I bought one of these. It is an truly amazing gaming laptop !
I just wish however, at one point in this video, they would have said that the speakers are absolutely terrible !
'Performance mode' is very quiet to use with decent FPS.
Don't buy this laptop unless you are planning on using headphones or some external audio, trust me !
😊
I think its common among Gaming laptops to use cheap parts to lower the costs so they could affordable and also that they could make profit from it. My MSI Katana 17 B13V laptop has 2 big issues low brightness and terrible battery. But since I dont take it outside and its always plugged in , its usable. But for a 4000 dollar laptop I think you are right....!
Would you say the keyboard feels good to play on or would you recommend a controller of some sort? I'm planning on picking one of these up within the next month or so
That laptop looks cleaner than most laptops
And more powerful than most 💪
@@unboxingplus8814more powerful then asus rog strix scar 18 2024 i9 14900HX+4090?
next level unboxing presentation, nicely done!
Appreciate it 👍
Thanks for the awesome video. The depth is so amazing.
Appreciate your feedback 😃
I got this 3 months ago after sending back Lenovo Legion 9i , best decision ever.Legion 9i has an awesome build quality but I could get over that low keyboard layout and when I see this Acer with same specs and 1000£ cheaper I said "screw Lenovo"
😀
what do u think of it im planning to buy one
Go for it for the price is just amazing
Can you undervolt it through either the bios or ThrottleStop?
@@V12BigBlockno you can not.
Bro i cry while watching your unboxing laptop gaming bruh😂 because i really want laptop gaming for my gameplay but yea..soon maybe i hope so
I bought such model 2 days ago but with RTX 4080 - 2830$. Thank you ACER for a nice black Friday
I just ordered this laptop ($2665+) and now all of a sudden days are longer..😒 in anticipation for this laptop...
I hope it's worth $4,000
That was a good price 😃
Bro post a vid on the performance. I'll even sub
Next 10year will be under 500$
@@RealFunding Everything after 10 years is under $500 😂
I just ordered direct from acer refurbished with 2 year warranty for $1800us
Thank you, I heard this crazy fan noise and I’m happy, that my notebook is watercooled. I appreciate it again now.
What’s the battery life on it? With games and without games?
Asus rog strix scar 16 with rtx 4090 vs this laptop, which one is best your pov.
Rog has better build quality
I just bought the same model laptop.I have a question,on the bottom side there is a bulge
in the middle where the vent grills are.I didn't see it right away,but when i slide my hand over,
it's rised a little bit.I don't know if that's the way the bottom side should be or is it damaged
from assembly.
That fan noise is crazy
In max mode.
Is there halos and blooming due to Mini-LED ?
Hello thanks for the review. Could you please answer the question. I know that laptops with Mini-LED have halos and blooming it is suitable for working with color and photo ? As far as I know only ASUS notebook models with NebulaHDR panels have this option to turn it off (halos and blooming) from multi-zone to single-zone backlighting.
Can you please try gaming but in quiet mode? When I have Lenovo legion 5 with RTX3060 it’s really healpfull with noise, but another a have a little bit low fps, but without any noise while gaming.
And try some fps, call of duty for example
Because this titles when I see, it’s 200+ fps but really like 40fps
This laptop was just on sale for $2499 at Best Buy. Is that considered a good deal for it with a 4090?
It would be a great deal. But personally I would wait for now for the RTX50 series laptops to come out
Agreed. However with 4090 laptops still commanding $3000+ (except the occasional sale), I can only imagine what 50 series laptops will be asking.@@unboxingplus8814
8:12 Hellblade 2 resolution is 1280x800?
The settings should have been before the gameplay
Woah i cant find this product on amazon, its only up to 4080 there
In my own opinion, Acer Predator Helios series are the beast of the beast 🤩...
And their designs are hot 🔥
I love predator series
Does this laptop have advanced bios via FN+Tab or something like that that allows for undervolting, or at the very least power management?
Didn't check that please check on the website for more info
i have the top spec and it doesnt not...most laptops nowadays...sad
Intel xtu
@@jasperboleyley9659most laptops do except for Acer
I can undervolt in Razer, Asus and MSI
Spacebar sounds ridiculously loud to the point where I would just buy an xps 18 if I wanted to work and a whole separate laptop for gaming. But I already have a desktop so I don’t really know why i would buy a laptop for gaming at that point if I could just plug an e-gpu in 😂
I am seriously considering either byuing this or ROG Scar 16, RTX 4090 models with i9-14900. How is the display compared to ROG?
I have not tested ROG Scar yet so can't give my opinion
I have an acer predator helios neo 16 rtx (rtx 4080) i9 14900HX
Since this is the new 2024 model do you know if it supports PCI Gen 5 SSD's?
Sorry, I didn't check that. I would suggest you to check on their website under specification section. Thanks.
It does
This thing gets hot as hell. Maxing out fans makes no difference. 2000rpm or 5000rpm and temperature stays the same. Clearly a design flaw that Acer just tried to fix on their new 2025 Helios with new fans.
Imagine gaming on constant 90C cpu and gpu. I hope it doesn’t just burn in less than at least 3 years
how on the back lights ?
I have a question. Your review says IPS screen. But is there also a model helios 18 2024 4090+i9 14900HX with Mini-Led or not?
Not sure. Will have to see on their website
@@unboxingplus8814 thank you
@@unboxingplus8814 do u recommended this laptop or not?
It has a mini LED screen. And as good as this laptop is, the screen is truly remarkable and then some. The most vibrant colours I've seen on a screen(without the 'in-shop' high contrast mess you see on new TV's) and a true life image. Side note, the beautiful reds displayed do seem to be chasing Fuscia, but never reach it.....
Most mini led are IPS or VA screens fyi.
Mini led is the type of backlighting it has.
The only screens that don't have a back light are OLED.
Mini led backlighting can be found in IPS VA and TN panels.
This gpu never pulls to 175w ?
you should have also played RDR 2
I normally do. Must have forgotten this time
@@unboxingplus8814 How can you forget that game
Hello! Do you know if the BIOS that fixes the Intel microcode problem has already been released?
I'm not sure.
On What resolution your playing This games on 4k or 1080p?
All the resolutions are shown in the graphics setting before each gameplay 🙂
