£729. That’s how much this Acer Nitro 5 costs, brand new, from Argos of all places. In today’s inflated world, £729 is one of the cheapest gaming laptops on the market - certainly from a more reputable brand anyway, and with a reasonably modern spec. For that, you get an 8 core CPU, RTX GPU, and even a 144Hz display! What’s not to like then? Well, a lot. See, it’s really, really easy to mislead people with buzzwords and skewed specs. That “8 core CPU” is an i5 12450H, which has FOUR full-fat performance cores, and four low-power efficiency cores. That means that, in terms of performance, you have around 5 cores worth of performance, despite ‘having’ eight cores total. You also only get 8GB of RAM in this model, which as you’ll find out, really isn’t enough for modern triple A games. You also only get 512GB of SSD space, which can hold, like, three games. Maybe. As for that “RTX GPU”, it’s an RTX 4050 mobile with 6GB of VRAM and a 140W total graphics power rating - AKA the lowest end RTX GPU available. Oh, and that 144Hz display is a real ‘treat’ too… Despite all that, for the price tag, it’s pretty hard to argue this isn’t a decent amount of machine for your cash, right?
