Acer Predator Helios 16 (2024) Review

 

Decent performance ; Fast display refresh rate for the price ; Extensive ports array

Very short battery life ; Not all that portable

The latest Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 carries a stunning display and enough performance to make it pop, but its short-runtime battery and sizable chassis earmark it for desk duty.

Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 Review

 

Impressive performance for the price ; Exceptionally bright display ; Touchpad is a joy ; Plenty of ports

Bigger and heavier than its competitors ; Predator Sense software could be better ; Weak speakers ; Cramped keyboard layout

Acer's Predator Helios Neo 16 is a hefty budget gaming laptop that maximizes GPU performance for the money, which should appeal to power-hungry gamers less fixated on portability.

Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 review: Affordable, but with all the frills

 

The Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 is just such a laptop. 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...

CPU and GPU performance is quite decent for the laptop’s low price The keyboard is large, flashy and with an excellent selection of keys The port selection is extremely good – it includes two Thunderbolt 4 ports

The speaker’s audio is quiet and tuned mostly for the mid and high frequency sounds My display’s 165Hz refresh rate didn’t do a lot to prevent stuttering The off-center positioning of the trackpad isn’t ideal

The Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 is a great option for gamers on a budget, delivering decent performance, gamer-centric styling and plenty of port options for the fraction of the price of a premium laptop.

Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 review: Get ready for best-in-class power

 

Staggering performance

Leading productivity power ; Solid RTX 4060 fps ; Bright and colorful panel ; Sturdy chassis ; Tons of ports

Piercing speakers ; Sluggish trackpad ; Dreadful battery

The Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 stuns with its best-in-class productivity performance, also delivering solid RTX 4060 gaming power and a colorful, bright display.

Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 review: gaming laptop is bulky, noisy and immensely powerful

 

A gaming laptop with plenty of ports and an attractive screen.

Good performance ; Excellent screen ; Solid build quality

Low battery life ; Noisy fans ; Obnoxious noise on startup

Packing the latest 2024 tech, The Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 gaming laptop brings with it impressive rendering and generative AI capabilities via its fast CPU and capable graphics chip. It’s hot and power-hungry, though, and probably best left on the...

Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 Review: Solid Performance, Short Battery Life

 

A reasonably priced and well-equipped gaming laptop entry.

Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 Review

 

The Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 is a competent gaming laptop, but you can find better value options elsewhere.

Good display and keyboard ; Easy to upgrade the storage and memory ; Good range of I/O ports including two Thunderbolt 4

You can get a Nitro 16 for the same price with a better GPU ; Offering only a 512GB SSD as standard in 2023 is a joke ; Big and heavy, as is the the power adapter

The Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 is a competent gaming laptop, but for the same price, you can have an Acer Nitro 16 with a sharper display, a more powerful GPU and more RAM. There’s no good reason to buy the Neo 16 over the Nitro 16.

Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 review: a fair price for a fine device

 

There is no spoon

Excellent 16:10 display ; Solid performance for its price range ; Lots of ports ; Sensible starting price

Speaker quality is so-so ; Fans can get very loud ; Terrible battery life even for a gaming laptop

Acer offers a sidegrade to its mainstream Predator gaming lineup with this 'Neo' variant, which proves to be a fine laptop given its sensible pricing and good performance. It also offers a fantastic display and good thermal performance - just be...

Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 Review: Leader of the Budget Gaming Laptops

 

The Helios Neo 16 is essentially a gussied-up version of the Acer Nitro 16. It just so happens to also have ample 3D performance for its budget-friendly price.

Leading 3D performance among budget gaming laptops ; Plastic keyboard deck is solid ; Aluminum top cover adds durability ; Roomy and bright 16-inch, 16:10 display ; Crisp, 1080p webcam ; Plenty of ports, including Thunderbolt 4

Bulky and heavy ; Design borrows liberally from Acer's entry-level Nitro 16 ; Weak audio output ; Short battery life

Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 Review: Out on a Hunt

 

You also get a dedicated Copilot key on the laptop.

Excellent and bright display ; Great gaming performance ; build quality ; Plenty of I/O ports

Poor speakers ; Average battery life ; Poor web camera

For Rs. 1,74,999, there aren't a lot of laptops with the same specifications. If you want something with the same hardware, you can opt for the Asus ROG Strix G16 , which costs considerably more. You can also go for the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro , which...
