Our Verdict

Dell G15 (2022)

Acer Nitro V 16 (2024)

The Acer Nitro V 16 (2024) and the Dell G15 (2022) are both budget gaming laptops. The Acer is newer, and its 40-series NVIDIA GPUs support Frame Generation, which can significantly boost gaming performance in games that support it. Neither laptop is particularly quiet under load, but the Acer manages to stay substantially cooler, resulting in a more pleasant gaming experience if you use the built-in keyboard. However, the Dell does offer a higher-refresh rate display, making it the better choice for competitive gaming titles where, as the old adage goes, frames win games.
