Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 (2024) review: Gaming laptop with RTX 4070 and DCI-P3 panel

Power hungry.

The Helio Neo 16 offers a bright and color-accurate 16-inch display (2560x1600 pixels, 240 Hz, DCI-P3) in the 16:10 format, 32 GB of RAM, and two Thunderbolt 4 ports (Power Delivery). The powerful laptop is run by a Core i7-14700HX together with a GeForce RTX 4070.

With the Predator Helios Neo 16, Acer adds another model to the segment of midrange gaming laptops. The hardware corresponds to the targeted usage scenarios of gaming, rendering, and streaming: a Core i7-14700HX, a GeForce RTX 4070, 32 GB of RAM, and a bright IPS display with accurate colors (DCI-P3) in the 16:10 format.

While the Helios resembles its predecessor, they don't share exactly the same build. The competitors include other laptops such as the Aorus 16X 2024, Alienware m16 R2, HP Omen Transcend 16, Asus TUF Gaming A17 FA707XI, and Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX9.

Case - Acer uses plastic and aluminum

The case shows good workmanship. Even though the plastic base unit and aluminum lid can be warped slightly, this remains within limits. Pressure on the back of the display lid doesn't cause any image artifacts. The hinges hold the lid tightly in place, with a maximum opening angle of about 150 degrees. The lid can be opened using a single hand.

In terms of the case color, black is dominating and only the fan vent covers in the back have a lighter gray color tone. Some color is added by the keyboard illumination and the illuminated Predator logo on the back of the lid.

Equipment - The Predator is equipped with Thunderbolt 4

The well-rounded connection equipment includes three USB-A ports (1x USB 3.2 Gen 1, 2x USB 3.2 Gen 2), two USB-C ports (Thunderbolt 4; Power Delivery, DisplayPort), and three video ports (HDMI 2.1, 2x DP). The available connections are completed by an audio port and a Gigabit Ethernet port (2.5 Gbit/s).

The video and power ports are positioned on the back of the laptop, so the corresponding cables would run in the back and not be in the way. Acer has placed the rest of the ports in the center of the right and left sides, and the areas next to the palm rests remain mostly free of any cables.

SD Card Reader

The microSD storage card reader (reference card: AV PRO microSD 128 GB V60) runs at a leisurely pace, with maximum transfer rates of 20 MB/s (transferring 250 jpg files at 5 MB each) and 25.8 MB/s (copying large data blocks), which is not up to the current standards anymore. The competitors do significantly better here.

Communication

Under optimal conditions (no WLAN devices in close proximity and close distance between the laptop and server PC), the Acer laptop reaches very good WiFi data rates. Both the WiFi 6E chip (AX1675i a.k.a. Intel AX211) and Gigabit Ethernet controller (E3100G; 2.5 Gbit/s) come from Killer.

Accessories

The laptop does not include any additional accessories besides the usual documents (quick-start manual and warranty information).

Maintenance

Removing the bottom plate gives access to the SSD (PCIe 4, M.2-2280) and second SSD slot (PCIe 4, M.2-2280), the WLAN module, the fans, and the battery. The working memory with its slots (both occupied) is hidden underneath an additional screwed-in cover.

Warranty

Acer offers a two-year warranty (sending it in for repair) for the 16-inch laptop. You can expand the warranty to three years for an additional ~100 Euros (~$108).

Input Devices - The keyboard offers RGB illumination

Keyboard

Acer is using an overall average chicklet keyboard (with RGB illumination) that is suitable for everyday tasks and neither stands out positively nor negatively. Its smooth keys offer a short stroke, clear pressure point, and decent amount of resistance. The keyboard has some minimal give while typing, which didn't turn out to be any hindrance. The fact that the four arrow keys have regular size is a plus.

Touchpad

The multitouch capable ClickPad (~12.6 x 8.3 cm, ~5 x 3.3 in) doesn't stand out from the masses either. It offers a short stroke and clear pressure point, allowing fingers to slide across the smooth surface easily.

Display - Bright WQXGA panel with DCI-P3 coverage

The 16-inch IPS display (2560x1600 pixels) in the work-friendly 16:10 format scores with stable viewing angles, a lack of PWM flickering, short response times, a matte surface, and a high brightness (>500 cd/m²). The latter enables you to read the display contents outdoors as long as the sunlight isn't too bright.

Acer uses a 240-Hz panel together with support for G-Sync. With this, the refresh rates of the display and GPU are adjusted dynamically to allow for moving images that are as smooth as possible, particularly while gaming.

Note that apparently the LCD overdrive cannot be deactivated. The response times remain at the same level, regardless of the position of the on/off switch inside the PredatorSense software (control center of the laptop).

* ... smaller is better

The panel is able to cover the sRGB and DCI-P3 color spaces completely or almost completely, but the same isn't the case with the AdobeRGB color space. With this, the Predator display offers a better color space coverage than the panels from most competitors. Generally, the display already scores with a good color reproduction in the state of delivery, with a deviation of 1.7 (target: DeltaE < 3). An additional calibration lowers the value even further to 0.52, which is very good.

You can download and use our color profile for free. The link can be found in the info box for the display.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
8.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 4.7 ms rise
↘ 4.1 ms fall
The screen shows fast response rates in our tests and should be suited for gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 21 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (20.9 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
5 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 2.5 ms rise
↘ 2.5 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 14 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (32.7 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8627 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Performance - A lot of power, thanks to Raptor Lake and Ada Lovelace

The target user group of the 16-inch laptop from Acer includes gamers and creators. The laptop is run by Raptor Lake and Ada Lovelace. At the time of this test, the model of our test unit isn't available (in Germany) yet, but you can get a sibling model with 16 instead of 32 GB of RAM for almost 1,900 Euros (~$2,044). The most affordable model of the series costs about 1,500 Euros (~$1,614).

Test Conditions

The manufacturer offers six different system modes - four in mains and two in battery operation (see table). We used the "Performance" mode for our benchmarks and "Eco" for the battery tests. To use "Turbo" or "Performance," you need a battery level of at least 40%. You can switch between modes via key press (above the keyboard) or the PredatorSense software (control center of the laptop), with an LED indicating the mode that is currently active.

Processor

The 20 CPU cores (8P + 12E = 28 threads) of the Core i7-14700HX (Raptor Lake) reach maximum clock speeds of 5.5 GHz (P) and 3.9 GHz (E) respectively. Constant multi-thread load (CB15 Loop) is handled with a constant clock speed, independently of the selected power profile. However, the differences turn out rather low, with only the "Silent" profile reducing the performance significantly.

The benchmark results are slightly disappointing: Despite the four additional CPU cores and higher clock speeds, the multi-thread performance is at the same level as that of the Core i7-14650HX. Only in the single-thread performance is the 14700HX able to make use of its nominally additional power.
