Overview

16-inch gaming laptop

A slim gaming laptop pairing Ryzen AI processors with GeForce RTX graphics. Its 16:10 display offers room for games, editing timelines and everyday work.

  • 115 W graphics power

    Acer lists up to 115 W maximum graphics power, including Dynamic Boost, for both the RTX 5060 and RTX 5070 configurations. Nvidia’s listed range for both GPUs tops out at 100 W, so these are full-power versions, with Dynamic Boost supplying the extra 15 W.

  • QHD IPS display

    The catalogued configurations have a matte 2560×1600 IPS display with NVIDIA G-SYNC to reduce tearing during games.

  • Two SSD slots

    Two M.2 slots allow an additional SSD alongside the original drive, providing room to expand a game library or project storage.

Both tracked GPUs have 8 GB

The RTX 5060 and RTX 5070 configurations both have 8 GB of dedicated GPU memory. Moving to the RTX 5070 does not add VRAM for larger game textures or creative projects.
