Hi Jarrod, thanks. I've been waiting for this review and you've addressed pretty much everything. One thing I'm trying to understand why Acer is limiting max expandable RAM to 32GB, which is specified in all marketplaces. 13900hx should support 192 GB as for the Intel's official specs but given that there are no higher capacity RAM available above 48GB currently, it should at least support 96GB (48GBx2). As it comes with 32GB already, there are no options for upgrade if the MAX is 32GB as specified, so I think upgradability score should be even lower in that case.
For an 18" laptop the 4060 is a great bargain second hand. Gives more people access to 18" laptop which are fantastic for the on the go productivity or just moving around the house.
Always totally transparent critique and attention to detail. I mean, who has a comparative historic table of gaming laptop fan noise? Fantastic content!
I bought the acre Helios 300 after watching ur vids and honestly it’s a Beast I use it for gaming and programming and it has been amazing so far, the fans are loud in turbo mode but it’s not a problem for me and I always have headphones on anyway, performance on battery is aight, overall very satisfied.
Excellent review. I would go for the 18". However, I agree with you on loud cooling fans. Price is really good if you don't have the cash for a better more expensive model
Been waiting for this for quite a while. Thanks for the detailed review, Jarrod. Do you think this would be a good laptop that can last three or four years considering that it thermal throttled during the stress test, assuming that 87c on the gpu is the thermal throttle limit?
I want mini-LED in more laptops sooo bad! I'd also love a super slim and light 18" for massive screen traveling. Although it seems manufactures are allergic to even 17.3 for light laptops.
Same I don't get it how it is the year 2024 now and there is virtually no difference in screens still, 20 years ago we were all playing on oled screens on our PSP's tf is going on? I just got a mini led screen laptop and that alone was hard enough to get.
@@Naraayanay bro 2 lac inr is best budget , even I say overbudget , see wait till next year since u this year have came to end and student welcome season will offer u new and less expense also but yeah buy like Dell, hp , asus not msi , acer, Lenovo Chinese products which don't give better afterservice My recommendation buy hp Omen series , asus rogue series or Dell G series or Xps series , next year , also amd 8000 series coming will give major upgrade in cpu performance
You're the best out there. Its outright insulting that they didnt send you the Mini LED version. Honestly, why would a reasonable consumer choose this non Mini LED version over other non Mini LED models like the Lenovo? For my money, I would only consider the Acer for the fact that they are one of the very few companies that makes higher end gaming laptops wirh Mini LED
Great review as always Jarrod, just wanted to know would it be smart to judge the helios 16 based on this review or does size make a big difference on preformance and build quality? 🤔
Speaking of Acer gaming laptops, there's a new one that's been released, that as far as I'm concerned hasn't been touched upon (well that in depth) anywhere. It's the Acer Nitro V (yes, acer used a roman numeral XD), it's different from the nitro 16 and 15 if I'm correct, and even the back design is slightly different. The biggest difference I've seen is that it has the 2 fans together again compared to other or previous nitro 5s. It also comes with a 13th gen i5 or i7 and 4050 or 2050. How do you think will it stack up against other laptops?
Don't know if it is the right place to ask but will you test any of the asus flow laptops series (x13,z13 and x16) ? I've been looking for your review since the laptops got announced cause your tests are just great :D . So will you test them/one of them ?
what's the point of complaining so much about the fan noise, every laptops have fan speed adjustability, just put on quite mode, but for those who need extra performance, its a bonus for them.
People apparently complain about every little thing when it comes to laptops. All the things he complained about I am like so? The SD card sitting inside a little to far isn't going to scare me off.
I would like to buy a 18 inch laptop but all of them are pretty expensive so far. It would be nice to have options in the 1200-1500 USD category. They start over 2000 in my country.
