Chassis, connections, screen of the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-58-98QA

Cil has a clearly gamer appearance with its angular black design with the connectors positioned partly on the back.

The connectivity integrated into this multimedia creator gaming laptop PC is good, including 1 USB-C Thunderbolt 4, Ethernet and audio ports, Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi 6 ax wireless modules for communicating and connecting remotely, an output practical HDMI video to easily connect it to a TV or monitor for example but also 3 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) providing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are plugged into it.

The chiclet keyboard obviously has a backlighting solution.
Simply activate it whenever you need to better discern your keys.

The screen represents a major asset of this configuration. It will appeal to gamers with its refresh rate of 165Hz, higher than the standard 60Hz, to provide much better fluidity in games and more generally in everyday life.
As a bonus, it offers great DCI-P3 color accuracy as well as 2.5K High Definition that creative people will also appreciate.
Suitable for videos due to its 16:9 format, the screen has an anti-reflective coating ensuring better visibility in bright environments (e.g. outdoors) than a shiny panel.

Performance, autonomy of the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-58-98QA

The Acer Nitro 5 AN515-58-98QA may appeal to those who wish to acquire a versatile 15-inch High Definition & Fidelity multimedia laptop that performs well in multimedia-oriented gaming.

It delivers solid overall performance that will delight demanding users.
Because it is built around 16 GB of RAM and a Core i9-12900H processor, certainly an older generation Intel Alder Lake, but which still holds its own with its 14 hybrid cores and its integrated Iris Xe graphics solution.

The potential of these components is particularly revealed in areas requiring RAM and CPU resources using multi-cores, such as video editing, 3D rendering or photo editing. Under this type of work, processing is carried out more quickly than a PC based on a classic Quad/Hexa Core.

Creators will appreciate this laptop even more as it features the dedicated GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card.
Because it provides graphics acceleration of multimedia processing under software that takes advantage of GPU computing power, such as the Adobe suite, VSDC or Vegas.

High-end, the GeForce RTX 4060 ray tracing is a dedicated NVIDIA Ada Lovelace graphics card which will also interest gamers.
Thanks to the GeForce RTX 4060, we can indeed play recent games.
However, concessions are necessary under the most demanding opuses in 3D resources to obtain good playability. Because a greater number of calculations are necessary in 2.5K than in Full HD, which results in a lower number of fps.

In practice, the GeForce RTX 4060 is used by NVIDIA Optimus technology to carry out graphics processing deemed too heavy for the Iris Xe.
With one or the other, you can obviously watch photos and videos.

On the other hand, despite its significantly lower performance, the Iris Xe is favored as much as possible by Optimus to offer the best possible autonomy because it consumes little energy.
In terms of autonomy, expect around 5 hours of battery operation in light use.

Depending on needs, Optimus automatically switches in real time between the Iris Xe and the GeForce RTX 4060.

The storage is up to this relatively balanced configuration since it is entrusted to an SSD with a high capacity of 1000 GB to accommodate quantities of games, software and files. Including personal creations if desired.

You can quickly access online game cards thanks to the SSD and launch games/software, perform processing and start/stop quickly.

Because an SSD provides great responsiveness and fluidity on a daily basis because it is fast, in addition to being robust, silent and energy efficient.

Finally, this versatile multimedia gaming laptop PC makes itself heard and heats up when it is heavily used (e.g. games, treatments).
If necessary, we can associate it with a ventilated support to limit its temperatures (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
