- Review of the 2023 Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 a gaming laptop that uses an I7-13700HX CPU and up to a RTX 4070. It does a few things very well and also costs less than some of the competition like the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro.

Acer saw Sony’s names and wanted to join the club.
I just bought one with the i7 13700hx and an rtx 4070, runs all games at max settings and I mostly play at 1080p or 1440p, this thing is a beast and I feel like the speakers are fine, im not a headphone guy so they are good enough for me, but over all it is a great gaming laptop!
May I ask where did you get the 4070 one?
@@MrZeng-pe6zvhe did
Does this go well with 4k monitors or tvs?
@@MrZeng-pe6zv I got it from a guy I know who owns a computer store
@@ElmoKnowsWhereYouLive5150it should pair well with them as it supports it
Good to see that we had the same hunch about this laptop's naming, Acer's naming guy is wildin'
I was wondering why this thing looked familiar. This one looks nearly identical to last year's Helios 300. Though, it is rather odd that the Helios 16 at home, this thing, has more reviews before the actual Helios 16
Thank you very much for all this information. Regarding adding a second nvme, do you know if there is room to install one with a heatsink, such as the Seagate FireCuda 530 ? Or must I get one without a heatsink?
I have the acer predator with the rtx2060. Holy crap it still amazes me how good it runs
Dude, I have the Predator rtx 2060 17 inch. That laptop is so reliable even after 4 years. Performance power build quality never given me any headache.
I have the gtx 1060 Helios 300 from ages ago and still LOVE it!! I'm absolutely in love with Acer laptops I really don't get why it gets hate sometimes.
I have the rtx 4060 core i9 13900hx, it's the god of thunder
@Matthew Moniz, can you tell us the max length for the second SSD slot please?
I just got one of these and am actually watching the video on it. I love this computer so much! It is so powerful.
Got mine all set up. Mainly use it if for school but occasionally find myself playing through hi-fi rush. Looks amazing.
There's two thunderbolt 4 ports on there, you showed it, and it had the thunderbolt icon to prove it. Well, maybe yours. Its on sale at Best Buy for $999 right now. Cool, I might grab it myself.
Got this laptop a month ago for only $999 (rtx4060 I5-13500HX 1440p) and it's great except for the fan noises and heavy weight, sometimes the PredatorSense doesn't work for me, ig I should move it to startup apps to fix it
which website?
I only see the i5 13500HX being paired with the RTX 4050
damn, here it is 1188usd and still 250 cheaper than legion 5i pro
@@flagmachine may depend on your area, got mine at a physical store. They had both the i5/4050 and i5/4060 variants in the store I went in. The 4060 model was 1260 USD (70k php) though it did come with the predator chair, bag, +8gb ddr5, and 126 USD (7k php) worth of vouchers/gift checks.
What website did y’all find it on?
Hey nice video! I cant get it right about the top lid design. I am seeing two different on the helios neo 16? thanks
acer predator helios never disappoints you, love it and so clean as always.
This laptop having mux switch
Thanks to you I bought the Legion 5 Pro Gen 7 and it's AMAZING. Windows 11 was a pain tho but luckily switching to Windows 10 while keeping the essential Lenovo apps.
I agree, legion 5 pro is a beast. but why would you downgrade from windows 11 to 10? most apps work on 11 now and its like moving from ios 16 to ios 8🤣
@@morganvici6543 It's Microsoft we're talking about here. Windows 11 looks nice but functionally worse. There's extra steps to do most things, and having a Microsoft account is mandatory. It's unstable and things are just slow. Unlike Apple's OS, Windows OS gets bad every other version, Vista after XP was bad, Win 8.1 after Win 7 was bad and Win 11 after Win 10 is bad.
EqAPO and HeSuVi didn't exactly work on Windows 11 either. My laptop ain't a slouch with Ryzen 7, 3070 and 32GB Ram and moving back to 10 made it feel so much faster and everything worked better.
People just say its bad because because they are used to the previous os. And windows 11 isn't unstable anymore.
