Reviews for the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 PHN16-71, i5-13500HX RTX 4060

Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 (PHN16-71) review – is that… a Nitro?
Source: Laptop Media
As it happens, Acer sells two devices that share almost the same name. While the Helios Neo 16 might sound like something new, or a laptop out of The Matrix, it is nothing more than a rebranded Acer Nitro 16. This is not bad, of course, as you get two Thunderbolt 4 ports and a MicroSD card slot. In addition, the CPU is treated to a liquid metal thermal compound. To be honest, though, it made very little, if any difference. Acer has to get on top of the low P-core clocks issue. We are pretty confident that this can be done over-the-air, via an update to the firmware, or the BIOS. Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 (PHN16-71)’s IPS panel has a WQXGA resolution, comfortable viewing angles, a very high maximum brightness, and a good contrast ratio. Its backlight doesn’t use PWM for brightness adjustment, which makes the laptop great for long gaming sessions.

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.

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