Plus, with 16GB of RAM and starting storage of 512GB, you'll have plenty of room for your games and files. The starting price of $900 makes it a seriously tempting option.
The standard Nitro V 16, available at various retailers, comes with either an Intel Core Ultra C5 210H or C7 240H CPU, 16GB of RAM, and up to 1TB of storage. The 16-inch display offers either a 165Hz or 180Hz refresh rate. Prices start at $1,000. It is great to see so many options.
