Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 PHN16-71

The Helios Neo 16 PHN16-71 lineup by Acer has expanded the Predator gaming series to include 16-inch laptops for mid-range and advanced price segments. Models in this family are capable of satisfying very demanding users, ensuring consistently high FPS even on ultra settings in many current AAA titles. Additionally, these laptops can be used for other resource-intensive tasks, including video editing and working with professional software. All Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 PHN16-71 laptops are equipped with a 16-inch IPS screen with a refresh rate of 165 Hz and support for NVIDIA G-Sync adaptive sync technology.

In all configurations, users can expect 100% color gamut coverage of the sRGB space, and in top configurations — peak brightness increased to 500 nits and a resolution of 2560x1600 pixels. Performance here is driven by 13th generation Intel Raptor Lake processors, starting from a 14-core Core i5 and going up to a 24-core Core i9. System speed is enhanced by DDR5 RAM with a capacity from 16 to 32 GB, while graphics processing is handled by the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 series discrete card, which, in addition to hardware ray tracing, supports VR and machine learning algorithms to enhance gaming performance. Other notable hardware in the lineup includes M.2 SSDs (from 512 GB), a quality cooling system, and the presence of a Killer Ethernet E2600 controller with a gigabit LAN port, as well as a Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) wireless communication module. Additional pleasant bonuses of the laptops include a 4-zone RGB keyboard backlight, the presence of a Thunderbolt v4 port, and a battery with USB C Power Delivery, providing up to 8 hours of autonomous operation.
