Save $ 200 on the Acer Nitro 5 Laptop

Give away games in a very nice package this year. Best Buy is selling the Acer Nitro 5 with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 Ti for $ 900. That’s $ 200 off the list price and a good deal for a gaming laptop with these specs.

The Nitro 5 features an eight-core, 16-thread Intel Core i7-11800H “Tiger Lake” with a boost at 4.6GHz. It has a 512GB NVMe SSD, 16GB of RAM, and the aforementioned RTX 3050 Ti. This is a full-featured RTX graphics card, including ray tracing and deep learning supersampling for an enhanced visual experience.

That said, the 3050 Ti is an entry-level 1080p graphics card, which means that may play graphics intensive games. However, some of the extras like Nvidia HairWorks may need to be disabled. The good thing is that this laptop has a 1080p screen with a 144Hz refresh rate, so games should look pretty good even if you have to dim the effects.

This laptop also has a backlit keyboard, an Ethernet port, an HDMI 2.0 output, Wi-Fi 6, three standard USB ports with USB 3.2, and one Type-C with USB 3.2.

On top of all that, you get a free month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, so you’ll have a ton of great games to play for the first 30 days.
