A PowerPoint slide from a recent Chinese retailer event was leaked on Twitter this week, pointing to Acer’s upcoming Nitro AN515-54 and AN517-51 gaming laptops will be featuring Intel 9th-gen Coffee Lake H-series processors and Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 1660 Ti and soon-to-be-released GTX 1650 graphics cards.
However, there have already been several leaks regarding the allegedly incoming GeForce GTX1650, which will be the lowest-end Turing offering – and this certainly backs up those leaks.
Apparently, the 2019 Acer Nitro AN515-54 laptop will offer GTX 1660 Ti/1650/1050 GPU options. This not only confirms a mobile version of the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, but it also confirms the GeForce GTX 1650, which hasn’t even been announced by Nvidia in its desktop form yet. The laptop will feature a CPU from Intel’s Coffee-Lake-H series and comes with two display options: 15.6-inch IPS FHD 60 Hz or 144 Hz.

The 2019 Acer Nitro AN517-51 laptop will apparently allow shoppers to choose either a GeForce GTX 1660 Ti or GTX 1650 graphics solution. This larger device will also use a chip from Intel’s 9th Gen Coffee Lake lineup, and it will also have at least two displays to choose from 17.3-inch IPS FHD 60 Hz or 144 Hz.
With Nvidia’s apparent GTX 1650 launch creeping closer, we’re sure to hear more in the coming weeks about this entry-level card. And with Intel also gearing up for another refresh, April/May could be a great time for gamers on the go.
