Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 Review

The Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 is a more affordably priced gaming laptop -- but hang on, aren't all gaming laptops hyper expensive? What happens when you cut cost corners when making one?

Thanks for the review. We just purchased this exact gaming laptop for our grandson so he'll open it for Christmas. it's the 165Hz i7 16GB 1TB from Best buy for $1, 099, I think he's going to like it.

Thanks for the review. This seems to meet all my needs and the fan/audio and battery life wont be an issue for me as I play pluged in and with a good set of headphones. Think ill go pick one up today.

i don't understand why you need to add the zoom effect on the chart

One problem on this laptop is when it reaches a certain percentage on battery while playing a game, the fan automatically stops. It is better plug it in when playing.

.Hp Omen 16 2021:
i7 11800h, 3070 maxq, 16gb ddr4, 1Tb, fhd 16:9 1080p
price: 1000€

.Acer Predator Helios Neo 16:
i9 13900hx, 4060, 16gb ddr5, 1Tb, qhd 16:10 1600p
price: 1600€

.Is Neo16 far better for gaming?
.Is Neo16 more powerful cpu really useful for gaming?
.Are 500 vs 300 nits important for a good visual experience?
.Does the Neo 16 worth spending 600€/$ more?

Please and thanks

I'm surprised this kind of spec still isn't "High End"

Good review... I have the same laptop, and playing with the battery (without connecting it to electricity), when playing and reaching 31% the game lags horribly, becoming unplayable. Does the same happen to you?

It's priced around 800+ dollars online right now, is it now Worth the money?

The one I’m looking at here in the states has a laptop 4080 with 2 1TB SSD’s, and the 1600p 240hz screen for $1999usd. Seems decent, but I have to know, Is the HDMI port 2.1 or 2.0?

My God that name is a mouth full. Someone at Acer marketing needs to be fired. Good review thanks. This is on sale for $1099 in the US. I think it’s a good value.

Is it an upgrade from the 2019 Helios predator 300?

Hi mate another good review, ive recently purchased this laptop and i have a question.
Did you receive the black premium predator card with the acer premium services(24hr customer support and one year warranty on it) everything else was in box except for that one thing, so just wondering if its because im in Australia and thats why didnt receive it with my laptop. Thanks in advance if your able to answer this for me
