Acer is renaming its Helios computer series for 2023. Helios 16 series has taken the position of Helios 300 series. There's a lot to like about this laptop, but if you're looking for pure performance, you should absolutely go elsewhere. Its excellent quality Mini LED screen and relatively affordable cost are two notable features.

 


There is only a tiny bezel behind the screen on the Helios laptop, which keeps it very close to its 16-inch frame. This makes it a better combination of screen space and chassis size than most 17-inch laptops.

 

Alright, let's talk about the screen. It's among the best features of the Helios 16. This 1000 zone micro LED panel uses tiny LEDs clustered beneath the screen to supply the zones, as opposed to more conventional diodes. The additional zones are meant to create brighter peaks without overpowering a picture's darkest portions. While Mini LEDs aren't exactly microLEDs, I still prefer them to conventional LED screens.

The Helios 16 has a gorgeous screen. Unlike other less expensive laptops, it doesn't struggle to produce a vivid image because the colors are rich and brilliant. Elevate the brightness to the maximum level and witness an exceptionally striking image in games and on the desktop.

The Helios 16, Predator laptop has better performance because of its more powerful CPU. On the other hand, individuals looking for a high-performance laptop with an RTX 4080 could find the Predator unsuitable.

 

As far as gaming laptops go, and especially a high-performance one such as this, the Helios 16 is about as loud as you'd expect. It's audible while gaming, and probably a bit too loud to reasonably run full pelt out in public without some sideways glances in your direction, but it's not a cacophony like some. That's true of the eco, balance, and performance modes you will likely be running this laptop in day-to-day







Conclusion

The good cooling is a benefit of that. Thanks to the extra breathing room this large chassis provides, the keyboard area stayed cooler and more comfortable to use than any other system in recent memory. It does get rather noisy, but many people will probably be happy to accept that trade-off in exchange for the high frame rates.

 

 

There are several laptops with comparable prices and specs available on the market, but I believe this model stands out because of its screen. It offers a faster refresh rate of 240Hz and all the advantages of Mini LED technology, making it superior to most of the competitors.
