We have tested the new one for you Acer Nitro 17a laptop dedicated to those who cannot give up gaming, even on the move, was presented at CES 2023, and represents the flagship solution dedicated to those who want a product that is ready for anything.
We specify that it is a Hands-On, or rather a preview test, the product in question is not yet in the definitive version, which is why it has not entered the commercial production lines, take these first impressions precisely as such, not being able to conduct in-depth specific tests. But now, the time has come to get to the heart of the article.
Design and Construction | Preview Acer Nitro 17
Made entirely of plastic, compared to the choice of aluminum as for the new Swift range, it has a solid structure overall. Of good construction, it is resistant to stresses, general, accepting the limits of such a large panel, 17 inches make the upper display body that can flex or tilt slightly if too much stress.
The structure is obviously impressive, we are talking about a fairly important weight, previous models stood at 2.20/2.40 kg in total weight, in this model we have tried to optimize this aspect as much as possible. Weight which, however, is justified for what it carries inside.
The new Nitros are equipped with two large fans, and four slits located on the sides and on the back, an air intake at the top, a particular choice was the new liquid metal-based thermal paste, a wise choice to promote cooling during the most intense gaming sessions . The liquid metal brings with it its advantages and its risks, but made internally by the company it is a guarantee, and which certainly offers greater performance than the classic thermal paste.
Each notebook in the Nitro range has been equipped with specific software, dedicated to the most control “nerds”, that is NitroSense and a key Dedicated NitroSense, which allows for monitor platform temperatures, adjust fan speeds, OC settings, and more.
Like all the new Nitro series, here Acer Nitro 17 we find it equipped with Intel Core HX processors up to 13th generation, all the power of the Nitro 17 is enclosed in a chassis that comes with measures of 400.20 x 293.25 x 27.9/28.9 mmfor about 17.3 inches and 165Hz panel.
