I'm a big advocate for 14-inch gaming laptops, especially in recent years with globetrotting travels to events like IFA in Berlin, where Acer had previously made a bizarre decision to market its last-gen Acer Nitro V 14 to "women and casual gamers." Thankfully, that unusual notion has been rightfully left in the dust, as the new Nitro V 14 AI joins a range of entry-level gaming laptops with 15, 16, and even 17-inch variants unveiled at CES 2025 in Las Vegas.
The Nitro V 14 AI is set for a June release as a refreshed 16:10 budget gaming laptop with what Acer calls a "pearl-like finish" (a fancy way of saying white.) Prices for the US aren't currently set in stone, but €1,299 for Europe hints at a $1,299 MSRP since cost-shifting conversions don't generally happen for those across the pond.
