CES 2018: Acer's Nitro 5 Switches to AMD Ryzen Power |
Acer takes advantage of CES 2018 to announce a new version of the Nitro 5, its laptop for gamer occasional or focused on the eSport, doped with AMD Ryzen chips.
Among the new Acer laptops present in Las Vegas, there is "the finest in the world" Swift 7 but also-and thicker, the Nitro 5 version 2018. Like his counterpart announced in New York last spring, this computer is first and foremost a machine for video game gamers practiced in the eSport sphere (Overwatch, DoTA 2, LoL, CS: GO).
Here, and unlike the competition, Intel Core i5 or Core i7 processor point. These are two AMD Ryzen processors announced this fall that are at work, as well as an AMD Radeon graphics card. AMD at all for gaming at Acer? A long time ago we had not seen that!
Low-power processors for gaming?

In 15.6-inch format and robust appearance, the housing of the Nitro 5 is adorned with a plastic imitation carbon fiber coating and a few touches of red, gaming requires. On the sides of the machine are USB 3.0, USB Type-C, HDMI 2.0 video output, a network jack (10/1000) and traditional audio connectivity.
Acer has communicated to us the two configurations that will be on sale in France from April, from around 900 euros. The only difference between these versions will be the AMD processor: a Ryzen 5 2500U in the most affordable and a Ryzen 7 2700U in the most expensive version. A rather strange choice since, at their launch, AMD rather destined these two chips "low consumption" to the markets of laptops 14 and 15.6 inches of thin thickness.
For the rest, the datasheet shows the presence of 8 GB of DDR4 memory, a Radeon RX 560X graphics card, a 128 GB SSD and a 1 TB hard drive.
