Acer Predator Helios 16s Ai Review: Great performance, annoying accidents

The keyboard features a four -area back lighting, which is controlled by the wide Predatorsense system of Acer, which controls everything from battery charging details to whether you want to customize the logo shown as a laptop. It is available via a dedicated key over the slim digital keyboard. The other detailed key on the device is the position key, located above the left of the keyboard. This turns between four different performance/fan conditions when connected; Two of these situations are available when the battery power is turned on.

Thanks to the digital keyboard, the keyboard and the touch plate are moved away to the left. This may be a condition in which you can adapt to the design over time, but I found it difficult to work comfortably when pushing this to one side, especially when using the stock keys, which leak into the keyboard areas and keyboard.

Ports are exceptional and can be found on both sides and background of the device. These include the USB-C (one Support Thunderbolt 4Three USB-A ports, a full-size HDMI ports, full-size ETHERNET, and a microSD card slot. You will need to use the separate power socket and the A/C 230W to operate the device. (The transformer itself is heavy, but it is not particularly large, weighing 1.1 lbs).

The screen is one of the gentle brightness that I saw years ago, and although the amplifiers are not particularly accurate, it is at least loud at least. Unfortunately, they should be, because when the fan begins, which is often very noisy.

Put the entire package, and you have a performance to spare anything you can throw in this system. Helios has recorded in almost all areas on my standards battery, including (to a large extent) the best GPU that I have seen so far, and it is easily hit. MacBook Pro M4 Pro 50 percent in the Geekbench 6 GPU test with almost double the performance of graphics on the systems equipped with the last generation of GPUS GeForce Lapus.
