Acer Predator Helios 16 PH16-71

A family of uncompromising 17-inch laptops from 2023 featuring extremely powerful hardware, advanced gaming capabilities, a keyboard adapted for gaming with per-key backlighting, and a beautiful display. Part of the purely gaming Predator Helios series, they belong to the high-price category, designed for enthusiasts, esports players, and demanding users seeking a high-performance gaming station that can rival desktop gaming systems.

Depending on the configuration, the hardware of Predator Helios 16 laptops is based on 13th generation Core i7/Core i9 chips, complemented by several modules of high-speed DDR5 RAM (ranging from 16 to 32 GB, with a frequency of 4800 MHz) and a reactive SSD with PCI-E 4.0 interface support. The high graphical performance of these laptops is ensured by graphics cards from the NVIDIA Ampere family, most often featuring mid to high-level accelerators RTX 3070/3080, capable of providing high frame rates in most modern games.

Less commonly, you may find modifications based on the RTX 4060. Cooling is handled by the proprietary cooling system with AeroBlade fans and liquid metal thermal paste. Thanks to these factors, Predator Helios laptops allow you to run the most demanding games of recent years on high graphical settings without any issues. They ensure consistently high frame rates, allowing users to enjoy a smooth and clear gaming experience without lag or stuttering.

Furthermore, the power of Predator Helios can be a significant advantage when working with professional software for photo and video editing, neural network tasks, coding, etc. All laptop modifications feature a top-tier 16-inch IPS screen, with a resolution of 2560x1600 pixels, an increased refresh rate of 165/240 Hz, fast response time (3 ms), and natural color reproduction (100% sRGB/DCI P3).

As befits a top gaming machine of 2023, the Predator Helios 16 PH16-71 is equipped with a high-class gaming keyboard, a specialized Killer E2600 network controller, modern connectivity ports (USB 4 and HDMI 2.1), and its internal layout allows for self-upgrading of the storage and RAM. The keyboard with zonal backlighting, gaming network controller Killer E2600, stereo speakers with DTS X Ultra, and contemporary connectivity ports—including USB 4 and HDMI 2.1—deserve special mention. The chassis is made of aluminum with durable plastic inclusions, and the device weighs up to 2.9 kg.
