Acer unveils affordable quad-core Intel Tiger Lake-H35 gaming laptops
Without waiting for Intel’s official announcement at CES 2021, Acer has unveiled the first Nitro 5 gaming laptops based on the new Tiger Lake-H35 processors. These chips offer a higher level of performance than the energy-efficient Tiger Lake-U released in September last year: they are also limited to four cores but have a higher TDP of 35W.
One of the Acer Nitro 5 models offers an Intel Core i7-11370H as the basis, the other – a slightly less powerful Intel Core i5-11300H. Both chips are quad-core. Laptops are aimed at the gaming audience’s undemanding segment and therefore are equipped with far from the fastest discrete graphics accelerator GeForce GTX 1650. Recall that this video card began to be used in the mobile segment two years ago. Still, NVIDIA, it seems, is not going to abandon such available solutions that lack hardware acceleration of ray tracing.
Model Acer Nitro 5 (AN515-56-72KT NH.QAMEH.005) based on Intel Core i7-11370H is equipped with a 15.6-inch IPS-display with Full HD resolution, with a refresh rate of 144 Hz, has 16 GB of RAM DDR4 and 512GB NVMe storage. As mentioned above, the laptop is ready to offer a discrete GeForce GTX 1650 accelerator with 4 GB of dedicated GDDR6 video memory as a graphics subsystem.
The novelty also supports wireless technologies Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5 and is equipped with an HD webcam with two microphones. In stand-alone mode, the laptop runs on a 57 Wh battery.