@@beefycroissant6485 Not from my experience. I wanted to like it. It looks good and I like the file tabs even though it wasn't as useful as I'd like it to be. Installing the official Microsoft Office somehow made the right click create txt file option disappear completely. Trying to get it back just removed the office options. So I still couldn't create a text file. Based on how responsive Windows 10 is when I went from Windows 11. There's still some work needed on Windows 11. Friends I know who use Windows 11 have odd yet simple problems, not being able to print on one laptop and having lag on another laptop.
Dude I got a Lenovo loq and Wi-Fi keeps cutting off when trying to run a game
Hello i was wondering if what is the capacity upgrade for the Drives?
bought i7+4060 version based on reviews. One important point which reviews dont mention is if you are coming from dell inspiron or lenovo experience, you will find the keyboard small and cluttered for typing and it will be learning curve for fast typers who dont look at keys to type. Its like the laptop is intended for arrow keys and AWSD key usage only. num pad is as well too small and congested.
How's the performance so far? I'm planning to buy the same variant as yours.
Does tgis predator model supports acer care center? Mostly like using the healthy charnging? I hope. You can answer me. So that i can buy this laptop if it supports the healthy charging. Thanks!
Love your vids. Cheers 🎉
Much appreciated!
3:14 Three cheers for the sticker guy!😂
Is the build overall build quality good?
Like does the hinges not break after a year or two of usage?
From another video I saw the hinges work great and are pretty sturdy
@@shadowmaranet2809 Got one 3 weeks ago and goddamn is it wonderful, hinges defo aint breaking in 3 or so years
Just Got this laptop for $799 black Friday sale . 🙌 thanks for info.
Same bro
WHAT? JUST 799$
Couldnt be the one with this spec though? Intel Core i7 16GB 1TB RTX 4060 165Hz
Its €1500 here in Europe
does the Predator Helios Neo 16 also have PD function as well ?
I want to know how to set the original home screen back just in case it changes
Is u series processors enough for college level web development and basic app development or I should buy p or h series
And can you please suggest me some laptops my budget is 1000 CAD
Comparing this New Gaming Beast with The Razer Blade 16 and Lenovo Legion how would you rate this laptop
I've had a few Acer products over the years and they've all done an adequate job for the price point, even the netbook I had (remember those?).
I still have an Acer aspire netbook that works
@@corey7219 SSDs were becoming a thing when I had mine. I swapped out the HDD and couldn't believe the difference in performance (by netbook standards). It was a fun little device.
I have an Aspire from 2016 still going strong, and a 2060 Helios from 2021. I would buy another Acer
Oh hell yeah I remember notebooks the before fore times
still using the 2021 rtx 3060 helios 300. havent had any problem yet beside i needed to change the battery once.
Really enjoy watching your videos. Top quality reviewer on UA-cam
How well does this perform with VR?
Could you please review MSI Thin 15 B13VE. Thanks
where can i get the driver from for the predater sense?
Is it worth getting the baseline helios 300 over this ?
"us nerds" yeah you got that right! hahaha
Yeah and my brain hurts for saying it so much when I was buying one😂
Can someone help me ive brought this laptop recently it just give me garbage display and freeze a lot they change the unit for me but still the same problem i dont know how to fix it
Lol i felt that intro man
where can i get the wallpapers from?
Compare to legion 5 pro, which one is better? 😅
Why are there no screws on the battery lol ? Some other reviewer pointed it out that the battery was just floating there in the system. I came here to check if he had a faulty unit. But in this video aswell, the battery is not screwed down to anything 😂
Anyone tried to put 64gb of ram in this yet? Mines coming in the mail and I want to upgrade to 64 if I can but if not Imma order the 32gb and do that instead
Can this support 3x external monitors?
I bought one a few months ago and I'm liking it.
@matthew .. any idea sir.. when we are going to finally see gaming laptops with USB-c based charging and with a heavy duty graphics cards and CPU specs.. ideally we see USB-c based charging adapters only on business laptops..
