Acer Predator Helios Neo 16" Gaming Laptop - Excep
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For those who love to play video games, the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16" Gaming Laptop is a fantastic option. Thanks to its Intel i7-13700HX processor and GeForce RTX 4050 graphics, it offers exceptional performance and can easily handle the newest games. The 165Hz WUXGA display provides vibrant colors and an engrossing visual feast. Given its capabilities, the laptop's battery life is respectable, but what truly makes it stand out is its effective cooling system, which guarantees steady performance even during prolonged gaming sessions. It could be a tad thicker, but the Steel Gray pattern gives it a contemporary feel. The large 512GB SSD and 16GB DDR5 RAM provide more than enough memory and storage for multitasking and gaming. To sum up, the Acer Predator Helios Neo is an impressive device due to its potent specifications, fine display, effective cooling system, and well-thought-out design. For those looking for a great gaming experience, it is a highly recommended choice, even with some small downsides like size and battery life. It functions admirably for a high-end gaming laptop.

The Acer Predator Helios is outstanding!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love this computer it runs so smoothly and has a built in RTX! Worth the money for the performance, runs about an average of 70 ping for my current heavy duty gaming genre's! The quality is so good it has a selector near the number key pad for custom display & performance settings! Overall I give this an astonishing 5 stars for the everyday fps gamer! As generous as this sounds it’s not like any computer I’ve ever experienced before!

Good, but...
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a very nice, fast, powerful computer. It connects well and seems to do most things very well. When I first turned it on the sliders on the windows and browsers were very tiny and difficult to manipulate. This seems to have been corrected and things are much bigger and easier to grab. Still when you just brush over something, it gets selected. Or tabs get closed if the cursor goes over it without ever touching the close "x". I am older, but I have been using computers for over 25 years. I thought there was supposed to be a push to make these things more friendly, easier, and useful. Not all happening evenly.

Nice looking laptop, fast, reliable
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this laptop for the most part. It's fast, and the display is nice. It does have some light bleeding along the edges when the screen is dark, but it isn't too noticeable or bothersome. The speakers are not very good. They are very quite even at max volume. Definitely a downgrade from my HP Omen that was stolen as you could even detect decent bass through those speakers. This laptop is lighter weight with a smaller charger easier for travel, though. The two toned magenta and teal plates on the back of this laptop are a very nice touch. The laptop is very anesthetically pleasing. Overall I'm happy with the purchase and think it's a powerful, quality machine for the price.

Amazing Value gaming PC
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Laptop, as a budget gaming and streaming laptop it comes with all you need. A good processor Core i7 13 gen respectable graphics card Nvidia RTX 4050 and 16GB Ram. Hard drive being Sold State makes the whole difference and 500 GB is good for the price. If you don't mind the RGB keyboard not being individual keys but 4 complete clusters then this computer will give you the best value for your buck. On top of that I got it in special!

Worth it :D
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works great so far. I use it for school, gaming, and watching movies. If you’re playing games definitely bring your charger (3ish hours) but if you’re just using it for schoolwork or watching movies the battery lasts a long time (8+ hours). I had some glitching while watching hulu in full screen, I downloaded chrome and everything works perfectly now.

No, it hasn't been chiseled from a single block of aluminum and it doesn't sound like a precision-tuned futuristic boom box, but to me that doesn't matter much. It's still powerful enough to

Q: QuestionHow does the 4050 run. Would you recommend for gaming? I had the 3070TI and it was really good.
Asked by Storie.
- A:Answer The 3070 ti outperforms the 4050 in the majority of cases by a decent amount. A 3060 will be the 4050, especially as higher resolution. If you’re looking for an improvement from the 3070 ti I’d look at a laptop with 4070 or 3080 ti.

Asked by LandonC.
- A:Answer I’ve had it for a little over two months now and I mostly use it plugged in. But the few times I’ve had used it unplugged don’t expect to game on the battery power alone, sure you can write a paper, check emails and maybe book a flight and plan a vacation but don’t expect to be gaming on this.
