Hey everyone! I’m running into a few issues with my Acer Nitro V from 2019, and I’m wondering if it’s time to move on or if there are any fixes I could try. The main problems are that the battery is toast (doesn’t charge), and I’m struggling with low graphics and frame rates in games like Fortnite and Rocket League. I’m hitting around 30fps at 1080p on low settings. Additionally, I often face packet loss and latency issues—might be due to the old WiFi chip?
I’m looking at the Asus G14 with a 4060 GPU and aiming to keep my budget around $1,000. Any thoughts or better suggestions? Thanks!

I’m still rocking a GTX 860m! But honestly, upgrading to that 4060 would be like moving from a bicycle to a sports car. Highly recommend it if you want better performance.
Honestly, sounds like your old laptop is on its last legs. In my opinion, it’s better to invest in a new one now rather than pouring money into repairs. Your laptop’s GPU, the 1050 Ti, is really outdated by today’s standards. Anything within the $1,000 range, like a 4060, would be an incredible upgrade and improve your gaming experience massively.
I hear you. If your laptop is still functional for non-gaming stuff, maybe get a cheap battery replacement for around $25 so you can use it for everyday tasks. Then, invest in a new gaming rig for when you wanna play. There are loads of great deals out there in your price range, and the Asus G14 seems like a solid pick.
Definitely consider getting the Asus G14. With the right specs, it should handle all your gaming needs much better than your current laptop. It’s a reliable choice for your budget.
