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.

    Best laptop I’ve owned an honestly a huge upgrade from my 2019 Nitro. It has run every game that I’ve thrown at it. It is a bit on the heavier size but I knew that going into it. I prefer a slightly larger laptop. I use it for gaming and programming. It’s very easy to upgrade the RAM and to add an additional ssd which I plan to do eventually. My one and only complaint is that mine is running a bit hotter than the other reviews are saying. A good 5-10 degrees hotter actually so not sure what that’s about but aiming a fan at it helped. For those new to laptop gaming, they tend to run hot anyways so don’t be too alarmed. You’re definitely future proofed for a while with this purchase. Definitely grab it if BestBuy has a deal on it.

    Mid-Tier Gaming Laptop; Issues at First

    When I first bought this laptop, I did have some issues that I had not experienced with my Acer Predator Helios 300: some games would crash, and/or not run properly for this level of hardware. I also had slight overheating issues. After Acer released updates to the BIOS, as well as Nvidia Driver updates, the issues I experienced did not occur anymore. Plays just about any game I have thrown at it, build quality seems great for Acer, and display is good enough for a mid-tier gaming laptop. I would've given 5 stars if not for the initial issues with the software/BIOS; but then again that can't truly be attributed to the quality of this product.

    I don’t like the brick power supply. It’s too heavy. Everywhere else is good about this laptop. I upgraded it to 32 g RAM and added a second 2 TB SSD.

    Great until it wasn't. I had it for a week, using audio through Amazon basic speakers or headphones was fine for the first week now you hear scratching and popping like a dirty needle on a record . Not just on Pandora but youtube also. Replace the speakers, still have the same issue so I know it's the sound card . Doesnt happen on Bluetooth headset . Acer support is the worst in the business . They don't know anything and are quick to pass you off to a KB article but refuse to get a supervisor . Hopefully I'll be able to exchange it for the same sale price I got it from but then again we're dealing with BB . Powerful computer with a lot of unnecessary bloatware that the manufacturer cannot tell you the purposes of so if you're trying to save battery life and kill processes you're on your own to identify them. Surprisingly good battery life, very heavy

    This laptop is a cut above the rest. For the price, especially on a sale, I would snatch this up. Strong, cools very well and it is not quite as loud when under full load like similar laptops. I use this primarily as a gaming pc and secondly to work on school work. I will say the build quality was much better than I predicted, especially the built in boost. This is quite possibly one of the best bangs for your buck until you can afford something higher end!!

    Runs games great, fans are pretty loud but bearable with headphones but it has audio issues. My mic(s), all of them, sound terrible in discord and skype, went through hours of trouble shooting, resetting, trying different mics, different computers, updating drivers, etc... screw it, im returning it. I aint buying a 1500 dollar laptop that "mostly" functions. It just reconfirmed my beliefs that all laptops are crap, as this makes 3 out of 4 laptops that were duds

    Bought this for our son in the Army. He had always used a built desktop when he was living at home/growing up, so this was his first laptop. I did a lot of research into laptops at this pricepoint and can verify this truly is the best you can buy for the money. Thanks Best Buy for the quick delivery to the base! 5 stars all the way.
