The Acer Nitro N50-610 is a gaming PC that doesn’t cost the earth, with change for £1,000. When most gaming systems command huge prices and don’t necessarily offer good value, this system stands out.
Acer’s latest machine, the N50-610 to be precise, does make compromises to hit its low price– so let’s find out if this budget option is a genuine bargain or if you’d be better off spending a little more on a better machine.
Design & Build
The Acer Nitro N50 uses the same underlying chassis as the Acer Predator Orion 3000, which means sturdy metal and plastic throughout alongside a modest 392mm height and 175mm width. Those humble dimensions mean that the Nitro can be placed into compact home configurations and easily transported, and the impressive build quality ensures that this rig will withstand frequent trips.
The Nitro differs from its stablemate aesthetically. The Acer Nitro N50 has a front panel with black metal, gunmetal grey plastic and a slashed indent that glows with red lighting. The front of the Acer has single USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A and Type-C ports and two audio jacks, which is reasonable connectivity – and they’re not hidden behind a flimsy door.
It’s certainly not ugly, but this cheaper Acer looks a little immature, and it’s not as eye-catching as the Predator. The Nitro misses out on exterior features, too – the more expensive Acer has RGB LEDs, a handle, and a headphone holder.
On the inside, the Acer Nitro N50 is underwhelming, with bare metal and untidy cabling. When it comes to upgrading, there’s a single drive bay for 2.5in and 3.5in hardware and a couple of spare memory slots, but that’s it. This PC is not supposed to be opened. There’s another rival that looms over this PC and the Predator Orion 3000 – literally.
