This is the Acer Helios 16, a somewhat mid-range gaming laptop that, on the whole, does a pretty good job. There’s plenty you should know before buying though, so let’s get into it! Starting with the exterior, this is a pretty sleek, yet thanks to the ‘junk in the trunk’, is unmistakably a gaming laptop. You get RGB lighting on that stick-out section, which while it does look nice, is a little confusing considering you’ll never see it. Otherwise, it’s a pretty plain clamshell. Spec wise, my model came with an i7-13700HX, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, an RTX 4060 Laptop GPU with 8 GB of VRAM, and a 1TB SSD. That’s not too bad - but of course, we should see how that all performs, starting with the gaming results at the native 1600p resolution.

In the Philippines, this Helios 16 with 16GB of RAM and the same CPU, GPU, and SSD will cost around 1400 USD or 1117 Pound on sale. While with i9 and RTX 4070, it will cost 1899 USD on sale.

What was the exact model number for this unit? The PH16-71-74UU is the model available here in the states with those specs, but some small details are hard to confim from model to model (mostly the panel they are using)

Can you turn of the RGB flashing on the backside?

I got an Acer Predator Helios 16” with RTX 4080 and 13th gen Intel i9 13900HX, 16GB RAM, and 1TB ssd, all that for $1700 because it was $700 off, and its a BEAST. GTA V on my 8K TV with maximun settings and the resolution set at 8K at 60Hz works smoothly probably at 60fps. I love it

That's what I ended up with but with 32 GB of RAM, not that impressed and no mfg support. Many things don't work right.

I have the Lenovo legion 5 pro. The acer feels flimsy but outperforms mine. Not my much, but the Lenovo slightly lags on gaming.

I've been looking between the neo and the non neo, the neo is far cheaper. Was wondering why the non neo was so much more expensive myself. Great vid!

@Mithileshx 2 ай бұрын

neo has cheap build quality and several issues like screen bleeding and micro stutters.

@@Mithileshx Yeah, I finally ordered the PC! Just a couple days ago! Just went for the non neo myself!

I would happily accept a refund for a return but Acer won't back their products

@nitupsar Ай бұрын

Why do you want to return it? i am planning to buy one, so would like to know if anything is wrong with the product as such!!

@@nitupsar RGB keyboard lighting quit after two weeks, SENSE app didn't function properly and there is no updated version to fix it, had to learn that another version for another model fixed the SENSE App but not the keyboard lighting. No support except "send it back and we'll reformat it" I can do that but I put 3 weeks of work into it and I'm not doing that when I know that is the not the fix, it's a software issue. They will not troubleshoot with me over the phone. Awful support.

@@timturner9315 Oh ok...that's not goodl!! Thanks for replying!! I'll definitely keep this in mind! Though one last question : did you buy the laptop online or from an acer store??

@Frostbiteme Ай бұрын

@@timturner9315 I had some issues with the lighting not changing to the colors i wanted for a bit. I found that if you end task "Acer lighting service" and then restart laptop open predator sense once it comes back up your keyboard should be acting right for the time being. I noticed this happens for me when i power my laptop on when its not plugged into the HDMI source it was plugged into before powering off. Now that I've done this I've noticed that as long as i open predator sense as soon as i start up the lighting continues to act right. kind of hassle but hope this helps i know it was bugging me