@@kiyoponnnbruh. Stop recommending to go get a desktop for someone who's clearly looking for a laptop. They obviously prioritize the portability of it that's why they're on the lookout for one. 😂
Torx screws aren't as easy to strip (especially accidentally). Imo, stop 'taking off half a point' for it- someone without a relatively basic set of drivers is probably better off not opening up a device they paid a lot of money for.
Thanks for the review Jarrod! I've been waiting for this! From where I'm from, the Helios 16 is a bit cheaper to Legion Pro 7 for their RTX 4080 config. The Helios 16 is specced exactly to your Helios 18, down to the Raid 0 SSDs. Now I'm stuck, design wise, I prefer the Helios 16, RGB wise I prefer Legion Pro 7. Lol.
It has liquid metal just on the CPU then? Is it possible to open and apply on the GPU as well without any gimmicks? Without messing with the already applied liquid metal on the CPU ?
Great video. I'm watching this a year later with a I9-14900HX/4080 variant and literally everything you said during your conclusion of this review is how I picked this laptop. I wanted the larger screen because a PC isn't for me right now. I didn't go with Asus because they've been under fire for quality and second at the time of my purchase was almost $1k more for the same, or slightly better specs. I'll give up the performance any day for that. But arguably my biggest, and honestly only issue is the fan noise. Awful. But overall, very pleased. Looks great and runs great.
@DrakenFX love it. No cons. Rock solid. Rgb is awesome. The acer software to set performance works flawless. Really happy. I use Razer Balasik mouse, and Razer works great and I use JBL Quantum one headphones. Both work great, no connectivity issue and their rgb functions too.
Hey Jarrod, can you review the Acer Nitro 5 3070ti, its on sale here and seems great value but i am worried about its thermals and build. I'm sure many people would watch that.
Hello @JarrodsTech, Can you try to test PD function in laptops that support it? I noticed some PD laptops(example tuf a15 2023) battery is getting weared really fast because using this function
I saw online that acer laptops have screen flickering issue after 2 or 3 years. I have the same issue. After being an acer fan for more than a decade im very disappointed...
We've already covered the 5i, unfortunately it's not worth 1-2 weeks of work to make a whole new video when the only difference is CPU. Yes CPU matters, but we have a bunch of Intel vs AMD comparisons already for you to see the differences.
I have the Helios 16 4080 and Enabling performance boot mode in the registry and modifying from aggressive to disabled or to efficient aggressive greatly improves the temp for the Helios 16 up to 20c less during gaming and does not effect performance.
Why did you remove both the legion slim 5's from the game performance tests? They both performed better than the Acer nitro 5 and you have included it in the comparison.
I decide each video which laptops to add as there are too many to add them all. My decision is based on what I think is most useful in relation to the laptop being reviewed.
I was set to buy the asus rog 4080 went into best buy and was shocked at how horrendously ugly it is in person, it's the most ugly depressing LIGHT grey color it almost looks morbid. No way I could look at that after spending 2k+. The mini led asus rog is a dark grey almost black and looks much better but it's close to 3k. Also the sales between the two brands the acer can get significantly cheaper. The alienware has a really nice build of the actual laptops and sometimes really good sales but the screens suck in comparison and full price a rip off. The MSI are out to lunch with their prices. There really aren't many choices for 18 inch screens and higher end graphics cards in reasonable prices. The acer ends up being by far the best reasonable priced 18 with good screen and not ugly either was my findings. Bestbuy just got the 4090 mini led screen 18 inch acer for the price of the 4080 no mini led screen asus for reference. The lenovo white ice glossy laptop with the oled screen is the nicest Iaptop I've ever seen I would have wanted that in a heartbeat if it came in larger that 16 inches I would have even settled for 17 inch I don't get it with laptop brands they need to get their act together.
@@JarrodsTech I think Acer hurt themselves by not sending you their miniLED model. It's the best thing the Helios has going for it. Oh well, their loss. Keep up the great work!
