Which is better for gaming?

The Acer Nitro V 16. Its RTX 5070 and 180Hz screen outperform the Omen's RTX 5050 and 60Hz panel. The Omen is fine for 60fps play at 1920 x 1200.

Is the Nitro V worth $50 more?

Yes for most gamers. $50 buys a stronger GPU, double the storage and triple the refresh rate. Skip it only if $900 is a hard ceiling.

Which has more storage?

The Nitro V, with 1TB NVMe versus 512GB in the Omen. Its listing also shows a 5TB drive figure, which conflicts with the 1TB in the description, so confirm before buying.

Which is lighter to carry?

The Nitro V at 4.9 lb, even with its larger 16-inch screen. The Omen is 5.3 lb.

Does either come with Windows?

The Nitro V lists Windows 11. The Omen listing does not state an operating system, so check before ordering.

Which lasts longer on a charge?

Neither listing gives battery capacity or runtime, so there is no reliable figure to compare. Gaming laptops in this class typically run a few hours unplugged.
