Andy built his first gaming PC at the tender age of 12, when IDE cables were a thing and high resolution wasn't. After spending over 15 years in the production industry overseeing a variety of live and recorded projects, he started writing his own PC hardware blog in the hope that people might send him things.
Acer Predator Helios Neo 16| RTX 4070 | Core i9 14900HX | 16-inch | 1600p | 240 Hz | 16 GB DDR5 | 1 TB SSD |This Acer might not be the slimmest of models, but it's got some specs that should make you look twice. Alongside a proper 140 W RTX 4070 sits one of Intel's fastest mobile CPUs, in tandem with a blazing fast 240 Hz IPS display. It's a little chonky, and the branding is less than subtle, but there's a lot of grunt here inside that substantial chassis.
Still, while it's all very well having a super-speedy screen, if your components can't feed it pixels fast enough then it's a bit of a waste. Thankfully, here you get an Intel Core i9 14900HX in tandem with a 140 W TGP RTX 4070. That's one of Intel's latest and greatest mobile CPUs stacked with an Nvidia GPU that really can deliver the goods.
It's not all roses, of course. I'd like to see 32 GB of RAM in more gaming laptops these days, but 16 GB should still get you by as long as you don't have too many background apps open. 1 TB of storage is fairly standard, but you can always shoveIt's also a bit chonky. While I've definitely seen bigger gaming laptops, the Helios 16 isn't perhaps as slimline as I'd like.