Hey buddy,
Afaik, USB-C charging technology is currently limited to 140 watts, though I read somewhere that the newer 2.1 version can go upto 240 watts which can support beefier machines.
Hoping to see them next year 🤞🏼
How is the fan noise?
does it support windows 10 after downgrade ?
I have the 13500 hx and rtx 4050 variant. i must say, it keeps up with my other rtx 4060 laptop.
Can anyone tell me how the build quality is?

@Matthew Moniz i m confused between buying Acer Helios Neo 16 2023 165 Hz Display/i9-13900HX/RTX 4060 8GB Graphics/16 GB DDR5 5600 MHz RAM/512GB SSD vs Lenovo Legion Pro 5i 2023 165 Hz Display/i7-13700HX/RTX 4060 8GB graphics/32GB DDR5 4800 MHz RAM/1 TB SSD which one would be better to buy plz recommend me between one of these two thanks
#MatthewMoniz
Matt doesn't get into details about the systems he reviews anymore. It's a shame.
Like how Predator Sense profiles also boost power wattage depending on profile to GPU.
Predator > Legion
hey legion has full control over cpu , gpu wattage , fan speed in there vantage software and the best thing i like is conservative mode where battery doesnt charge and laptop runs directly from power supply. it helps keep battery life good i keep my battery charge at 60 and use this mode
@@devanshanil2468 Performance wise, Predator smashes Legion
@@HotelHeroBut the predator sense doesn't let your GPU or CPU undervolt or over clock. Which is one of the most important enthusiasts' tool in tuning your gaming laptop.
there should be comparing video of Acer Predator Helios 16 & Acer Predator Helios Neo 16
It does look good.
I bought this refurbished for $999 love it!
do an alienware x16 4080 review please!
in ph, this is 250usd cheaper than L5i pro
acer predator triton 17 x?
haha you're funny, thank you for your honest and detailed review
Hey bro, will you review the lenovo legion slim 7i?
Yup! Im actually recording that video later this week
There is one in Walmart for 19 dollars I don’t know if it’s true bcs it’s Black Friday sale someone help
I just got a legion slim 5i with i713700H and rtx 4060. I gotta say im pretty disappointed. Not with the build quality, thats great but the performance is games is very microstuttery. I returned it. Should I get the acer predator helios neo 16 😂? Is it smooth gameplay?
Hey guys i need some suggestion 😅
Helios 300 with i7 12700H , 32gb ram , 1tb ssd , rtx 3070 8gb - +100 price more
Orrr
Neo 16 i7 13700HX, 16gb ram, 512ssd , rtx 4060 8gb - 100 less
What do you guys think? Should i go with helios 300 2022 with 100 price more or neo 16 with 100 less . Thanks for future replies 😂
Hello which laptop did you get
Acer needs to make this thing invisible like the predator thing
What is the exact name of that mario game
Can this be used with 2 more external monitor and stay 165hz both of my external monitors?
Depending on ur monitors
He's right about the name...I told a coworker I have an Acer Predator Helios 300...and it's a long name to say
lmaoo in the pov of the less technically literate people, we be looking like nerds.
whats that mario game he was playing in this vid?
Nice Review !
Thank you! Cheers!
can anyone tell me the name of the mario game shown @3:30?? Thanks in advance!
Super Mario Bros. Wonder
not the neo 16 indian market offers , i like neo 16 in india better
Do i get the Acer Nitro 5 or the Nitro 16??
You looking to game mostly or?
@@makaveli5257 Yeah got the nitro 16 and its been perfect
.Hp Omen 16 2021:

.Acer Predator Helios Neo 16:
i9 13900hx, 4060, 16gb ddr5, 1Tb, qhd 16:10 1600p

.Is Neo16 far better for gaming?
.Is Neo16 more powerful cpu really useful for gaming?
.Are 500 vs 300 nits important for a good visual experience?
.Does the Neo 16 worth spending 600€/$ more?
