Acer’s recently announced Predator Helios Neo 16 is now available in Malaysia – a mere two weeks after its international launch. The new addition to the Predator Helios lineup brings all the signature Helios performance and design ethos at an even more affordable price point. There will be two variants available in Malaysia. Both come with different specifications and cater for different gamers.
The first variant, the PHN16-71-54A6 comes with an Intel Core i5-13500HX and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX4050 with 6GB DDR6 VRAM and is complemented by 8GB of RAM and 512GB of PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD storage. The Predator Neo 16 gets even more power with the PHN16-71-77HU variant which brings the Intel Core i7-13700HX and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX4060 with 8GB GDDR6 VRAM. This is complemented by 16GB of RAM and 1TB of PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD storage. Both versions support up to 32GB of RAM.
On the display end, both come with 16-inch displays with 100% coverage for the sRGB gamut, a 16:10 aspect ratio and a 165Hz refresh rate. The main difference between the two is the type of panel used. The i7 version comes with a WQXGA (2560 x 1600) panel with Acer’s ultra-slim design while the i5 version comes with a WUXGA (1920×1200) panel with the same design.
It goes without saying that both versions of the Predator Helios Neo 16 come with Intel’s Killer Wi-Fi 6 AX 1650i for the best WiFi connectivity for gaming. They also come with Killer Ethernet E2600. When it comes to ports, it comes with a complete array of HDMI, USB-C with Thunderbolt 4, USB 3.2 Gen 2, 1 USB 3.2 Gen 1 and a combo audio jack.
