L'Acer Nitro 5 AN515-45-R5KV is a creator-oriented gamer laptop running Windows 11, featuring a 15" IPS Full HD anti-glare 144Hz screen for enhanced gaming fluidity, fast SSD storage for enhanced responsiveness, backlit keyboard and Wi-Fi ax and USB-C connectivity. This versatile notebook can handle the latest games thanks to its high-end NVIDIA Ampere GeForce RTX 3060 ray tracing graphics card, which accelerates multimedia processing, as does the AMD Ryzen 7 Cezanne Octo Core processor and powerful 16GB RAM.
The Acer Nitro 5 AN515-45-R5KV is currently available in promotion at Acer France and meeting very few competitors in its category where it is one of the few to run under Windows 11 and offer such a powerful processor with such a high screen frequency.
If this Acer Nitro 5 AN515-45-R5KV does not meet all your criteria, you will find on our guide Gamer laptop other configurations to play with a similar budget. With the same budget, choose the model with the most powerful graphics card, as it will have the most impact on performance.
Cooled by 2 fans, heat pipes and air vents, this notebook sports a distinctly gamer look with its black, angular design.
In terms of connectivity, this designer-oriented gamer laptop is well equipped with Bluetooth 5.1 and Wi-Fi ax wireless modules (more powerful and recent than Wi-Fi ac) for communication and remote connectivity, HDMI video output for easy connection to a TV or monitor, Ethernet and audio ports, USB-C and 3 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) for transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 peripherals are connected.
The chiclet keyboard can, of course, be backlit, which is very practical if you want to be able to see the keys better in the dark.

To appeal to gamers, the screen boasts a 144Hz frequency, which enhances fluidity in games compared to the standard 60Hz. Thanks to its IPS technology, the screen also boasts wide viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically. What's more, with its anti-reflective coating, it offers better visibility than a glossy slab in bright environments (e.g. outdoors). It's also ideal for displaying videos and, more generally, high-definition content, thanks to its 16:9 format and Full HD definition.
The Acer Nitro 5 AN515-45-R5KV may be of interest to those wishing to acquire a versatile 15-inch notebook with excellent gaming and creative performance.
Its overall performance will appeal to the most demanding users, as it is based on an AMD APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) processor. Cezanne Octo Core Ryzen 7 5800H coupled with 16 GB RAM.
In particular, this core guarantees much faster processing than a Quad/Hexa Core and 8 GB DDR4, with the difference being particularly noticeable in CPU- and RAM-intensive areas using multi-cores, such as video editing, 3D rendering and photo editing.
Creative users will be all the more interested in the GeForce RTX 3060 dedicated graphics card, which speeds up processing with multi-core software such as Adobe Premiere/Photoshop or Sony Vegas.
However, the top-of-the-range GeForce RTX 3060 ray tracing NVIDIA Ampere is aimed above all at gamers, as it is capable of running the latest games.
In practice, the GeForce RTX 3060 is automatically activated in real time by NVIDIA Optimus technology, depending on the task in hand.
Optimus gives maximum preference to the Radeon Vega 8 solution integrated in the Octo Core Ryzen 7, even though its performance is much more modest, since it is energy-efficient, which favors autonomy. The GeForce RTX 3060 is therefore activated by Optimus to perform graphics processing that is too heavy for the Radeon Vega 8. With either of these graphics solutions, it is of course possible to view photos and videos.
SSD storage clearly enhances everyday responsiveness and fluidity compared with a simple hard disk, because it's quieter, more energy-efficient, more shock-resistant and much faster.
In concrete terms, the SSD guarantees faster arrival on the online gaming map, for example, or much faster game/software launch, processing and start/stop times.
Here we find a 512 GB SSD, a capacity in line with the hard disk standard. However, if more space is required, an external storage device can be used. Opting for a USB-C/USB 3.0 peripheral represents an interesting solution for fast transfers.
Finally, in terms of battery life, you can expect around 5 hours of operation on battery power with light use for this versatile, creator-oriented gamer laptop, which does get a little loud and hot under heavy use (e.g. gaming, processing), but at controlled levels.
A ventilated support can be used as required to limit temperatures (in this case, be sure to check the dimensions!
