Acer Nitro V 15 Intel Core 5 210H, 1x16GB DDR4, 1TB SSD / RTX5050 8GB + Delivery / $0 C&C @ Harvey Norman
If you're hunting for the cheapest way into an RTX 5050 gaming laptop right now, this Acer Nitro V 15 at $1398 (plus delivery, or free click & collect at Harvey Norman) is about as low as it's going to get — especially with GPU, RAM and SSD prices all climbing.
- 75W RTX 5050, Intel Core 5 210H (12 threads), 1TB SSD and a handy Thunderbolt 4 port — and the RAM, SSD and Wi-Fi are all upgradable down the track
- Just be honest with yourself about the screen: it's bright enough, but the colours are pretty ordinary, so it's best suited to casual gaming rather than creative work
- One heads-up: it ships with a single 16GB DDR4 stick and a fully plastic build with a so-so backlit keyboard, so factor in a cheap second RAM stick if you want dual-channel performance
- The salesperson claimed the sale ends tonight — could be a nudge, but with prices rising, waiting probably won't save you anything
Grab it if you want the cheapest RTX 5050 rig going — just don't expect premium trimmings at this price.
