Full Throttle Performance
Ideal for powering through the most demanding applications for both work and play, V Nitro Black Edition models come equipped with an SV (standard voltage) 4th Generation Intel Core i7-4710HQ Quad Core processor for maximum power. Acer also included the Nvidia® GeForce GTX 860M graphics for powerful performance and smooth game play. It is up to 60 percent faster than Nvidia’s previous generation GPUs. Various models include 8GB, 12GB or 16GB of memory. Dual wireless antennas supporting both 2.4GHz and 5GH frequencies enable speedy Internet connections.

In addition, fast 128GB or 256GB solid state drives provide fast wake times and rapid access to files, movies, songs and photos and/or up to a 1TB hard disk drive for storing massive amounts of multimedia files.

With BYOC Apps, users can sync wirelessly to other devices and get access to their digital files anytime, anywhere.


Keep it Cool
To keep the notebook running cool and at optimum performance, V 17 Nitro Black Edition models include Acer DustDefender⁽¹⁾, a unique dust removal system that uses a high-speed fan with thin metal blades to remove dust build-up, improve heat dissipation and minimize noise. The fan blades utilize an ingenious dust propelling mechanism at an extremely high speed to vastly improve air flow around high-performance components. By removing dust and maintaining a cool temperature, Acer DustDefender ensures performance is consistent, enhances user comfort and extends the notebook’s lifecycle. In addition, Acer includes its new CoolBoost technology app⁽¹⁾ that lets consumers make adjustments to the fans’ airflow. A Turbo Mode option delivers maximum fan speed and cooling power when heavy use requires an added boost.



The Ultimate Entertainment Experience
Top of the line entertainment features make the V Nitro Black Edition notebooks the ideal home entertainment system for gaming and watching the latest movies. Full high-definition displays with IPS technology provide brilliant, crisp visuals and wide viewing angles, while Acer Comfy View, a non-glare display, helps reduces eye fatigue. Four built-in speakers (8W total output) combine with Dolby Digital Plus Home Theater™ for powerful surround sound for gaming, movies and music. Various models in the V 17 line include either a Blu-ray Disc drive for a crystal clear movie experience or an 8X DVD Super Multi Double Layer Drive that is M-DISC⁽⁴⁾ enabled and can be used to save medical records, photos, video and data for up to 1,000 years. M-DISC™ is resistant to extreme conditions of light, temperature, humidity and more. It cannot be overwritten, erased or corrupted by natural processes.

For connecting with friends, family or fellow gamers, Skype Certification delivers crystal clear and instant communications. Optimized hardware ensures every word will be heard clearly with no gap or lag in speech, minimal background noise and zero echo.


Sharp Angles, Curved Hinges, Glossy and Matte Finishes Create a Sophisticated, Modern Design
With a sleek, thin profile, Aspire V Nitro notebooks have a clean modern design. Sharp angles, a beautifully curved glossy hinge and a matte cover offer a contrasting yet visually balanced appearance. The lid is covered with a unique soft-touch material made with NIL (Nanoimprint Lithography) technology. This durable and refined finish includes an intricate pattern to deliver a sophisticated aesthetic and distinct tactile feel. The soft illumination from a spacious and comfortable backlit keyboard makes navigation simple and completes the V Nitro’s modern design.
