Model:

The Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 PHN16-71 is a new gaming laptop that was launched in April 2023. It features a 16-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of either 1920 x 1200 or 2560 x 1600 and a refresh rate of 165 Hz. It is powered by an Intel Core i5 or i7 processor of the 13th generation and a Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050, 4060 or 4070 graphics card. It also has up to 32 GB of DDR5 RAM and up to 2 TB of SSD storage. It has a battery capacity of 90 Wh and a weight of 2.8 kg.

Some of its competitors are:

•  The Acer Predator Helios 16 PH16-71, which is a similar model but with a slightly larger case, a higher resolution screen (2560 x 1600), a more powerful processor (Intel Core i7 or i9) and graphics card (Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050, 4060, 4070 or 4080), and a lower weight (2.7 kg).

•  The Asus ROG Zephyrus G16, which is another gaming laptop with a 16-inch display (2560 x 1600), an Intel Core i7 or i9 processor, a Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050, 4060 or 4070 graphics card, up to 32 GB of DDR5 RAM and up to 2 TB of SSD storage. It has a battery capacity of 90 Wh and a weight of 2.6 kg.

•  The MSI Pulse 15, which is a thinner and lighter gaming laptop with a 15.6-inch display (1920 x 1080 or 2560 x 1440), an Intel Core i7 processor, a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 Ti or RTX 3060 graphics card, up to 32 GB of DDR4 RAM and up to 1 TB of SSD storage. It has a battery capacity of 80 Wh and a weight of 1.9 kg.

NVIDIA NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU: High-end graphics card for laptops based on the Ada Lovelace architecture. Offers 8 GB GDDR6 (128 Bit) and is configurable with a TGP of 35 - 115W (+ Dynamic Boost).

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


i7-13700HX: Mobile CPU based on the Raptor Lake series that offers 16 cores (8 performance, 8 efficiency cores). Similar to the Desktop Core i7-13700K but with reduced clock speeds.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


16.00":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.


2.6 kg:

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.


Acer: In 1976, the company was founded in Taiwan under the name Multitech and was renamed Acer or Acer Group in 1987. The product range includes, for example, laptops, tablets, smartphones, desktops, monitors, TVs and computer peripherals. Since 2007, the group has merged with Gateway Inc. and Packard Bell, which also market their own laptop product lines.

Acer computers are designed for a variety of purposes, including ultrabooks for mobile use, gaming laptops for gamers, affordable options for everyday tasks, and 2-in-1 convertible laptops for versatility. Acer's product portfolio also includes tablets that offer portable computing and multimedia capabilities.


77.4%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
