The Predator Helios Neo 16 isn't lacking in external connections, though, with ports on each side and also on the back edge. For starters, the power connector is located on the back, which is an arrangement I like because it means you can remain comfortably plugged in whether you're sitting to the left or right of the nearest outlet, and it keeps the cable out of the way on a desk. Also on the back are two USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports and an HDMI port, so display and external storage cables won't add to desk clutter, either. Elsewhere, you get a USB-A port, an Ethernet jack, a combo audio port and a microSD card slot on the left and two more USB-A ports on the right edge. All things being equal -- and the list price for each is $1,200 for the RTX 4050 configs we tested -- the Predator Helios Neo 16 has the edge over the Nitro 16 for its faster frame rates, aluminum top cover and higher-resolution webcam.

The Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 sacrifices portability and a truly budget price in the name of additional power. While remaining relatively budget-friendly, this gaming laptop packs serious processing chops, and Acer optimizes its internals to deliver respectable 1080p (or 1200p) gameplay from an RTX 4050. Its keyboard and chassis design won't win it any awards, but its display is a cut above for the price. And you might find this model on sale, if you're lucky; that would make the whole package a borderline Editors' Choice pick for us, at $100 or $200 less. If you largely keep your laptop in one place, the Neo 16 is well worth considering. It's just that the Gigabyte Aorus 15 BMF is the surer budget bet.

For an RRP of R37 999, the Acer Helios Neo 16 merely flutters among stars when it comes to raw performance power. You will not be disappointed by its capabilities in this department, but it’s not quite the Sun yet, despite its name. Solid RAM, discrete graphics, display, and processor for the price range, but this is offset by the fact that it must be plugged in to be truly enjoyed, it desperately needs more storage space and it’s bloated with needless software. It is a desktop PC masquerading as a notebook, but overall it has real potential for a patient soul willing to put up with its quirks.

So in conclusion, the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 is not the easy recommendation I was hoping it would be. Yes, it offers great 1080p (and even 1440p) gaming results — with commendable thermals, display, and everything. But I’m not sure if all that’s enough to justify its price tag versus all the competition. Especially since a couple of them with more powerful last-gen RTX 3070 Ti graphics are currently available at much lower prices than what Acer is asking for this thing. But if you really want DLSS 3 — which is unfortunately exclusive to the RTX 40 series — and if you can find it on some amazing deals, then the Helios Neo 16 is definitely worth grabbing as well. The Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 (2023) gets almost everything right. A bit more aggressive pricing would've been 10/10 but the Helios Neo 16 is a fantastic gaming laptop for everything it offers.

Acer offers a sidegrade to its mainstream Predator gaming lineup with this 'Neo' variant, which proves to be a fine laptop given its sensible pricing and good performance. It also offers a fantastic display and good thermal performance - just be prepared for the fans to get noisy when you're gaming on it.

I can see what Acer is trying to do with the Predator Helios Neo, but I think it’s missed the mark. To pitch a machine above the Nitro range convincingly, they should have added some genuinely enhanced features like a 1080p webcam, biometric security, a 240Hz display and a 1TD SSD as standard. And maybe make it smaller and lighter. That would have put some clear water between the Neo and the high-end Nitro 16, which, remember, for the exact same price, can be picked up with a more powerful RTX 4070 GPU, more memory and a higher-resolution display. As it stands, the Predator Helios Neo is a perfectly decent gaming laptop, but I can’t think of a single reason to buy it over the Nitro 16 unless you absolutely must have three rather than two USB-A ports and Thunderbolt rather than USB 3.2 Gen 2 spec Type-C ports which the Nitro has thanks to its, admittedly less powerful, AMD Ryzen CPU.

It goes without saying you’re probably going to get less for your money when you buy a laptop that costs approximately $1,000 rather than a laptop that costs 3,000 to $4,000. But what do you compromise on for spending less – CPU / GPU power? Ports? A smaller display? A less than optional keyboard? Thankfully, you don’t have to miss out on any of these all-important factors with the Helios Neo 16, which makes it an excellent value-for-money proposition for gamers on a budget.

As it happens, Acer sells two devices that share almost the same name. While the Helios Neo 16 might sound like something new, or a laptop out of The Matrix, it is nothing more than a rebranded Acer Nitro 16. This is not bad, of course, as you get two Thunderbolt 4 ports and a MicroSD card slot. In addition, the CPU is treated to a liquid metal thermal compound. To be honest, though, it made very little, if any difference. Acer has to get on top of the low P-core clocks issue. We are pretty confident that this can be done over-the-air, via an update to the firmware, or the BIOS. Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 (PHN16-71)’s IPS panel has a WQXGA resolution, comfortable viewing angles, a very high maximum brightness, and a good contrast ratio. Its backlight doesn’t use PWM for brightness adjustment, which makes the laptop great for long gaming sessions.

The look of the laptop is slick enough to be suitable in a working environment, but has enough flair to also fit in among the gaming users. I can see a lot of users who play games and dabble in content creation using a machine like this to cover all their needs while remaining somewhat mobile. It’s a highly capable machine, so if you’re looking for something with a lot of bang for your buck, it’s worth jumping on the current special.

A laptop built for raw gaming power above all else, the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 helps games run and look their best. It makes a lot of noise and has a short battery life, which are reasonable trade-offs for those wanting a high-powered gaming laptop.

The Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 isn’t a terribly glamorous machine, with a hefty design that’s only further weighed down by all the plastic in its construction. But what lurks underneath all that is some wonderfully viable hardware for gaming. Acer has nailed the functional aspects of the design, with an effective cooling system and ample power delivery to the components helping the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 beat similarly configured competitors at just about every turn. All of that speed is piped out of a display that’s more than good enough to game on, and with plenty of ports, it’s a system that’s ready to plop down into a desktop setup when you want a bigger screen.’ High performance always comes at a price, and the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 is no budget laptop, but it’s a reasonable price for the hardware packed in.

The Acer Helios Neo 16 is a refresh that really invests in and builds upon the version from last year. Not only has the 16-inch QHD+ display been upgraded to a 240Hz refresh rate, but the other specs are solid, it has an incredible port selection, and its design is unique and downright cool. It's a well-balanced gaming laptop that's perfect for those looking for a great gaming machine that doesn't break the bank.
