Pros & Cons
Pros
The acer predator helios neo 16 gaming laptop is a well-rounded computer capable of handling more than just gaming tasks. It has an upgradeable 8gb ram slot and can be upgraded to 16gb for <$100. It also has a built-in hard drive that can store up ... Read More
With the refresh rate at 165hz, pictures run smooth and crisp.
Webcam and built-in mic are more than enough for zoom calls and proctored exams. Fast wi-fi connection is a dream for both online gaming and streaming lectures.

Cons
Also, the predator button is the stupidest design choice i've ever seen. The program itself manages to take 20% of cpu load and make the laptop hotter by having the program running by itself. It randomly freezes also, requiring force shutdown.

Highlights
Quality
Ive been using this computer as my daily driver for nearly a year and its handled every game ive thrown at it including baldurs... Read More
Screen quality is very good feels more bright with bold colors than others in the space and had no backlight bleed
The charging brick is massive and the batter life is poor but that is on me for not checking
Edit i completely and utterly look dumb because i or some in the chain disabled the mouse with the fn key
Price
This laptop gives you a lot of computing power for the money and has the cooling capabilities to back it up
If you can get this sub1000 its an absolute steal
Got a good deal even paid less for this one than i did for the one i had before
Now its only an 8gb gpu which may be an issue for some but fine for my purposes and honestly the price point
Competitiveness
It is the best brand out of all laptops
Better than my previous asus laptops software
Ive heard some people complain about fan noise but compared to other ones ive owned the fans are very quiet
Note this is the 2023 version with the blue intakes on the back and not the 2024 version with the black square ones
