Acer America Nitro V 16S Gaming Laptop 16" WUXGA 180Hz Ryzen 7 260 RTX 5060 32GB 1TB

Nitro V 16S 16-inch gaming laptop

The Acer Nitro V 16S is a 16-inch gaming laptop built around an AMD Ryzen 7 260 8-core processor that runs at a 3.8GHz base clock and can boost to 5.1GHz. It pairs that CPU with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 laptop GPU equipped with 8GB of GDDR7 memory. The system includes 32GB of DDR5 4800 RAM and a 1TB PCIe SSD. A 16.0-inch WUXGA IPS panel delivers a 1920 x 1200 resolution at 180Hz. Windows 11 Pro comes pre-installed.

180Hz WUXGA display and RTX 5060 upgrade

This configuration replaces a typical 60Hz panel and mid-range graphics card with a 180Hz WUXGA screen and the RTX 5060 8GB GDDR7 GPU. The jump is worth it when you play competitive titles that benefit from high refresh rates or when you need the extra video memory for modern textures. The 8-core Ryzen 7 260 also steps up from quad-core chips for smoother multitasking while gaming. The 32GB DDR5 4800 memory and 1TB PCIe SSD remove the need for immediate RAM or storage upgrades.

Ports power and connectivity checklist

Verify that the three USB-A 3.2 ports, one USB-C 3.2 port, HDMI output, RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet jack and MicroSD card reader match your peripherals and external displays. Confirm the 4-zone RGB backlit keyboard layout suits your preference. The chassis measures 14.08 x 10.39 x 0.79 inches and weighs 4.6 pounds, so ensure your bag or workspace accommodates those dimensions. Wireless connectivity uses Killer AX1650i Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth.
