And it’s built like a Nitro, with an aluminium lid and a plastic body. I am unsure I could tell the two apart if you plonked them in front of me side-by-side. In fact, it looks a lot like the Nitro 16. The Nitro-style chiclet keyboard is excellentĪlthough it’s called a Predator, the Neo resembles a Nitro.The plastic body is solid, but the lid is a bit wobbly.Looks much like the supposedly lesser Nitro models.If you don’t understand what Acer is trying to do here, welcome to the club. Over in the USA, there’s more flexibility for the Predator Helios Neo 16 with a base $1199.99 model with an i5-13500HX CPU and RTX 4050 GPU.
It will set you back £1699/$1549, which confusingly is the same price as the top-spec Nitro 16 (reviewed here in RTX 4050 guise) with an AMD Ryzen 7 CPU and RTX 4070 GPU.
That plug goes by the name of the Predator Helios Neo 16, which is either an expensive entry-level machine or a cheap mid-range machine depending on how you look at it.Ĭurrently, only one Neo 16 machine is on sale in the UK, built around an Intel Core i7-13700HX processor and a Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU. In between sat the Predator Helios range.īut apparently, a yawning chasm between the Nitro and Predator Helios line-up had to be plugged. On one end of the scale, you had the entry-level Nitro machines and on the other, the state-of-the-art Triton models. Previously Acer’s gaming laptop was easy to understand.
