Acer Nitro 16S AI R77X AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 RTX 5060 8GB 16GB DDR5 1TB SSD 16-inch WQXGA 2560×1600 180Hz Gaming Laptop

Acer Nitro 16S AI R77X Price in Nepal & Overview

The Acer Nitro 16S AI R77X is a 2025 gaming laptop built around AMD’s latest Krackan Point processor and NVIDIA’s Blackwell RTX 5060 GPU, positioned as a thinner, AI-forward alternative to bulkier gaming laptops at this price point.
Available at our Kathmandu showrooms for Rs. 242,000, it delivers a QHD+ (2560×1600) 180Hz display, liquid metal thermal grease on both the CPU and GPU die for better sustained thermal performance, and a 2-year official warranty.
Three honest things to know before buying: the RTX 5060 in this laptop runs at 85W TGP — lower than the 115W configuration found in thicker gaming laptops like the Lenovo Legion 5 or ASUS TUF F16. This means real-world GPU performance sits meaningfully below what a full-power RTX 5060 delivers in a larger chassis. It is still a strong 1080p–1440p GPU, just not the same as a 115W variant. Also, the Ryzen AI 7 350 uses Zen 5C (compact) cores — efficient and capable, but with slightly lower per-core IPC than the full Zen 5 cores found in the higher-end Strix Point chips. And the 76Wh battery delivers around 4 hours under active use — this is a gaming machine, not an all-day productivity laptop.

Who This Laptop Is For

This laptop suits gamers, content creators, and students who want a QHD+ 1440p-class display and current-generation Blackwell GPU in a thinner, lighter chassis than traditional gaming laptops — and who value the 2-year warranty and liquid metal cooling over raw maximum GPU wattage.
The WQXGA 2560×1600 IPS panel at 180Hz is a meaningful display upgrade over the 1080p panels found on competing gaming laptops at this price range — it is not OLED, but the sharpness at QHD+ resolution paired with 180Hz makes it a strong dual-purpose screen for gaming and creative work.
However, buyers who prioritize maximum GPU performance should be clear-eyed: the 85W RTX 5060 in this thinner chassis delivers less raw frame output than the same GPU at 115W in thicker laptops like the Lenovo LOQ 15AHP10 or ASUS TUF Gaming F16. If maximizing GPU wattage matters more than display quality and chassis weight, those alternatives are worth comparing directly.

Upgrade Options

The Nitro 16S AI R77X ships with 16GB of DDR5-5600 RAM and supports expansion to 32GB. For storage, two M.2 slots are present — the primary holds the 1TB SSD, and the second slot is free for adding a second drive without replacing the original.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Acer Nitro 16S AI R77X is priced at Rs. 242,000 at Alam Tech, Kathmandu, including a 2-year official warranty.

What is the RTX 5060 TGP in the Acer Nitro 16S AI?
The RTX 5060 in the Nitro 16S AI runs at 85W TGP. This is lower than the 115W configuration found in thicker gaming laptops. Performance is strong for 1080p and light 1440p gaming, but buyers expecting full-wattage RTX 5060 performance should factor in this difference.

What is the display resolution of the Acer Nitro 16S AI R77X?
It features a 16-inch WQXGA (2560×1600) IPS display at 180Hz — a QHD+ resolution panel with a 16:10 aspect ratio. This is different from the Nitro V 16S AI, which has a lower WUXGA (1920×1200) display.
