Three new babies have joined the Nitro family, each with unique features to make your gaming experience unforgettable: the Nitro 18, the Nitro 16, and the slimmer Nitro 16S. And for those who prefer desktops, Acer has also unveiled the Nitro 20.
The Nitro 18, with its 18-inch WQXGA (Wide Quad Extended Graphics Array) panel, boasts up to 2560 x 1600 resolution, a dizzying 165Hz refresh rate, and a vivid 100% DCI-P3 color gamut.
Meanwhile, the Nitro 16 and its slimmer sibling, the Nitro 16S, are equipped with WQXGA displays that offer a faster 180Hz refresh rate and a bright 400 nits of peak brightness. Known for their modern and slim design that measures less than 19.9mm thin, these models sport a metal chassis to provide an even more premium feeling.
All these new Nitro AI laptops are Copilot+ PCs and can be equipped with up to AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 processors. And let's not forget the powerhouse, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPUs that these laptops pack.
As for storage, the Nitro 16S AI and its cousin, the Nitro V 16S AI, offer up to 32GB of DDR5 dual memory and PCIe Gen 4 SSDs as big as 2 TB.
The entry-level Nitro AI series laptop isn't far behind, sporting the same features as its bigger siblings but with smaller specifications.
For those who prefer desktop gaming, the budget-friendly Nitro 20 is in the works. It boasts an AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 processor based on the new "Zen 5" architecture, which ensures low power consumption and responsive gaming. Additionally, it includes an Intel Core i5-13420H desktop processor option for even more versatility.
At just 15 liters, the Nitro 20 is designed for easy maneuvering. A fingerprint sensor integrated into its power button gives it an added layer of security, while Wi-Fi 6E and LAN ensure quick network connections. There's even an impressive offering of nine USB Type-C and Type-A ports both in the front and back for convenience.
The Nitro 20 will be available in Europe starting in July at a price of €899. Sadly, there's currently no U.S. pricing or availability announced.
