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.
This laptop packs a punch and can run almost anything with high fps on high to ultra settings. Sometimes computer is a bit wonky, locks up on weird stuff or won't boot a game, but i just restart it and everything is fine. Sometimes i just let the cpu ... Read More
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.
If you plug in or unplug the laptop the screen shuts off. Put on turbo mode and nothing. Changed setting manually still nothing.

Price
A very great laptop for the price!
Me and my husband game a lot so this worked perfect for us and we can take it anywhere, price was definitely worth it.
If you can get this sub-$1000, it's an absolute steal.
Spend nearly double or more and sure- it’s not a slim or premium, but it’s not priced that way either.
Shipping
Just as fast as the day i got it!
Only problem was the courier, canada post doesn’t deliver as describe on the order, heads up.
Packaging/appearance
Other than thar, great pc, great packaging, arrived in great conditions.
Competitiveness
It is the best brand out of all laptops!
I also bought an xbox controller and downloaded some games on the store, like forza horizon 5, and it runs perfectly at the sam... Read More
This is borderline unacceptable, since acer makes a big point about “cooling perfected”, liquid metal, and 5th generation all-m... Read More
Finally, i want to say that acer was never a brand on my shopping list.

The background processing when the computer is closed will make the battery die within 3 hours so if you leave it unplugged overnight it most certainly will be dead
