The 'admirable' Acer Nitro V15 with Intel Core i7 processor and RTX 5050 graphics is the perfect cheap photo and video editing laptop — and it's under £620 in Amazon’s Tech Week sale

If you're looking for a laptop that can handle demanding creative work, heavy multitasking, and modern graphics tasks without spending a fortune, the Acer Nitro V15 is a great choice and it's down to £619.99 (was £800) in Amazon's Tech Week sale.

In our four star review, we described the laptop as "admirable" and were especially impressed by the display. We were slightly concerned about the heat given off when playing top-tier games, but if you don't plan on running the latest AAA titles at the max settings, it will be fine.

Running on an Intel Core i7-13620H processor, the Nitro V15 has the speed needed for demanding applications, from photo and video editing software to large spreadsheets and development tools. With 10 cores and boost speeds reaching up to 4.9GHz, it handles sustained workloads without issue.

Backing that processor with 16GB of DDR4 RAM keeps everyday tasks smooth even when several demanding programs are open at once.

Graphics performance comes from Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5050 with 6GB of GDDR6 memory, giving this system real capability for rendering, video editing, and GPU-accelerated software. It won't be ideal for complex 4K video editing, but for general content creation, this is a great entry-level machine.

Nvidia’s DLSS Multi-Frame Generation adds another layer of performance by using AI to improve frame rates when workloads get demanding.

The 15.6-inch display, which was a clear highlight for us, delivers Full HD resolution at 1920 x 1080, keeping images sharp and readable across creative and professional tasks. A fast 165Hz refresh rate keeps motion smooth, which benefits video playback, animation previews, and fast-moving content.

For storage you get a 512GB SSD, which offers plenty of space for essential software, active projects, and frequently used files.

Wi-Fi 6 and gigabit Ethernet provide reliable connectivity, while HDMI and Thunderbolt 4 ports make it simple to connect external displays and accessories.

At £619.99, this is a great deal for a Core i7 laptop with RTX graphics, but you'll need to act fast as it won't stay this price for long.
