Thumbs up for this gaming laptop

Runs all the games I play without problems. Had a rog scar 18 with rtx 4090 before but had to return it because the screen would intermittently go black. This laptop seems to run games about as fast as the scar even though it is the rtx 4080. For me, the screen size of 16 is fine. More portable than the 18 but smaller display was an acceptable trade off. Bottom line, I can recommend this gaming laptop and have no regrets buying it.

Holding out

There's absolutely nothing wrong with this computer. Except one thing. And its a personal preference. The screen size. It's just too small for me. I currently have the Helios 700, which is 17.3 inches. I didn't realize that it would be such a big difference, but for me it was. So I'm holding out on upgrading until I can get my hands on the model with the 18 inch screen instead. Same specs of course! Not sure when it will be back, but I'll keep checking every day until then.

Acer Predator Helios 16

Overall this laptop is very nice. My copy came with two bad pixels near the center of the screen which is a little disappointing, but at this 2560x1600 resolution at least it's not extremely noticeable. Performance-wise it is very good.
