As already mentioned, the main difference between the new products is the new AMD Ryzen 7000 platform. The basic configurations of Aspire 3 use energy-efficient dual-core Athlon Gold 7220U (Zen 2) with operating frequencies of 2.4-3.7 GHz and a TDP of 15 W. The graphics here are integrated AMD Radeon 610M. The Nitro 5 line is a little more interesting in terms of performance, as it offers more powerful CPUs – up to the Ryzen 7 7735HS with 8 Zen 3+ cores (16 threads) and a maximum Boost frequency of 4.75 GHz at a TDP of 54 W. In addition, the Nitro 5 models are equipped with a discrete GeForce RTX 3050 or 3050 Ti adapter for the built-in GPU.

In both cases, the diagonal is 15.6 inches – IPS panel with Full HD resolution. At the same time, the Nitro 5 gaming screen supports a frame rate of 144 Hz, which will not interfere with games with high dynamics.

The amount of RAM reaches 16 GB – the Nitro 5 uses DDR5-4800 memory, while the Aspire 3 is equipped with energy-efficient LPDDR5, which has replaced DDR4 modules. The data storage subsystem is represented by a 512-GB NVMe drive with a PCI Express 4.0 interface (Nitro 5) or a 1-TB SSD in the Aspire 3. Other equipment includes a Wi-Fi 6/Bluetooth 5.1 wireless module and a USB Type-C port ( USB 3.2 Gen 2).

As for design changes, the new version of the Aspire 3 features thinner bezels around the screen (the screen-to-body ratio reaches 79.86%) and colors (silver, pink, and gold to choose from). At the same time, Nitro 5 has become more fit and stands out from its predecessors with an improved cooling system with two intake holes and four air exhaust holes. SO Aspire 3 has also undergone changes: the manufacturer notes a 78% increase in fan surface area and a 17% increase in heat removal efficiency compared to previous models.
