Acer Aspire V17 Nitro Review

Users looking for a common platform to run both office and multimedia applications often gravitate towards mid-segment processor and widescreen options. Acer’s Aspire V17 Nitro Black Edition model, which we will review today, is one of these laptop models.

Acer’s new model manages to be a model that attracts attention especially with its design. Aspire V17 Nitro Black Edition, which has a thin body, provides a different feel, especially with its back surface. The cover, which gives a soft touch feeling, has been processed with NIL technology , namely Nanoimprint Lithography technology. Thus, we think that users who want to have a special laptop with its design will like the V17 Nitro Black Edition from this aspect.

Aspire V17 Nitro Black Edition’s screen is 17.3 inches in size. The screen, which is covered with black matte material as it surrounds the entire design, thus prevents reflections. Let’s say that the screen consists of a TFT LCD panel. On the other hand, it uses LED backlights and offers Full HD resolution.

The keyboard, which lies just below the screen, has a numeric keypad on it. The lighting in the keyboard area, which has a large palm rest area, has not been forgotten. If you want, you can turn off these lights of the keyboard, which is decorated with red lighting. But it is a pity that no other color was offered. Only red color option is available for lighting.

Black Edition

The model of the V17 Nitro Black Edition is the Aspire VN7-791G . It should be noted that there are different models of the laptop with different configurations. The model we have examined is suitable for middle segment users. The device, which comes with an Intel i5 processor, works at a frequency of 2.9 GHz with its dual-core processor . However , it can improve up to 3.5 GHz in turbo mode . Working with 8 GB of RAM , the laptop offers support up to 16 GB for those who want to increase this space on demand.

The Aspire V17 Nitro Black Edition uses an external graphics processor as it serves the multimedia point. The capacity of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 860M graphics processor is 2 GB. In addition, another point we need to add about the Intel processor of the laptop, which also carries the Intel HD graphics unit, is that it was launched in the third quarter of 2014.

Laptop running Windows 8.1 operating system, 1 TB disk holder. Thus, it solves the large disk space. But it also doesn’t have an SSD on it. This option is offered in other models of the V17 Nitro Black Edition.

DustDefender

The V17 Nitro Black Edition is a satisfactory device in terms of use. The laptop, which comes with many useful applications, also runs an application called Acer DustDefender . With this application, you can clean the laptop’s ventilation duct. DustDefender can run the fans in the reverse direction to eliminate the dust that accumulates inside.

Another point we have to say about the V17 Nitro Black Edition is that it offers Dolby Digital Plus Home Theater audio support. Thus, the laptop, which can be used for movies and music enjoyment, also contains a DVD drive. By the way, let’s also say that there are two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 between its peripheral connections.

The result we got from the battery life impression of the Aspire V17 Nitro Black Edition was around 10 hours . If you plan to carry your laptop with you all the time, let’s say it is relatively heavy and around 3 kilograms.
