Does the Acer Helios Neo 16 have a battery conservation option like Lenovo's laptop ? My Lenovo Legion 5P is nearing 3 years of usage and the total battery capacity has only been reduced by 2% out of 80Wh. edit: Acer does have battery conservation through Acer's Care Center software which stops battery from charging when reaching 80% capacity.

Hello Jarrod, I love your videos man! It's been helping me quite a lot on researching to buy a decent gaming laptop under a certain amount of budget and I have selected two models which I've liked the most. They are "Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 PHN16 | 2023 Model | 16.0 inch WUXGA Display 165Hz Gaming Laptop ( i5-13500HX, 16GB, 512GB SSD, RTX 4050 6GB (Max TDP-140), W11 )" and "Gigabyte G5 KE | 2022 Model | 15.6″ FHD 144Hz Display Laptop ( i5-12500H, 8GB, 512GB SSD, RTX3060 6GB (Max TDP- 115W), W11 )". Can you please help me out on selecting the best suited one considering overall bases (e.g. Performance, Monitor, Thermal Management, Build quality, longevity)?

May I ask what your pick is for a dual-boot Windows/Linux system? For example, Lenovo is pretty good and supports many features in the boot, and hotkeys are working fine, including coolers mode. At the same time, on the Asus series, I had some problems with bios (each time I switched systems, the time was messed up), and some hotkeys, including cooler modes, didn't work. What alternatives to Lenovo laptops exist?

@muhamadhafizabdullah4841 11 месяцев назад

Acer with their Nitro 16 7840HS + 4060 and Asus TUF F15 with 12700H + 4060 really surprised with some budget pricing right out of the gates! The efficiency advantage of the 40 series may be handy for people living in warmer climates along with Frame Gen. Also not all full power 3070Ti laptops are equally fast, as the 3070Ti is very power dependent and there is like a 5% difference between various laptops (like comparing a 3070Ti Omen against a 3070Ti Legion).

@teddym2808 11 месяцев назад

I do find this interesting. I disabled 8 E cores on my GT77 and did a slight undervolt in bios (-0.50, I was scared lol). Basically all CPU power was devoted to 16 cores rather than 24. I got 27.9 K cinebench (13980HX running 16 cores/24 threads) vs 32.8K with stock standard 24 core no undervolt settings. I actually think, since the clock speeds were noticeably higher, it makes much more sense in almost all scenarios to run 16 cores rather than 24. There's no game that can benefit from 24 cores. All cores in this mode ran at maximum all core turbo speeds without throttle, both P and E cores. When 24 cores are enabled, the P cores start at 4.8 in cinebench but settle to an all P core of 4.5 due to thermals. This is with no undervolt though. Still, a maintained 4.5 is impressive in such a gargantuan laptop chip, but my games are legit running better with 16 cores, and in some cases, even better with ALL E cores disabled (scroll lock shortcut disables them, need to use OSK since laptop doesn't have physical scroll lock key). My Timespy as stock out of the box was over 18K on cpu and 22.1K total score. It really goes to show the crazy wattage the massive GT77 can provide vs a relative compact 16" like this, as 16 cores here netted just under 20K in CB. After all, it's identical processor architecture. Single core performance is up when power is all devoted to less cores, it benefits in every way unless you are doing hard core video RENDERING and want the all core grunt. My GT77 hit 220W in CB R23 LOL but the latest bios caps it to 120W in all modes, it's a known bug, so GT77 users, do NOT update your bios till MSI fixes this! I am very impressed with the 16 core thermals of this little Acer laptop. Indeed.

@entique4216 7 месяцев назад

i dont understand 100% of what you said, but i got some weird thing with this product. Our predator i5 13500hx or i9 13900HX when testing (render premier or AIDA64, cpu burner) it wont load 100% or only a few sec (usually 80% with 1.6GHZ even with maximum setting). but when i went to bios and disable E core, it runs perfectly fine. But the same CPU on legion works fine without needing to change any setting

@Momosblackdog 7 месяцев назад

I have no idea what you just said.

@realnapster1522 4 месяца назад

It’s a gaming laptop like none other at this price point. Punches well above its weight and thermals are extremely advanced compared to other laptops. Plus points are thermals and display quality. While minus point is weight and battery life.

