The Acer Nitro 7 AN715 Series is a mid-range gaming laptop line Acer sold from 2019 through 2020, aimed at gamers and students who wanted dedicated NVIDIA graphics and a 144Hz display without paying Predator-line prices. The lineup spans two generations, the 9th Gen Intel AN715-51 and the 10th Gen Intel AN715-52, both built around the same aluminum-topped chassis and red-backlit keyboard Acer used across the Nitro family. Because the GPU options ranged from a GTX 1650 up to an RTX 2060, resale value on this series varies more by configuration than by cosmetic condition alone. If you have one sitting in a drawer, it still has real trade-in value, especially in the higher GPU tiers. Pick your processor, graphics card and condition in the picker above for a live cash offer, or see how the process works before you commit. You can also browse other models if this isn't quite your machine.

Confirm you have the Acer Nitro 7 AN715

The fastest way to confirm your exact configuration is the sticker on the underside of the chassis, which lists the full model number (AN715-51-xxxx or AN715-52-xxxx). If the sticker is worn, press Windows key + R, type msinfo32, and press Enter to see the system model under "System Summary." Running dxdiag instead will also show you the installed graphics card, which matters more than almost anything else for your quote.

AN715-51 (2019)

  • 9th Gen Intel Core i7 processor
  • GTX 1650, GTX 1650 Ti or GTX 1660 Ti graphics
  • Sub-variants include AN715-51-752B, AN715-51-77D0 and AN715-51-796C

AN715-52 (2020)

  • 10th Gen Intel Core i5 or Core i7 processor
  • GTX 1650, GTX 1660 Ti or RTX 2060 graphics
  • Sub-variants include AN715-52-78D5 and AN715-52-54YB

Prefer a visual check? Both years share the same brushed-metal lid with the Nitro logo and red hinge accent. Flip it over: the model number on the sticker starts with AN715-51 or AN715-52, and the vent layout on the underside is dense and split across two large exhaust panels rather than one.

Core hardware configurations

Processor

  • 9th Gen Intel Core i7 (AN715-51)
  • 10th Gen Intel Core i5 (AN715-52)
  • 10th Gen Intel Core i7 (AN715-52)

Graphics

  • NVIDIA GTX 1650 or 1650 Ti
  • NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti
  • NVIDIA RTX 2060

The GPU is the single biggest factor in what this laptop is worth today. An RTX 2060 unit clears higher than a GTX 1650 unit even in the same physical condition.

Memory

  • Ships in 8GB or 16GB configurations
  • Two SO-DIMM slots, user-upgradable

Storage

  • Single M.2 NVMe SSD slot
  • Secondary 2.5-inch SATA bay on most units for an added or swapped drive

Display & audio

Display

A 15.6-inch Full HD IPS panel with a 144Hz refresh rate, matte finish, and wide viewing angles. This was a real differentiator against budget gaming laptops at the time, and it still holds up for fast-paced titles.

Audio

Stereo speakers front-firing near the hinge, tuned for media and casual gaming rather than bass. Headset use is common among owners for competitive play.

Ports & connectivity

Both generations use the same port layout across the sides and back of the chassis, built around a wired Ethernet connection for low-latency gaming.

Left side
  • DC-in power
  • RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet
  • HDMI 2.0
Right side
  • USB-C (data)
  • 2x USB-A (USB 3.1 Gen 1)
  • 3.5mm headphone/mic combo jack

Up to RTX 2060 144Hz IPS display 9th/10th Gen Intel H-series Upgradable RAM & storage Gigabit Ethernet Backlit keyboard

Battery, build & more

Battery

A built-in cell sized for a workstation session between charges rather than all-day use, typical of gaming laptops from this era with high-draw GPUs.

Dimensions & build

A metal-topped lid over a plastic chassis, thicker and heavier than an ultrabook by design, since the internal layout prioritizes airflow over portability.

Software

Shipped with Windows 10. Most used units on the resale market still run Windows 10 unless the seller upgraded it.

Known issues

Reviewers and owners have widely noted fan noise under sustained load and thermal throttling in the stock BIOS, common complaints for this generation of thin gaming chassis.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number or exact configuration?
Check the sticker on the underside of the laptop for the full model number, formatted as AN715-51-xxxx or AN715-52-xxxx. If it's rubbed off, press Windows key + R, type msinfo32, and press Enter to see the system model, or type dxdiag to confirm which NVIDIA graphics card is installed. The GPU and CPU generation matter more to your quote than any cosmetic detail, so confirm both before selecting your configuration above.
02 How do I tell it apart from the Acer Nitro 5?
The Nitro 5 (model prefix AN515) is Acer's lower-tier gaming line and is the most common mix-up with the Nitro 7. The Nitro 7 has a metal lid and a 144Hz IPS display standard across its configurations, while most Nitro 5 units use a plastic lid and a 60Hz panel. The model sticker on the underside is the definitive check: AN715 is the Nitro 7, AN515 is the Nitro 5.
03 Can I sell it with damage, like a cracked screen, weak battery, or a locked account?
Yes. A cracked screen, a battery that no longer holds a full charge, or a unit that won't power on can still be sold; your quote adjusts to reflect the condition. Before shipping, you must remove it from your Microsoft account and suspend BitLocker if it's enabled, since a locked device can't be tested or resold and will delay your payout.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
The graphics card matters most: an RTX 2060 or GTX 1660 Ti configuration clears well above a GTX 1650 unit at the same condition grade. After that, a higher RAM tier, a larger or added SSD, and including the original charger all push the offer up. Cosmetic condition and whether the laptop powers on and passes testing round out the rest.
05 How do I erase it and remove my accounts, and how do I get paid?
Go to Settings → System → Recovery → Reset this PC and choose to remove everything. Before that, sign out of and remove the device from your Microsoft account, and go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Device Encryption to suspend BitLocker if it's turned on. Once the reset finishes, ship the laptop to us using the free, insured shipping label we provide. After it passes testing, you'll be paid by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp or check. Full step-by-step guidance is in our data erasure protocols.
