Acer has made their Helios gaming laptop bigger than ever this year with their new Helios 18, but is bigger actually better? There’s one problem that I didn’t expect to see with a larger 18” design.

@YogeeshHegdev 9 месяцев назад

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.

@DrShahHaqHu 9 месяцев назад

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 ?

@jbsabas 9 месяцев назад

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?

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.

@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep 20 дней назад

just tried the 2024 model with 4080 and noticed no stuttering, the only thing that happened was after maybe 8 hours of running overwatch on everything maxed on the 1440p screen the app froze and I had to restart it so I don't know what that was from if that was the computer or an app issue. I ended up returning it and getting the 4090 version that also had the mini led screen because it was on sale for just 150 dollars more. the system latency is really low it feels really nice to play on.

@iGoldenBen 9 месяцев назад

I bought this exact model today and I'm very impressed. I think the quality of the chassis is top notch, heavy but sturdy. Performance is buttery smooth. Screen brightness and picture quality/contrast is great. Nicest screen I've seen on a laptop. Was gonna go for a 4090 model, but they're silly money. I did have a few issues with artifacts due to the igpu being selected instead of the 4080, but great now. I use noise cancelling headphones and can't even hear the fans.

Same ports as the Helios 16 with RTX 4070 by the looks of it. Also yes that Predator boot sound is obnoxious, try listening to that on repeat during Windows updates, argh, glad it could be disabled. Seeing inside, it looks like a bit of wasted space where they could have opted for better cooling management. I'm disappointed that Eco mode can't be used while plugged in & the placement of the Predator Sense key on all models.

Do you recommend buying this or the asus rog strix 18 4080

@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep 20 дней назад

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.

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.

My friend you may be the only that can help me with asus tuf gaming fx705DY... It plays ok for low medium specs it is equipped but though the heavy division 2 is playable with the old rx560x (40 fps medium to high) ....well my problem is i dont know the problem its internet or the asus m3 mouse. My character sometimes in matchmaking when playing with others is in auto run and its unplayable!! I did everything possible its not the gpu or cpu power i think but my internet is 90mbs down 10up so can be the mouse? I used some non gaming it didnt happen but its not an all time issue. It can happen in daytime sometimes it can dissapear for longtime periods in nights i play it. Thanx in advance its the only with cyberpunk i play i dont like modern games i like this benchmarking you make but thats another topic ha😅😅😅ha
