Acer has unveiled a refreshed Nitro gaming lineup featuring the portable V 16S laptop and two high-resolution gaming monitors, targeting casual and new gamers with powerful hardware at competitive price points.

The new products combine modern gaming technology with reasonable pricing, offering alternatives to premium gaming systems while maintaining solid performance and visual quality.

The Nitro V 16S (ANV16S-71) leads the refresh with a slim metal chassis measuring less than 19.9mm thick, making it highly portable for gaming on the go.

Powered by up to Intel Core 7 processor 240H and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU, it supports DLSS 4 and neural rendering for responsive gameplay and content creation.

The laptop’s WUXGA (1920×1200) display delivers 100% sRGB colour coverage and 180Hz refresh rate, ensuring accurate colours and ultra-smooth frames.

A striking 4-zone RGB keyboard adds visual appeal to the modern aesthetic.

NitroSense software enables real-time performance monitoring and fine-tuning of fan speeds for maximum cooling efficiency.

The Acer Experience Zone provides access to AI-powered apps that boost productivity and creativity.

Connectivity features include Intel Killer DoubleShot Pro for lag-free online gaming and Thunderbolt 4 for fast data transfer and seamless streaming.

The combination of features positions the V 16S as an entry point for new PC gamers or those upgrading from older systems.

Complementing the laptop, Acer introduced two new Nitro monitors offering immersive visuals across different formats and price points.

The Nitro XV270X targets gamers and streamers demanding ultra-high resolution, delivering 5K (5120×2880) clarity with a 2,000:1 contrast ratio.

The display features 1ms VRB response time and 95% DCI-P3 colour gamut for lifelike visuals, complemented by built-in 2W speakers.

For those seeking an expansive gaming experience, the Nitro XZ403CKR presents a massive 39.7-inch 1000R curved panel with 5K WUHD (5120×2160) resolution.

Its Dynamic Frequency Resolution (DFR) technology supports WFHD resolution at 288Hz, while 1ms VRB and 0.5ms GTG response times ensure fluid gameplay.

AMD FreeSync Premium support eliminates screen tearing, while 5W speakers and extensive port options complete the premium gaming experience.

The curved design enhances immersion, particularly in racing and flight simulation games.

The Acer Nitro V 16S will be available in Australia from Harvey Norman in September 2025, starting at $2,599.

This pricing positions it competitively against similar mid-range gaming laptops from ASUS TUF Gaming and MSI GF series.

The Nitro XV270X will launch in Q1 2026 at $1,499, while the larger XZ403CKR arrives the same quarter at $1,899.

Both monitors compete with high-resolution displays from Samsung Odyssey and LG UltraGear lines.

The refreshed Nitro lineup demonstrates Acer’s commitment to the mainstream gaming market, offering modern features like DLSS 4, high refresh rates, and 5K resolution at prices accessible to casual gamers and content creators who don’t require flagship specifications.
