Acer’s new gaming laptops seem budget-friendly, but they don’t have US prices or launch dates.

Acer announced four new gaming laptops for its entry-level Nitro line, each configurable with Nvidia RTX 5060 or 5070 Ti GPUs, but none of them have US pricing or availability. Likely due to tariff uncertainty, Acer’s press release says, “US availability and pricing to be announced closer to local availability.”

We don’t know when that will be, but for now Acer announced EU pricing (see image gallery).
