Acer Nitro gaming laptop expansions and promotions

Overview

In mid‑July 2026, Acer unveiled the Nitro V 16 for the U.S. market at a starting price of $1,199. The notebook features an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5050 GPU, an Intel Core i5‑210H CPU, 8 GB DDR5 RAM, and a 16‑inch 1200p IPS panel. Concurrently, MSI offered its Thin 15 B13U in Japan at a 17% discount, while Acer’s summer promotion in Spain reduced flagship Predator Helios 18 AI prices by up to €700.

By late July, a semiconductor‑memory shortage impacted pricing. The Nitro V 16 appeared on Amazon Spain for €889, configured with an AMD Ryzen 7 260 processor, 16 GB DDR5 RAM, and an RTX 5050 GPU, sold without an operating system. In early August, Acer launched the Nitro V 16 AI in Japan with three configurations featuring AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 processors and RTX 5060 or 5070 GPUs.

Acer has since expanded the Nitro lineup with high-performance hardware. New models include the Nitro 16 (AN16 A91), equipped with an AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX3D processor, an NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti graphics card, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 240Hz 16-inch display. Additionally, a new Nitro V 16 AI configuration has been introduced, utilizing an AMD Ryzen 7 260 processor paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 GPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 180Hz 16-inch IPS display.