@greebj 23 дня назад

That's a bit pointless to disable E cores which are basically only useful in workloads like cinebench. Doing this doesn't make any difference in games because the E cores are sleeping anyway. Disabling HT on the P cores can improve game fps very slightly.

I think I'd rather just get the Helios 16 rather than the Neo, since the Neo is plastic & I'm too used to the premium aluminium feel of older Acers (& I hate the flex of plastic). Both models I have available to me are RTX 4070 & say they can last up to 8 hours (battery life for Li-ion has gotten pretty bad & I hate Li-po). It's kind of weird how keyboards minimize the shift to fit full sized arrow keys, it's a bit unnecessary.

How does this laptop compare to asus strix advantage edition rx 6800m in terms of 4k gaming?

@VryanMMA 11 месяцев назад

Bought this one for 999$ for college and gaming. Outside of the laptop sometimes getting a tad bit too hot, I believe it's definitely a steal

Can I ask where and when did you get it at that price? Also a student trying to save money

@VryanMMA 11 месяцев назад

@@user-he4ml9lo2c it's at best buy from where I'm at. It was initially 1.3k but it was on sale for 999$. Don't know if the sale is still up

@@VryanMMA rip no. but I see they put up different sku with same model number yesterday and it was $1199 pre-tax so good enough for me! (today that's gone and sku with $1549 is back up

The design really impress me ngl. If i were able to get another laptop, it might be this laptop. And it's has better value than ROG Strix G16

The 85w cpu cap with cooling fan might be a firmware issue limiting wattage to the cpu due to a high draw usb cooling fan?

@craponAsPTULA 8 месяцев назад

Will you be making a video on the Acer Predator Helios with the 4080? Curious to see the actual wattage and if the cooling system can keep up.

Helios 18, yes, 16, no - blame Acer 😛

Thanks Jarrod waiting for this review ✌️✌️✌️can u do same with MSI Katana 15/17

@kedarsaurav 11 месяцев назад

I own this laptop with this exact same configuration. I have to say I'm really having fun playing games on it. Didn't really mind the bad things that Jarrod pointed out. Didn't really even know that they were bad things until he said that they were. Didn't really mind the framerates as anything above 60fps at high settings is playable anyway. The price in my country is well below msi gp77 which made me choose this one. Also the last year's model with 3070 still has more price than this one.

I am sure the real difference would come when using dlss 3.0, which was not used here. Dlss 3.0 frame generation is only supported by 4xx cards, and it gives min 30-40% bump over the last gen cards. Nvidia heavily marketed this feature for 4x cards, and Digital Foundary has also made a video about it. Tensor cores have also improved, so you will definitely get better results in Ray tracing scenarios. I had Predator 300 with rtx 3060 and recently brought predator helios 16 with rtx 4070. Generation on generation performance for 4xx cards are pathetic, but dlss 3.0 surely gives a nice boost to the frames.

@JarrodsTech 8 месяцев назад

DLSS 3 cannot be used to fairly compare. We test with it on/off in the RTX 40 vs 30 comparisons to demontrate it, but that's it.

@RRRRapify 5 месяцев назад

I'm thinking of getting this Neo 16 or the Legion 5 slim. Which do you think has the better build quality? I could get a better deal with the Neo 16 but I had bad experience with Acer's aspire before so I'm kinda reluctant.

@bramhateja4627 3 месяца назад

Which one you bought ?

@Capristar 10 месяцев назад

Hi Jarrod, is the Helios Neo 16 with i5-13500HX RTX4050 will be a good buy? I'm a little low on the budget to get the same specs featured here using 13700HX + 4060. I also found a variant using 13700HX but for 4050, however still on the expensive side. Alternatively, what if I am to compare Helios Neo 16 13500HX 4050 against Asus TUF Gaming A15 using R7-7735HS + 4060? I heard Helios is better than TUF. Please advise. There is a sale going on today and I am planning to buy it later. Thank you in advance.

I see many business and workstation laptop not focusing on thermals like gaming laptop and thats a same . I am a software engineer with a dell precision laptop with 13800h and when all my tools and projects are up the CPU stays at 50-70% and laptop never stays above 3ghz because of thermals . The Highest temperature measure was 101c and average per core around 80C
