The Predator Helios Neo 16 will be available starting this June in Germany, with a starting price of €1,599. This laptop is equipped with the latest i5-13500HX and i7-13700HX processors, which can be coupled with up to 32GB of dual-channel DDR5-4800 RAM and up to 2 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD in RAID 0. The GPU side of the Predator Helios Neo 16 can be equipped with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 6 GB, RTX 4060 8 GB, or RTX 4070 8 GB and 140 W TGP, providing users with excellent graphics capabilities.

To ensure that the notebook stays cool even under heavy load, Acer has integrated its advanced cooling system featuring an all-metal 5th gen AeroBlade fan technology plus liquid metal thermal paste. This will help to keep the system running smoothly and prevent overheating. Regarding personalization, Acer has taken things to the next level for the Neo 16 laptops. The display lid is laser-engraved with unique codes, allowing users to easily identify their device and make it truly their own.

The Predator Helios Neo 16 also comes with two quality 16-inch display options. A 2,560 x 1,600 IPS panel with 165 Hz and 500 nit brightness and a 1,920 x 1,200 panel with 165 Hz and 400 nit brightness. Both displays feature a 100% sRGB color gamut, Nvidia Advanced Optimus with G-SYNC, and a 3 ms response time.

Port selection is robust, with 2x Thunderbolt 4 connectors, 3x USB-A 3.2 Gen 2, HDMI 2.1 video out, plus audio and GbE jacks along with a microSD card reader. Wireless connectivity is delivered through a Killer Wi-Fi 6 + BT 5.2 card, and Acer has also packed DTS X:Ultra audio processing and a 90 Wh battery. In terms of dimensions, the chassis can have a profile up to 1.11 inches (28.25 mm) thick, and the system may weigh up to 5.73 lbs (2.6 kg). This makes the Predator Helios Neo 16 a relatively portable gaming laptop that can be easily transported.
