The 2023 Acer Nitro V 15 has been Mashable's No. 1 cheap gaming laptop since last spring, with former tech editor Kim Gedeon calling its Triple-A power "impressive" and "damn good." In our performance benchmark, it scored on par with some gaming laptops twice its price. And in our graphics test, it beat out a similarly priced MSI laptop with a better GPU.
Right now, the Nitro V 15 is even cheaper than usual thanks to Amazon's Gaming Week sale, live now through May 4. As of April 30, the model with a 13th-generation Intel Core i7 processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 graphics, 16GB of memory, and 512GB of storage is down to just $699.99. (Our review unit had double the storage but was otherwise identical.) The same configuration has a $999.99 sticker price on Acer's website — ignore Amazon's advertised MSRP — so shoppers save $300, or an impressive 30%. According to the Amazon price-tracking site CamelCamelCamel, this is its biggest discount ever.

The Nitro V 15's power was the biggest highlight for Gedeon: "It can handle Cyberpunk 2077, one of the most graphics-intensive games on the market, like a champ," she wrote. That combined with its thermal design, silent keyboard, and understated design (for a gaming PC) helped it secure a Mashable Choice Award. It's not without its flaws — the biggest ones being a dim display and a chassis that loves retaining fingerprints — but for the money, this is an excellent buy.

It's worth mentioning that Amazon has this labeled as a "limited-time deal," so there's a good chance it won't hang around until the very end of its Gaming Week event. Consider adding it to your cart sooner rather than later.
