Acer Helios 16 Review - Great RTX 4060 Gaming Laptop

[@jeffenad5412]

In the Philippines, this Helios 16 with 16GB of RAM and the same CPU, GPU, and SSD will cost around 1400 USD or 1117 Pound on sale. While with i9 and RTX 4070, it will cost 1899 USD on sale.

[@MegaSantiago20]

I got an Acer Predator Helios 16” with RTX 4080 and 13th gen Intel i9 13900HX, 16GB RAM, and 1TB ssd, all that for $1700 because it was $700 off, and its a BEAST. GTA V on my 8K TV with maximun settings and the resolution set at 8K at 60Hz works smoothly probably at 60fps. I love it

[@timturner9315]

That's what I ended up with but with 32 GB of RAM, not that impressed and no mfg support. Many things don't work right.

[@Legenkilla]

I missed the damn sale. Makes me wanna return it as i just bought it full price lol

[@WateringDNami]

I'll pray for your cpu and motherboard

[@lefton_open15]

Same as the 4070 i only i find it for 1500$ 16gb ram but there’s no difference great laptop

[@alxjmrk]

What was the exact model number for this unit? The PH16-71-74UU is the model available here in the states with those specs, but some small details are hard to confim from model to model (mostly the panel they are using)

[@Sethsimracing]

I've been looking between the neo and the non neo, the neo is far cheaper. Was wondering why the non neo was so much more expensive myself. Great vid!

[@Mithileshx]

neo has cheap build quality and several issues like screen bleeding and micro stutters.

[@Sethsimracing]

@@Mithileshx Yeah, I finally ordered the PC! Just a couple days ago! Just went for the non neo myself!

[@DarkwarriorGamingandVideos]

​@@Mithileshx should i get asus tuf or this acer Predator? Which one last longer through the years , acer or asus ? Like i usually buy laptops every 4 years or so

[@williamrodriguez8005]

@@DarkwarriorGamingandVideos100% the predator Helios 16 it’s a amazing pc for the price and will be amazing for years to come and the ram is upgradable to 64gb of ram even tho it says it can only go to 32gb of ram it’s a absolutely unit of a laptop

[@WateringDNami]

You don't buy cheaper brands of lubes?

[@pho3nix-]

Can you turn of the RGB flashing on the backside?

[@lethalyoshie]

Yes. I bought this exact laptop today (lucky find on marketplace) and the controls for the RGB are fantastic, not bloated, simple, and straightforward. It was easy to customize the entire keyboard layout, and the back has 3 zones completely controllable. When the backlight goes to sleep it is synced with the back side. Definitely makes me rethink any future laptop purchase, just how easy this laptop has been to customize and set up.

[@pho3nix-]

@@lethalyoshie Nice! I eventually bought it too (not this exact version) but I was happy to see I was able to turn it off completely. Not a huge fan of bright lights. Overall I'm happy with my purchase.

[@timothyakindipe2855]

will this laptop be good for creating complex 3D designs ?

[@marwan3948]

I have it with core i9 and 4070 ! I wondering is better than lenovo legion 5 pro ?

[@Flub_Kub]

I have the Lenovo legion 5 pro. The acer feels flimsy but outperforms mine. Not my much, but the Lenovo slightly lags on gaming.

[@Aames32]

So would this be good for streaming and gaming? I'm sorry I'm pretty tech illiterate.

[@makaveli5257]

Absolutely my friend

[@archmagosdominusbelisarius8836]

You want to stream gaming as a tech illiterate? Huh

[@naveendynamond5089]

Can anyone give a solution to resolve the heating issue on this laptop while playing games it reaching 95 to 100 degree in Performance and Turbo mode. I'm using this in good air conditioning room and i have a laptop stand that make a gape btw my table and the laptop vent, but still the temperature goes high. I discussed with Acer support and service center but they didn't helped, they only cleaning the laptop vent and they said it will work now try for few days, again if i told the same they will reply like this It will happen playing games the temperature will go high it's common. But i know it never happens when i bought the laptop for a 6 months it works fine the temperature also maintained well like 60 to 75 degree. But after the 6th month i'm facing this heating issue it goes 100 constantly, i don't know how to fix this😔

[@benmonsta2506]

the 4060 verison at best buy now comes with the i9 chip

[@jasontomica8938]

But with only the 1080p screen

[@nickscorpo]

How do I turn off the back panel LED of the Predator Helios??????

[@geraltofrivia9015]

App predator sense

[@greysongaddy879]

I got this laptop it plays the same as the 4090 plus it’s a fraction of the cost save your money. 💸

Bruh-

[@CaJcPhotography]

Hey can someone help?! could i hdmi this to my 4k tv?

[@timturner9315]

I would happily accept a refund for a return but Acer won't back their products

[@nitupsar]

Why do you want to return it? i am planning to buy one, so would like to know if anything is wrong with the product as such!!

[@timturner9315]

@@nitupsar RGB keyboard lighting quit after two weeks, SENSE app didn't function properly and there is no updated version to fix it, had to learn that another version for another model fixed the SENSE App but not the keyboard lighting. No support except "send it back and we'll reformat it" I can do that but I put 3 weeks of work into it and I'm not doing that when I know that is the not the fix, it's a software issue. They will not troubleshoot with me over the phone. Awful support.

[@nitupsar]

@@timturner9315 Oh ok...that's not goodl!! Thanks for replying!! I'll definitely keep this in mind! Though one last question : did you buy the laptop online or from an acer store??

[@Frostbiteme]

@@timturner9315 I had some issues with the lighting not changing to the colors i wanted for a bit. I found that if you end task "Acer lighting service" and then restart laptop open predator sense once it comes back up your keyboard should be acting right for the time being. I noticed this happens for me when i power my laptop on when its not plugged into the HDMI source it was plugged into before powering off. Now that I've done this I've noticed that as long as i open predator sense as soon as i start up the lighting continues to act right. kind of hassle but hope this helps i know it was bugging me

[@potatocrispychip]

i got this one for free because my laptop in warranty broke

[@Mister_Soyuz_on_YT]

Broke? Or you found a work around your warranty before expiration date.

[@potatocrispychip]

@@Mister_Soyuz_on_YT sort of both i told them to keep arch linux installed so they didn't test it with FreeDOS Prob faulty charger they replaced the motherboard

[@potatocrispychip]

@@Mister_Soyuz_on_YT I told them not to install FreeBSD and keep Arch Linux. As soon as it got to me broke in 5 mins, returned the next day, got a laptop for free since they couldn't replace the faulty thing in time

[@potatocrispychip]

@@Mister_Soyuz_on_YT youtube censorship... I told them not to format the laptop, it broke 5 mins later at home, returned the next day to the repair center and they couldn't replace the part in time. Prob faulty charger since they only replaced the motherboard
