Thanks for your full review on Acer Helios 16, Alex. I have been waiting this for a long time. Comparing to last year’s Helios 300, it may not own the comparative advantages on GPU+CPU performance, but Helios 16 provides an absolute advantage on the screen, which is nearly 500 nits. I will purchase this laptop with the 4070 version. Again, thanks for your video. Still waiting for your Triton review.

I got the max spec RTX 4080 version of this for the price of RTX 4070 cause someone had returned it. Best buy of my life, this thing is a beast. it rips through any game I put it through in ultra settings at 2k res. It does run hot on graphs but I didn't feel it to the touch and its surroundings. Got a 3Dmark timespy test result of 19462 in performance mode, so can't really ask for more. Great video! Please do one with the RTX 4080 version

For anyone who is concerned about laptop temperatures in the 90-95c CPU/GPU. I have had a Lenovo Legion with i7 10750h and 2060 for 2.5 years. These things are built to withstand those temperatures. I am planning on getting this Helios with the 4080 myself and I am not at all concerned about the high temperatures. Just get one and have fun.
@weatherponies7503 5 ай бұрын
I recently bought one myself! Running core temperatures, and not keeping it on a soft surface as instructed in the manual, maximum I’ve gotten is 84°C. With a simple cooling table it stays at a nice 67-72° during gaming. Max temperature according to core temperatures is 100°C. Anybody taking this laptop serious will run core temperatures. The laptop is very fluid so far. I love it. I use it daily for gaming and business.

For anyone who considers buying the Mini LED variant of this model, be aware that it might have a strong brightness bloom. I tried two separate machines and both showed a strong bloom between brightness levels, most noticably when your screen is black (but on) and you search for your cursor, which isn't white but dark grey due to the bloom. If you want to go safe, I can recommend the normal IPS option instead, which so far has truly satisfied my personal expectations so far while owning it.
@cdieseldawg5850 7 ай бұрын
I agree. The IPS panel on the Helios 16 is really really good. It gets super bright, contrast is really good for IPS (not OLED level obviously). The mini LED also can’t hit the G2G response times the nano-ips panel can either. My desktop main is a c2 OLED on 13900K and 4090 and the color vibrancy on this IPS panel gets very close to the OLED. It is buttery smooth too.

Two very differing machines. If you can live with the occasional glitch with Alienware's Command Center and want something stationary on your desk with a big screen ... the Alienware is a great machine. If you want something much more portable, with a much more stable command centre but an equal amount of ports, the Helios is great too!

Does it have USB charging? I've already purchased 13700hx, 4060, QHD 240hz variant, but I'm not able to charge with any power delivery charger. Yes, it has two ports which supports thunderbolt, but don't know why it can't charge, not even showing slow charging prompt. And the screen also seems too weak to be called as IPS, I'm afraid if I damage the display while using screen cleaning kit.
@NotebookcheckReviews 10 ай бұрын
Both USB-Cs should actually support power delivery with up to 100W. With what kind of charger have you tried it? And IPS describes the panel technology and does not tell you anything about the physical rigidity of the panel.

I wouldn't say it keeps temperatures in check, these CPUs run hot & it's a shame how locked down the BIOS/UEFI is (I have the 16" i9-13900HX, RTX 4070 model). I only found out much later after purchase that intel CPUs had undervolting patched out due to a security vulnerability. So now I'm looking for other ways to get the CPU temps down (I want the hardware to last a long time), I'm not highly tech savvy so taking it apart is a no-go.

I wouldn't get the Alienware M16, they have a really poor screen for 2023 (only up to 300nits) also they have problems with performance in games, due to poor temp/throttling setup out of the box. [EDIT] Oh and the M16 also has an inverted motherboard, so if you wanted to do simple ram/ssd upgrade, or even a repaste.. you would have to completely disassemble the laptop, to get the motherboard out and turn it over! Everybody seems to say good things about Legion, really good for performance in gaming.. and cost to performance. Not sure about the Predator Helios, that might be good? But yeah, don't get the Alienware.

My laptop configuration - Predator Helios 16, i9 13900hx,32 GB Ram,4080 graphics, it's a huge configuration, but it have very bad performance and weird cpu behaviour ,please don't buy and regret, finally it's upto you guys. I played wwe 2k23 for a couple of hours and then my mouse and game was very badly lagging I had to restart the laptop. In 4k editing this laptop behaves like it is a 4gb laptop with a decade old processor. I don't know if acer old laptops are good but this one have issues which you don't want.

@@NotebookcheckReviews For me, better battery life at least for the HS. And a comperent iGPU/CPU if you just want to play games or even work with a 65W usb c charger when travelling and not bring the bulky charger. I had to settle for a Nitro 16 7940HS and the battery life is really good. But I would have liked a metal chassis, keyboard and a better Webcam provided by the Helios.

Predator helios 16 4080 have huge problems,i own it and regret buying it. Battery is not good,heating issue from beginning. They didnt solve my issue. When i play games for a couple of hours it gives up,my screen my mouse don't repond. Like it is dead. Acer should stop making laptops and stay with making air purifiers. I was going to buy asus rog strix scar and saw acer for less money and gone for it and now regret very badly. I bought it for 2,49,990 and it is huge amount in indian money,i am in dipression,bought this laptop to become a KZfaqr and that doesn't seem to happen because acer don't have return policy. I asked them to take it back after using it for 1 week they refused and said they can only repair. Acer is a bad company.

I looked into that model myself & passed on it due to the estimated battery life (about 4 hours?) & saw some info online about bad heat management. The 18" model might be a better buy, I'm unsure if the seller had incorrect info but the 18" model had both MiniLED & 8 hours estimated battery life, couldn't find any heat concerns online for it.

I love mine! Best gaming laptop I’ve ever owned. I Have the model with 13900HX, 4080, and upgraded to 32Gb 5600mhz ramjet (16x2). Not sure what this person’s deal is. I’ve got the 4080 overclocked in afterburner on top of predator sense and hitting 19,3xx in timespy. Panel is buttery smooth, super vibrant(after config), and the G2G response is amazing. temps are amazing on the GPU and with the CPU on LM, and noise isn’t bad at all for a gaming laptop. One of the best and I’ve owned more than 200 PC’s (desktops and laptops) in my lifetime all the way back to Intel 80386. If you are buying ANY high spec gaming laptop and a prerequisite is good battery life, you honestly have no business purchasing and/or owning a gaming laptop.. 😂 review honestly sounds like “paid by competitor” nonsense. The laptop is amazing. I’ve been building/repairing PC’s and Mac’s for 28 years..