My 2023 helios 16 died within 18 months of usage. There's many people reporting issues on acer forums as well. Acer also doesn't let you undervolt or unlock BIOS on the flagship helios models. Absolutely do not buy Acer. Their customer care is absolutely pathetic too.
After noticing this is like the only affordable 18" I realized they don't make an 18" with a 4050. Wonder if they are just trying to not be cheap or are just trying to make you buy up and make you not be cheap. lol
The fan noise chart at 13:55 means absolutely nothing without temp/performance included. You also sorted the table by max fan speed volume. Who the hell runs the fans maxed out.
i run the fans maxxed out whenever i game, and its not a performance chart its fan noise chart... i dont think Frames per decibal is a metric anyone is looking for.. fan noise is not an issue to a large sum of people buying these gaming laptops, they have headphones on anytime the fans come off of idle anyway
Hello sir... Quick question. Which one should i order. Tuf a16 7735hs, 7600s for 980 USD ? or Tuf a15 7735hs rtx 4060 for 1230 USD ?? Rtx 4060 performance gains and may be little better thermals of a15 worth 250 bucks considering a16 still has better, and tall screen over it also ?
I went for the 16 inch model, same specs as in this 18 variant. This beast plays cyberpunk 2077 with rtx ultra preset and 1600p dlss ultra at 90 - 110 fps. Nothing short of amazing, gets hot tho 95c
Got an Asus G16 (4080). Use throttlestop, undervolt the CPU and set boostclocks to 4700. Much better temps. Also, try CP77 with rtx overdrive with dlss quality and FG, should still give you around 70fps at acceptable latency.
i cant seem to find it anywhere with a 4080, im only seeing 4070 models on bestbuy, amazon an newegg..im in canada but still shouldnt matter they offer every other machine here

We need more 17" laptops.
Most 18 inch laptops this year are 17.3 inch laptops but with a 16 : 10 screen, so less bottom chin.
I'm wondering about getting a 4060 laptop or just waiting and getting a 4080 with that 12GB of VRAM.
Still no custom fan curve customization.
microSD card sitting deep inside chassis is a plus for me. I can use microSD card as 3rd disk without worry of damaging it while transporting laptop.

Hello sir... Quick question. Which one should i order. Tuf a16 7735hs, 7600s for 980 USD ? or Tuf a15 7735hs rtx 4060 for 1230 USD ?? Rtx 4060 performance gains and may be little better thermals of a15 worth 250 bucks considering a16 still has better, and tall screen over it also ?
This or asus rog strix scar 18 rtx 4080?
sir can u tell us about getting discount for student and does that dicount rate gate added to sale rate.
Best buy
I went for the 16 inch model, same specs as in this 18 variant. This beast plays cyberpunk 2077 with rtx ultra preset and 1600p dlss ultra at 90 - 110 fps. Nothing short of amazing, gets hot tho 95c
Got an Asus G16 (4080). Use throttlestop, undervolt the CPU and set boostclocks to 4700. Much better temps.
Also, try CP77 with rtx overdrive with dlss quality and FG, should still give you around 70fps at acceptable latency.
Remember to keep your laptop elevated. The bottom also needs to breathe and can make a lot of difference.
so raid0 in this laptop based on 2x nvme works good? Thinking now to use raid0 or 2 seperate 4TB drives...
Hey Jarrod, i re-enabled Core iso in my laptop. Would it still hold back performance today or no??
Any suggestions/comparison of Asus Strix G16 (i7 13650Hx rtx4060) and Predator 16 (i9 13900hx rtx 4070)
The price of Predator 16 is $200 more
Helios 300 3070Ti what a beast fighting against all these behemoths!
I have the mini led 4080 model. Its a very impressive piece of technology.
i cant seem to find it anywhere with a 4080, im only seeing 4070 models on bestbuy, amazon an newegg..im in canada but still shouldnt matter they offer every other machine here
Can you review the new asus tuf a15 2023 with rtx 4050