Please and thanks
That's definitely a spot on nerd impression I gotta say if UA-cam doesn't work out for ya one day you'd make a hell of a good comedian matt😁 also love your videos
I'm getting the i7 13700HX RTX 4050 variant, looks promising!
I have found it on Best Buy ,it is still for the next 12h on sale
The only issues i might see its the RTX4050. What do you think , its enough ?
@andreiboamfa6225 if you want to play regular games that don't need too much requirement and play below 70 degrees, this is the perfect laptop. But also on best buy has a asus tuf rtx 4070 for 980, but that laptop temperature reaches over 90 degrees and you feel that your fingers are burning. You choose what you want
I brought the acer because I like play games under 70 degrees
@@andreiboamfa6225 bro rtx 4050 is so so so sooo good wdym....it's really future proof anything 4000 series related is completely safe for future and are top tiers
What mario game is that you playing
What monitor or TV would anyone recommend to go with this laptop in terms of resolution?
Bought it for 970USD with i513500HX + RTX 4050. Great price for an impressive performance
Bro tell more about it, did you find it good because I am thinking to buy it. Please reply asap.
@@anantapadmanabhmyatagiri It is. It performs particularly well at 1080p. If you play it above that, of course it won't do as well
Doesn't it have a TFT panel?
How is it?
Can I charge this laptop with thunderbolt port?
Yes, but limited to 65 watts, and will only run on the blanaced mode
any thoughts about the same specs but with i9 13900hx ?
got a good offer to buy one
but i want to make sure ill not got any problems with temps
Dream MAchines!))
Are the acer nitro 17 and the helios the same?
no nitro is budget laptop with decent build and specs while predator (helios) is top of the line most premium offering from the company.
also look for (60% srgb display and 100%srgb , or 100% DCIP3 it is the best but expensive) budget laptops usually has worse 60%srgb display only the upper models may have better display. ( cooling usualy will be better in premium laptops but may vary so seeing reviews is must)
@@devanshanil2468 thank you
which version of Mario is that?
i guess sticker guys department is doing good compared to their marketing department huh..
LOL seems so
How about the 4050 onr
My Neo 16 4050 is running fine. It’s as old as this comment of yours.
Not a computer person at all, can you play advance games like COD, any rpg, or high graphics game no problem? I saw the specs but my lack of knowledge just makes it look like just numbers and letters with no meaning.
what mario game is that??
undo the stickers and stick them at the bottom gang 🙌🏻
I think you should put the raw fan noise video for a comparison cause some of us wouldn't understand the decibal format, but great review nevertheless
Even if I put raw fan noise its not going to sound the same unless you hear it in person. Maybe ill put a chart up to give you an idea of different sounds that mimic each decibel range
@@MatthewMoniz ahh that's a good way to show the difference.
Thanks fam
I will name this laptop "Alejandro Juan Louise Matthew Martinez."
Got the i713500hx 4060 16gbddr5 1tb ssd US model from best buy. Anyone know if this exact model in the video has any problems. Been using it for 3 days so far, i havent had any issues. Predator sense may be a little bit glitchy tho, if I was you, i would get the legion cause the legion is very reliable and has customer support.
They can just call it Helios Neo 16 from the predator series... So the name will be just Helios Neo 16
Fool me once Predator....My predator the loudest, glitchiest keeps me using a 4.year old Lenovo as my daily😢
I like how unbiased you are all the time
Thank you !

Ngl, 18 inch laptops are starting to appeal to me..
acer loves recycling old designs and modifying it on their laptop motherboard... i have the worst experience on my acer helios 300(i7 10th 2060) which died after 2 years and seen allot of consumers with the same problems as i have... even on newer models causing overheating issues which kills the device permanently.. i dont know if i could trust acer again with their laptops
Msi stealth laptops will burn holes through their casing. Acer laptops are better and I do not regret leaving MSI and their shitty illegal alien customer support.
should just name it Acer Predator Neo
then change the N to the next alphabet cool word on the following year like linux distro did
