Reviews for the Acer Predator Helios 16 AI PH16-73
Source: Creative Bloq

There’s laptops which exist to prove a point, to showcase the skills of engineers, to meet imagined rather than real need. The Acer Predator Helios 16 AI is one such example, meant to display unmatched power over everything else, and it mostly succeeds. Power is something it has in abundance, there’s nary a task outside of very specialised work that can trouble it. But it is big, heavy, noisy and needs to live plugged in. If you need the most power money can buy, it’s for you, for others, there’s more specialised options available elsewhere.
