The Acer Predator Helios Neo 14 isn’t a love-at-first-sight laptop. But after getting to know it, I could see myself being happy using it every day for gaming and working. I’m not thrilled with its trackpad, but its keyboard is one of the most comfortable I’ve ever used for typing short emails or long pages of text. It’s much cheaper than flashier gaming laptops, cranks out high frame rates even in demanding games, stays cool, and the battery lasts over eight hours. It’s everything you’d expect from a gaming laptop, plus a little extra.

Yes, it’s a great laptop for on-the-go content developers who can’t compromise on graphics performance. The Acer Predator Helios Neo 14 is a tad chunky for a 14-inch laptop, but it’s still easier to tote around than a 16-inch laptop with similar performance. It doesn’t just push out frames—it runs its Nvidia RTX 4070 graphics card at a higher power than most other gaming laptops, and it does so while still keeping cool enough to avoid throttling. The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 isn’t quite as powerful (its RTX 4070 is power-capped at 90 watts unlike the Helios Neo 14’s), but in return, you get a laptop with one of the best OLED displays on the market, fantastic audio, a 12-hour battery life, and aesthetics that rival Apple’s MacBooks.

The Acer Predator Helios Neo 14 (PHN14-51) ticks the most important checkmarks when it comes to a gaming laptop. This includes very good CPU and GPU performance, a great display, and goodies such as MUX switch and G-SYNC. So, that’s a 14-incher, but the P and E cores of the Core Ultra 7 155H can boost to 3.70 GHz / 2.65 GHz in long processor stress such as 3D rendering which is a superb result. The GPU runs at ~2514 MHz / 124W during gaming which is enough for a high FPS alongside bumped visuals. Now, in “Turbo” mode, the fans are noisy but not too intrusive. If you apply the “Performance” preset, this will result in much less noise, a bit hindered CPU clocks, and ~100W GPU TGP which is still fine even for more demanding games. In this scenario, the right side of the board feels hot (but not too much) while the thermals of the WASD section are normal.
