Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 Gaming Laptop | Intel Core i7-13650HX | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 | 16" WUXGA 1920 x 1200 165Hz G-SYNC Display | 16GB DDR5 | 512GB Gen 4 SSD | Killer Wi-Fi 6E | PHN1

I love my new computer. The only issue I have is how quickly the battery runs down. I use it for everything and it runs super fast. I use it to game, to run my business, and for school. I highly recommend this computer. It gets a little hot sometimes but it gives you a control screen to monitor that. The screen resolution is amazing, the design is awesome, and I love the rainbow lights on the keyboard. The soft keys are great but the number pad is a bit small.

Todo ok

I recently got it and has worked perfectly fine for me. I do have to make clear: I do not use it for heavy gaming, but I do play Terraria, Minecraft and The Sims 4 occasionally. The main tasks I use it for are digital painting, digital design and studying (using Office, Teams, Zoom, etc.) and it has performed very nicely. It has no touble at all managing the bigger, more complex brush settings, such as those that mimic real paint, but I do switch it to Performance mode when using them. The keyboard is nice, it feels comfortable to the touch and is easy to adapt to if you are used to a bigger laptop format. It is also very fast and easy to work with, with short waiting times for heavier apps to open (I use the Adobe Creative Suite and it does not take more than a minute to open any of the apps). With this kind of use, I have not noticed any kind of heating or fan noise. The screen brightness is perfect and adaptive for indoor use, whether the room has dim, bright or no lighting. Also, it has quite a wide range of screen viewing angles. I have noticed the cover gets fingerprint marks quite easily, but my hands do sweat a bit more than the average person's, so this could not be the case for you. Both the device and the charger are very heavy, so I would not recomment carrying it with you to work or school, unless you have no other option. But, if you can, I would totally recommend getting a tablet or some other kind of PC-like portable device in which you can do some lighter tasks, and then detail them at home. I have seen some other people complaining about it heating too much on the Turbo setting, but there are solutions to this. Also, I believe it is relatively common for this kind of PC's to heat up when they're used for heavier tasks.

This is the 4th Acer Predator Helios laptop that I've owned. Last year I took a break from Acer and bought a Gigabyte G6 KF laptop because it was on sale for a bargain price. It was a monumental mistake. I had nothing but trouble with it since I took it out of the box. Thankfully, 12 months later the Gigabyte put me out of my misery by completely dying. Hooray! Luckily, I found this Acer Predator on sale and I scooped it up. It comes nicely equipped with a bright and colorful 16" 165 hz screen that is 100% sRBG and G-sync compatible. The screen has ZERO backlight bleed. Awesome! The included Acer performance software is simple to use and is available at the press of a button. The keyboard features programmable RGB lighting and the keys are very comfortable. The laptop's fans, which can also be programmed, are silent when not gaming, and even with extreme gaming never sound like a jet taking off. Also, the laptop remains surprisingly cool while gaming. The sound that comes from this laptop's speakers is loud and pleasant sounding. This particular laptop comes with 16GB of DDR5 ram and only a 512gb SSD drive so be prepared to purchase whatever extra ram and storage space that you feel necessary. It is equipped with an RTX 4060 8gb GPU and a Core i7-13th gen Intel CPU which makes it quite a good laptop for gaming. The current sale price of this Acer Helios is hundreds less than similar MSI, Gigabyte, and ASUS laptops and makes it a fantastic value. The hinge on this laptop is quite study and there is very little screen flex. The entire build quality of the laptop is exceptional. It comes paired with a very adequate power supply and offers plenty of various ports. After my terrible Gigabyte experience, I'm very happy to own another Acer Predator Helios. It feels like coming home. I will never stray again. I 100% recommend this fine gaming laptop.

Bought this computer almost a year ago, best decision ever! Still performing as good as the first day, thinking about upgrading but I dont know if I want to move on from this one. Love it!
