Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the Predator Helios Neo 16's performance, graphics, and display quality, frequently praising its smooth high refresh rate screen and excellent value for the price. However, some users note that the battery life could be improved, and the laptop's size and weight may be a concern for portability. The cooling system also receives mixed reviews, with some reporting noticeable fan noise and heat generation during intensive use. While the keyboard is generally well-received, the large and heavy power adapter is a recurring point of criticism.

    I really love it so far. It runs my games and photography software without issue. My only complaint is that the fan is obnoxiously loud sometimes.

    Good performance I purchased during Cyber Monday deals and got it for $1,200 having a hard time justifying upgrading because it can upgrade its internal SSD. I got to keep the internals cooled even after 19 hours of gaming and I've had no issues since purchasing.

    I have had issues since I purchased it. One of the issues I'm having is with the PredatorSense software (that controls fans, overclocking, performance) freezes quite often. The biggest issue is the fact that it crashes while playing more intensive games. It was very rare at first, and I didnt play a whole lot when I first got it. When I got around to having more time, the crashes were more frequent and but by then I unfortunately had passed the Bestbuy return window. Now I have to deal with Acer directly. I've done a decent amount of diagnosing myself and with the help of others on the Acer forum, and it's all but certain there is a hardware issue, likely cpu related.

    Works great. I recommend you turn off the startup noise in the bios screen as it's pretty loud and obnoxious. Kind of like when you got jumpscared as a child when the THX logo showed up. Other than this it's been working great and I had no problems with it. One thing I would wish is that I could remap the Predator Sense key, but that seems impossible so far.
