Acer Predator Helios 16 laptop review

90% Acer Predator Helios 16 laptop review: A quiet gaming laptop with many strengths

An economical RTX 4060. The Acer Predator Helios 16 is simultaneously a solid and quiet gaming laptop with many high-end aspects. Thanks to the economical RTX 4060 and its mature cooling system, gaming sessions will not result in sudden deafness despite the potent 16-core CPU. We were also positively surprised by the fast QHD display and although we were not dealing with the mini-LED display variant, its deployment can be found in the key lighting.

The Pro 15 for budget foxes. If you can do without a metal case and a full RGB keyboard, you do not necessarily have to go for the expensive XMG Pro 15. In our test, the XMG Focus 15 is just as performant and only has to take a back seat in few aspects. In return, the base price of the Focus 15 is about €400 less than that of the Pro 15 for practically similar performance.

The new MSI Stealth 14 Studio was presented at the beginning of this year and aside from targeting gamers, the device also aims to speak to users who are searching for great performance within a compact 14-inch case. The Core i7-13700H and GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop's performance has hit the mark, however, the laptop isn't without its flaws: its keyboard and short runtimes, to name a few.

Annoying fan & reduced performance. Acer have updated their Swift X 14 - this time giving the multimedia laptop a fresh new case, a new OLED panel as well as new components from Intel and Nvidia. Unfortunately, the total package of this $1,400 device seems to only impress on paper and next to its relatively short battery life in everyday use, the laptop's cooling system also proves to cause some issues.
