Thank you for reviewing this unit, I have the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 myself and so far I love it, gonna upgrade the ram to 32GB in the near future. But everything on the laptop is running smooth so far.
I have it also. The i7, 1Tb, 4060 version. I love it!! Added another 2TB M.2 and just upgraded the RAM to two 16gb sticks. This laptop is a beast and runs so cool.
@@imchecotech No issues, You are still learning and some laptops have movable mounts so it happens also it is 2560 x 1600 which is QHD+ or 2K+ not FHD. Love your video.
Great review!I just bought this beast yesterday and I'm loving it! The only problem is that the max camera quality is 720p 30fps... I saw the specs list online and it said that It should be 1080p 60fps. I already updated the drivers but it's still the same. Do you know of a way that I can resolve this?
Hey, CheCo! Do you know if an SSD M2 WD Black SN850X with the heatsink would fit in my Predator or should I buy the model without heatsink? Your reviews are always so helpful, thanks! :)
@@imchecotechyou think omen is not upto the mark? Because i tried to order predator 16 (i7) but it was not available in shop and they suggested hp omen 16 for the same price and spec. I returned back to take sometime. Should i wait for acer stock or go with omen?
One thing I've noticed is the majority of the reviews I've seen here on UA-cam have been getting noticeably lower FPS even in the same games at the same settings as mine. Maybe yall are using the factory Nvidia settings, IDK . But in my region mine doesn't have all the extra graphics on the lid and the lights on back. Mine is basically the same specs but with a 1TB M.2.
If u want 2k(2560×1600p) gaming then go with 4060, if ur budget is tight then 4050 is a beast for FHD+(1920×1200p) and decent for 2k with external monitor
@@imchecotech thank you sir can you make comaprison about acer helios neo 16 vs acer predator helios 300 with core i9 cpu 12th gen Btw Im your new subscriber thank you for your wonderful video hope so you will upload my request and many subscriber will come to you God bless
Acer nitro especially older versions (acer nitro 5) has heating issues. The Neo with a 40 series rtx is more future proof, Liquid metal cooling, updated fans, better build, better CPU, better RT and ofc DLSS frame gen. Also the fact that 3070tis cost more than a mere 4050 laptop. The only exception i would make to choose a 3070ti over a 4050 neo 16 is if its an Acer Predator Helios 300 3070ti, but alas its just the lowly acer nitro 5 2022 Not worth it. Get the 4050 neo 16

@@JayP7.62hey there, did it cost you extra for upgrading your ram from single channel to dual channel?
Hi did you ever face micro stuttering issue?
Thanks for Reviewing the Monitor
Have fully decided to get this one now.
I have to mention that you can actually use a 2280 nvme SSD in the 2nd slot as it has the mounting hardware with the screw including.
You may be right! 🤦🏻♂️

The Helios Neo 16 isnt the direct predecessor asf. You should look at the Helios 16 instead
Did you have micro stuttering issue so far?
hey ! nice review . what is the controller model?
9:24 you have not turned on the performance mode 😂 . turn it on plz. i have same laptop
Great review! What controller are you using?
Predator Controller.
can you connect a VR headset to this via thunderbolt 4?
I got a single 32 GB DDR5 SODIMM kit, can I mix it with one of the default ram sticks?
Do you mean 2x32? And yes you can VR thought Thunderbolt
Hey, CheCo! Do you know if an SSD M2 WD Black SN850X with the heatsink would fit in my Predator or should I buy the model without heatsink? Your reviews are always so helpful, thanks! :)
I would definitely go for the non heatsink, is not a lot of space internally. Thanks for you feedback 💙💙🚀
@@imchecotech Thank you very much for your response! Do you reccomend any appropriate heatsink in particular for a laptop?
nice video man I was gonna choose this or the Acer Nitro 17 and I ended up picking the Nitro 17 and I don't regret it
How many hours do you use it? when normal usage?
Sir any solution of acer predator 16 overheating
Try changing the fan curve on the predator sense app?
@imchecotech I just returned it going for rog strix g16
Please tell me ,which one i should buy ,this NEO vs Omen 16 with same processor and specifications for SIESTA CODE COMPUTATION....

They don't tweak the Nvidia graphics settings to get better performance.
Is there big difference between neo 16 i7 16gb ram 4050 and 4060? Can i go for 4050 instead of 4060 ?🤔
If u want 2k(2560×1600p) gaming then go with 4060, if ur budget is tight then 4050 is a beast for FHD+(1920×1200p) and decent for 2k with external monitor
4060 have a 10-15% advantage over a 4050. Depending on you budget you may can save some money this way
@@imchecotech what about long term use at 4050 and 4060?
can I install nvme ssd gen 4?
Yes 💙

It’s nice but I want it’s big bro 😂
Does this have G Sync?
Yes to GSync and 165hz
Are they serious with that name? Why Acer?

Which is the best laptop ? 😊
Acer Predator Neo (2023) Core i5 13th Gen - (16 GB/512 GB SSD/Windows 11 Home/6 GB Graphics/NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050) PHN16-71

Acer Nitro 5 Gaming Core i7 12th Gen - (16 GB/1 TB SSD/Windows 11 Home/8 GB Graphics/NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti) AN515-58
3070 ti

Idk why but to me this laptop looks cheap. Im having thoughts buying this
A big majority is recycled plastic, so It may look cheap but is powerful 🚀
it is the cheaper Helios. Neo is the cheaper one, the non-Neo is the true Helios 300 succesor
😀 promo sm
Why the Neo is worste then the Helios 16?
