Best praise vs top criticism for Acer Nitro 16 AN16-41
“Considering all the issues with the LOQ, I went with the Acer Nitro 16, with the R7 7840HS and 4060, for about 1200 USD. The specs are really great for the price.”
“Msi katana is GARBAGE stay away from it. Nitro 16 with 4070 adds just too much extra for that extra 10~15% performance boost. I strongly suggest nitro 16 with 4060. Its build quality a lil bit better than loq, it has liquid metal on cpu so cooling should be a bit better too and tdp/tgp values of cpu and gpu is great in nitro 16. Performance will be rock solid.”
