If you have been looking for a powerhouse of a gaming laptop to boost productivity and enjoy some games while you’re away, Very might have a deal for you.
That’s because the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 has seen its price knocked down to £1,299 – down from £1,699 and considering the hardware you get with the laptop, this might be perfect for gaming and productivity on the go.
You’ll get a 16-inch Quad HD IPS display (2560×1600 resolution) with 165Hz refresh rate backed up by the latest NVIDIA GeForce graphics ensures that everything appears smooth, with no juddering during gameplay, keeping blurring and ghosting to a minimum.
Everything happens fast thanks to the combo of the 13th Gen high-performance Intel Core i7-13650HX CPU, 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD for fast loading and plenty of storage space – also perfect for some high-speed productivity like video editing or rendering.
It’s also packed with a RTX 4070 GPU allows you to experience lifelike virtual worlds with ray tracing and ultra-high FPS gaming with the lowest latency, thanks to the huge improvements in both performance and efficiency. The GPU features an MGP of 140W, the maximum possible for the RTX 4070, ensuring you’re getting every ounce of performance out of your laptop.
Reviewers also love the laptop. One reviewer added: “What a great laptop so powerful. Value for money comfortable to use and very easy to use and lightweight”
But like many gaming laptops, you can experience some extreme heat and sound from the fans. One reviewer added: “Expensive but it does what is supposed to do. DMZ has 150 Fps on maximum details, and AC Valhalla has 140 Fps on maximum. the only reason for 4 stars is the sound! I have an older laptop that sounds much better than this.”
But if you want a more budget alternative for some less intense gaming, Currys is selling this Acer Nitro gaming laptop for just under £700.
