Pulled the trigger on the neo 16 4050. Was on sale for $799 during black friday best buy deals. Loving it so far tbh. I’ve only ever played on console. Happy with it thus far no complaints 👍
@@black-gj5gx Its been amazing. The thermals and display has been the two things that stand out. One nitpick would be the audio. Its kinda mid. But headphones solves the issue for music and games.
@@youtubeultron4603 i run it on turbo mode for when im playing along with a cooling fan stand. Noise isnt loud compared to other laptops in the pricerange. Fairly quiet
The Helios Neo has two M.2 slot. Strange many people didn't see it. Love the thermal, great in game perf and fps on shooters, especially sweety early hot drop in BR games.
@@akashreddy9449 yes definitely!! i have one from 2 years ago, still the performance is as great as the first day, depends on how much you take care of it or if you take it out a lot
Would you recommend the Neo 16 for content creating mainly video editing in adobe premier? You mentioned the color gamut is good on the Neo how does that benefit video editing? Sorry I don't know much about pcs. Also aside from the dedicated gpu, the the Neo 16 comes with built in UHD graphic card which is inferior to the Intel Iris XE graphics would this make a difference at all for video editing? There are other models with worse display and slightly lower (acer nitro 5 i7-12700h specifically) processor with the Iris XE gpu but given all other specs are equal would you recommend this over them? Thanks.
Mate, try and get your hands on the acer triton 4090 +i9+ mini led. I think that would be a solid contender to scar and legion. Love your in depth analysis btw.
@@jebuscrustgaming1325 i had no issues with it. i do 3d animation in blender it never disappointed me. gaming experience overall good all the time average under 80 c temp cpu and gpu temp.
Just picked up a excellent open box omen 16 for $725 last week durihg open box sale event. Setting it up right now and probably best $725 i ever spent..
THIS IS IMPORTANT: Hello, Brandon (Gizmo). I want to buy laptop for 800 dollars. I chose Omen 16 with i5 13420H and rtx4050 for this money. Do you have any other suggestions?
The internals of acer helios neo DOES have second nvme slot, it’s located beside the rams, it’s kinda concealed near the edge of between 2 rams on the right. You can see the screw on the far right for second nvme.
you do the best reviews I've seen so far but why would you review i5 variations!? 😢 it's obvious how they would perform. I'm looking for i9 variation reviews
don't do a comparison of different laptop if you can't even see the 2nd m.2 slot. you're basically saying to us that you don't know anything about the internal.
Hi I want to get a gaming laptop.My choices are: 1.Laptop Gaming HP OMEN 17-ck0011nq cu procesor Intel® Core™ i5-11400H pana la 4.50 GHz, 17.3", Full HD, IPS, 16GB, 512GB SSD, NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3060 6GB, 2.Laptop Gaming HP Omen 16-wd0000nq, Intel Core i5-13420H pana la 4.6GHz, 16" FHD, 16GB, SSD 512GB, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 6GB 3.Laptop gaming LENOVO IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ARH7, AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS pana la 4.5GHz, 15.6" Full HD, 16GB, SSD 512GB, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 6GB 4.Laptop Gaming Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15IAH7 cu procesor Intel® Core™ i5-12450H pana la 4.40 GHz, 15.6", Full HD, IPS, 16GB DDR4, 512GB SSD, GeForce RTX 3060 6GB They are all at the almost same price.I got a year ago an Ideapad gaming 3 with i5 12450h rtx 3050ti and I had to return it because the battery was discharging while it was plugged in(the charger wasn't powerful enough to keep the laptop charged).Which one is better for longevity,I heard that the hp are better but I need your opinion.
should i get the acer nitro 5 4050 i5-12500h 16 ram for 879 or the gigabyte 4060 i5-12500h 8 ram for 899 i heard that the acer is better if its 4050 you reviewed both of them help me
Im a producer just like you, I would suggest the helios neo 16 cuz it has better durability specially that u will be using Vst’s and alot of plugins and as he said in the video better fan system and thermals, the speakers dznt really matter cuz u will be using headphones so yeah… me myself I ordered neo 16 still waiting for the package lmao
I think the omen will run cheaper than what is shown as he also mentioned he got it for 900 or something but the price increased... Coz i got mine a few days ago for 1200 euros with a rtx 4060.. so in america it would probably be around a 1000 dollars which makes it a much better option considering you get a 4060 with 200 dollars less.
Gotcha. Higher resolution means harder to run at native resolution, but you can use upscaling like dlss to mitigate. Higher resoltion can be great if you have great eye sight though.
Just bought the Neo for $899 to enter the matrix with my video editing! I hope it does well, I don't get why no one runs video editing benchmarks? export some video to see how fast it exports not everyone is a hardcore gamer yo. Thanks for the review tho helped me pull the trigger on this one!
@@maanas126 so far so good I've edited many videos so far with this computer and it is light speed ahead of my old Acer Swift 3. It has saved me hours in editing. Best buy has it on sale now for 799 crazy good price. I did upgrade it to 32 gb ram and added a 1 tb SSD to the available slot inside the computer
Are omen laptops worth buying for long run and does this laptop have good battery life i have heard that intel i5 13 gen battery is average compared ryzen laptops live lenovo 7840hs which has 60wh battery but it more battery life than 83 wh battery of hp omen is this true? plss reply @GizmoSlipTech
Yes Ryzen has much longer battery life. All AMD laptops are better for battery. But watch Jarrods tech channel to check reviews before you make a decision. I think Legion and Acer Neo 16 are best choices at this price point.
