宏碁掠夺者 Helios Neo 16S AI (PHN16S-71) 评测–OLED 惊艳，性能逊色
Source: PC Online.com.cn
当把它与华硕 ROG Strix G16（详细评测）或微星 Vector 16 HX AI（详细评测）等竞争对手放在一起时，两者在理念上的差异非常明显。竞争对手的产品更厚、更重，不可否认的是，它们的性能也更强大，从元件中榨取每一滴性能。Helios Neo 16S AI 并没有试图赢得这场战斗。相反，它以出色的便携性和令人叹为观止的 OLED 显示屏作为反击，这是竞争对手无法比拟的。决定权在于优先级：您是想要一台更厚、更强劲的设备以获得最高帧率，还是想要一台纤薄、优雅的设备，配备同类最佳的屏幕，提供更均衡的体验（尽管性能不那么强劲）？

Acer Helios Neo 16S Makes the ASUS ROG G16 Look Overpriced!
Source: Matthew Moniz
This is the brand-new Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S, and while the name might not win any awards, the performance and value just might. For years, the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 has been the gold standard for 16-inch gaming laptops, but it comes at a steep price of around $2,600. The Helios Neo 16S, on sale for $1,700, undercuts it by nearly $900 — and here’s the crazy part: the specs are nearly identical.

90% Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S AI Review
Source: Trusted Reviews EN→zh-CN
The Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S AI is a fantastic, large-screen gaming laptop that blends power and portability beautifully for the right price. It’s a capable gaming machine in a svelte chassis with good ports, as well as a capable 16-inch OLED panel. The battery life may not be as strong as key rivals, though. The MSI Stealth A16 AI+ (2025) will go for longer and comes with remarkably similar performance to Acer’s choice, while also being lighter and more portable. However, at nearly £1000/$1000 more, you aren’t necessarily getting all too much more, making the Predator Helios Neo 16S AI a fantastic proposition for the price.

70% Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S AI review: An OLED steal
Source: PC World EN→zh-CN
If you want a 16-inch OLED with 240Hz refresh rate for under $2,000, you should seriously consider this machine. Asus’s ROG Zephyrus G16 is another 16-inch laptop with an RTX 5070 Ti, a slower Intel Core Ultra 9 285H CPU, and a 240Hz refresh rate, and Asus’s online store has it at $2,799 as I’m wrapping up this review. The Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S AI tries a few other gimmicks. The “AI” branding isn’t a reason to buy this PC over another gaming laptop. And the RTX 5070 Ti GPU — a win on paper — is held back and doesn’t deliver the theoretical high-end performance it might. If you aren’t excited by this OLED at this price, I recommend you consider other options. This display at this price is this machine’s standout feature, not AI.

90% Performance-hungry creatives need look no further than the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 AI
Source: Creative Bloq EN→zh-CN
The Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 AI has been a delight to test. With the latest in CPU and GPU technology, this is a laptop that is built for even the most demanding of creative workflows. Unfortunately, all of this power needs a beefier battery than has been supplied, and it means the laptop will only last around three hours before needing a recharge. Beyond performance considerations, this is a well-built laptop that is a joy to use.

Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S AI (PHN16S-71) review – OLED Stunner, Performance Underdog
Source: Laptop Media EN→zh-CN
The Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S AI (PHN16S-71) is a fascinating exercise in deliberate choices. Instead of chasing the absolute highest frame rates, Acer has crafted a machine that prioritizes a premium user experience through a stunning display and a remarkably portable design. It’s a high-end gaming laptop for those who value elegance and visual fidelity as much as, if not more than, raw, unthrottled power. This laptop carves out a unique niche, appealing to a user who wants a powerful, do-it-all machine that doesn’t scream “gamer” and is a joy to look at, both in terms of its physical design and its incredible screen. When placed against rivals like the ASUS ROG Strix G16 (detailed review) or the MSI Vector 16 HX AI (detailed review), the difference in philosophy is stark. Competitors are thicker, heavier, and undeniably more powerful, squeezing every last drop of performance from their components.

80% Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S AI review: perfect price to power balance?
Source: T3 EN→zh-CN
Acer's 16-inch Predator Helios Neo gaming laptop is certainly slim, although its design isn't really pushing the envelope. Its price, however, is really competitive, which makes it a great option if you're not pushing for the thinnest and lightest possible gaming laptop and just want high-end gaming guaranteed – for less than the key competition.

Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 AI (2025) hands-on review: A mid-range monster?
Source: Tom's Guide EN→zh-CN
I know I talked about both the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 AI and 18 AI here, but my focus is on that 16-inch model. With that OLED screen and powerful specs, this could be a mighty machine of portable gaming. There are some things to worry about here, such as the sheer weight of it and the battery life concerns. But all things considered, Acer’s made improvements where it matters, and I’m excited to see how it fares in our lab testing.

The Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S AI has my must-have gaming laptop features for sensible money
Source: Stuff TV EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
How much do you care about aesthetics? While I’d personally pay that little bit extra for the sleek styling of an Asus Zephyrus or Razer Blade, plenty of gamers will be more bothered about the hardware inside their laptops rather than how they look on the outside. If you fall into the latter camp, the Predator Helios Neo 16S AI is absolutely worth a look. It has ample amounts of power on tap, a GPU that’s well matched to the resolution of that gorgeous OLED screen, and enough ports to replace your desktop tower – yet is still just about portable enough to take travelling. Loud fans and merely OK battery life mean it isn’t fully multi-purpose, but it gets very close. Considering how much it undercuts its rivals, those are compromises you could happily live with. It’s a whole lot of gaming laptop for your money, with a stunner of a screen (if you pick the right spec). The Predator Helios Neo 16S AI doesn’t wow like some pricier rivals on the design front, though.

70% Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S AI (2025): 5060 vs 5070 – Which One’s Worth Your Money?
Source: Gadgetbyte Nepal EN→zh-CN
Okay, as we've reached the end of this review, I really loved this new Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S AI. It has everything I need, including a beautiful OLED display, a slim, professional design, powerful performance, and plenty of ports! Saying that, we also have other options in this price range, like the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 2025 for NPR 244,999, which comes with AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX and RTX 5060 graphics. But here's the thing – we get a much faster CPU on the Acer, and the Legion also lacks that 240Hz fast refresh rate. So adding that extra NPR 8,000 for the Acer is absolutely worth it. And at NPR 252,999, the Ultra 7 255HX with RTX 5060 makes way more sense and offers better value for money compared to the Ultra 9 275HX with RTX 5070. So the RTX 5060 configuration is definitely the sweet spot here, but if you need that extra raw power, you can always go with the RTX 5070 option.
