Lenovo IdeaCentre Creator 5i vs. Acer Nitro 50 (N50-620)

The Lenovo IdeaCentre Creator 5i and the Acer Nitro 50 (N50-620) were released in the same year, 2021. The Lenovo IdeaCentre Creator 5i has a mini tower form factor that can fit a micro ATX and Mini ITX motherboard, a few hard disk drives, and a single full-height graphics card. The Acer Nitro 50 (N50-620) has a full-tower form factor that can accommodate a large motherboard, multiple graphics cards, extra storage, and better cooling solution.

Processor

The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is like the brains of your desktop computer. Its performance determines how fast and responsive your PC is. Generally, a processor with newer architecture, more CPU cores, higher TDP (measured in W), and faster clock speed (measured in GHz) tends to be more expensive and run faster than others with older architecture, fewer CPU cores, lower TDP, and lower clock speed.

For Lenovo IdeaCentre Creator 5i, you have options to configure it with a 65W 10th Generation Intel Comet Lake 6-core Intel Core i5-10400 up to a 65W 8-core Intel Core i7-10700F with a boost speed up to 4.80 GHz.

While Acer Nitro 50 (N50-620) has configurations with a 65W 11th Generation Intel Rocket Lake 6-core Intel Core i5-11400F up to a 65W 8-core Intel Core i7-11700F with a boost speed up to 4.90 GHz.

Memory

The Random Access Memory or RAM is the super-fast and temporary storage used to handle all active tasks, apps, and games that will go away when your PC turns off. The more memory your PC has, the better multitasking your PC can handle without having to reload data from slower permanent storage that includes the hard disk drive or solid-state drive.

Fortunately, both PC allows you to upgrade later if you are unsatisfied with the amount of memory on your PC. The Lenovo IdeaCentre Creator 5i has two RAM slots that support up to 32GB of 2933MHz dual-channel DDR4 memory. On the other hand, the Acer Nitro 50 (N50-620) has four RAM slots that you can upgrade up to 64GB of 3200MHz dual-channel DDR4 memory.

Ports

Computer ports are the interface for connecting your PC to its peripheral devices or other PCs. The most common peripherals are keyboard, mouse, monitor, flash drive, speaker, and printer. Most of them use Universal Serial Bus (USB) as their connection to your computer. So the PC with more USB ports can connect to more peripherals at the same time.

There is a total number of 7 USB ports available on both PCs. On top of the number of USB ports, the type and version of each USB port are also necessary for determining how fast it is.

The Lenovo IdeaCentre Creator 5i has six USB Type-A ports and one USB Type-C port. It has four ports that support USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and three ports that support USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps).

For Acer Nitro 50 (N50-620), it has five USB Type-A ports and two USB Type-C ports. The PC has two ports that support USB 2.0 (480 Mbps), two ports that support USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps), and three ports that support USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps).
