 14.5-inch IPS panel (120Hz, sRGB and G-Sync support) has a productivity-friendly 16:10 aspect ratio and made a great impression overall.

The Nitro 14 can realistically last around 10 to 14 hours on a single charge of its 76-Wh battery, which, commendably, can be charged using either the included proprietary Acer power adapter (230 watts) or a universal USB-C charger, as the two USB-C connectors (1x USB4, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2) support Power Delivery in addition to DisplayPort Alt Mode.
