Two New Acer Nitro Gaming Laptops Just Landed in the UAE

Acer has expanded its Nitro gaming lineup in the Middle East with two new laptops now available locally: Nitro Lite and Nitro V 16 Slim. The pitch is simple: slim designs, modern RTX graphics, and pricing that doesn’t instantly ruin your month. Availability covers the UAE and KSA, with UAE stock and pricing clearly listed, and KSA timing depending on the model.

If you’re shopping for a laptop that can handle esports, casual AAA gaming, and some creator work on the side, this is Acer trying to meet you halfway.

UAE and KSA pricing and availability

Acer says the new Nitro models are available in the UAE and KSA, with these prices and channels listed.

• UAE
  • Nitro Lite (RTX 3050 6GB): AED 3,299
  • Nitro Lite (RTX 4050 6GB): AED 3,699
  • Nitro V 16 Slim (RTX 5060): AED 5,899
  • Nitro V 16 Slim (RTX 5070): AED 6,999
• KSA
  • Nitro Lite (RTX 3050 6GB): SAR 2,999 (listed at eXtra)
  • Nitro Lite (RTX 4050 6GB): SAR 3,199 (listed at Jarir)
  • Nitro V 16 Slim (RTX 5070): March 2026 (availability stated)

Nitro Lite: slim, simple, and made to travel

Nitro Lite is Acer’s “gaming, but make it portable” option. It’s aimed at students, younger buyers, and anyone who wants a laptop that can work all day and play at night.

• Up to Intel Core i7
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 (6GB) or RTX 3050 (6GB)
• 16-inch FHD display
• Slim, lightweight design (positioned for portability)

This is the sort of laptop you buy when you want a dedicated GPU for games and creative apps, but you also want it to fit in a backpack without feeling like you’re carrying gym equipment.

Nitro V 16 Slim: more headroom for gaming and creative apps

Nitro V 16 Slim is the step-up model, and Acer is clearly aiming it at people who want more performance without jumping to a bulkier, pricier class of machine.

• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 or RTX 5070
• 16-inch display (positioned for “immersive” play)
• “Optimised thermal design” (built to hold performance in longer sessions)
• Positioned for higher-end creative software and heavier multitasking

Acer calls out ray tracing and AI-powered performance here, which is basically the modern laptop GPU checklist. If you’ve been watching RTX 50-series laptops show up around the UAE, you’ll recognise the direction: more models, more price tiers, and a lot of buyers trying to find the sweet spot. (If you’re bargain-hunting, this might help).

Which one should you buy?

If you’re stuck choosing, it mostly comes down to how hard you push games (and how much you care about headroom over the next couple of years).

• Pick Nitro Lite if:
  • You want a slimmer everyday laptop with real gaming ability
  • You mainly play esports titles, lighter AAA settings, or do casual creator work
  • You want the lowest price point in this launch
• Pick Nitro V 16 Slim if:
  • You want more performance buffer for modern games and heavier apps
  • You keep laptops for longer and hate upgrading early
  • You want RTX 5060/5070-class graphics in a slim design
