This Acer laptop might be the most affordable way to own an Nvidia 40-series GPU

With a powerful Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 GPU and a stunning OLED screen, the Acer Swift X 14 is an ideal laptop for creative professionals. This laptop features a gorgeous-looking 14-inch OLED display with a maximum resolution of 2880 x 1800 pixels and a refresh rate of 120Hz. The screen quality is largely due to the image enhancement software. It supports DisplayHDR True Black 500 for high contrast. Moreover, the Swift X 14 covers the entire DCI-P3 color gamut for lifelike colors.

I want to give a shout-out to the various ports on its side. Despite its light weight, the Swift X 14 is equipped with a lot of ports: two Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB 3.2 inputs, an HDMI port, and an SD card slot. So if you need to connect this laptop to a monitor or want to use it as a portable photo editing machine, you have a variety of options. Also, I wish the speakers were located at a different position than the bottom. Bottom speakers can sound muffled, even if they rely on sound reflecting off the surface the laptop is sitting on. Note that it also lacks a subwoofer, so the bass levels won’t cause any dance parties. At least, the audio sounded clear overall and the volume was loud enough in most situations.
I recommend carrying a charger with you, as this is a power-hungry computer. In my testing, the laptop lasted about 7.5 hours on a single A

Charge lasts about 7.5 hours, which is just enough to get you through a workday, but not much else.
ZDNET’s Buying RecommendationAs a writer, I personally won’t be using the Swift X 14 very often. But I still recommend it to creative professionals who want a MacBook-style laptop but want to retain a Windows environment. It’s a good choice due to its high performance (as shown in the benchmarks), OLED screen, and software suite. In my opinion, you can’t go wrong with the Swift X 14.

Acer Chromebook R13 review: A Chromebook 2-in-1 with killer battery life

The Acer Chromebook R13 is a little more expensive than other Chromebooks, but that’s because it’s a 2-in-1 hybrid with the long-lasting Acer Chromebook R13 laptop battery. It’s a convertible laptop with a touchscreen and a 360-degree hinge that can be used as a tablet. It also has commendably long-lasting Acer laptop battery life, a stylish aluminum lid, and plenty of ports for connecting peripherals.


Depending on your needs, you may be able to find more affordable alternatives. However, the Acer Chromebook is something of a diamond in the rough when it comes to 2-in-1 Chromebooks with long  Chromebooks battery l ife. If you want to spend more, Samsung’s Chromebook Pro has a higher-resolution hybrid touchscreen with an included stylus, and runs Google Play Android apps. 


Affordable 2-in-1 Chromebook that lasts all dayAboutAcer Chromebook Laptop BatteryLifeOne big reason to buy the Acer Chromebook R13: battery life.
In our battery tests, the 13-inch Chromebook averaged 13 hours of battery life, which is well above the average battery life we’ve seen on Chromebooks. A “good” 13-inch Chromebook battery life for a Chromebook is about 8 to 10 hours, so Acer’s 13-hour average is pretty good if you need something that lasts that long. For most people, 8 to 10 hours will provide a full day’s worth of power. If you need something more powerful than that, the Acer Chromebook R13 is the only Chromebook we’ve tested that’s more durable than the others.
Multifunctional designThe Acer Chromebook 13 has a sleek and stylish aluminum lid that gives it an elegant feel. It’s not as thin and light as the HP Chromebook 13, but it definitely doesn’t look like a budget laptop. On the left side of the laptop, you’ll find plenty of ports to suit your connectivity needs, while a headphone jack, power button, and volume rocker are on the right side.
Full-size USB 3.0 portUSB Type-C (Thunderbolt 3 not supported)HDMI portMicroSD card slotIts keyboard feels spacious and the touchpad is responsive, but the keys aren’t backlit. I prefer the backlit key option, especially since I’m a writer who sometimes has to type in dimly lit environments, but it’s understandable that it won’t be a big deal for others.


The speakers are located on the left and right edges of the front of the computer and are very weak. Their maximum volume can fill a quiet room, so I recommend bringing a pair of headphones.
Physical screenThe Acer Chromebook R13’s screen is very clear, with impressively wide viewing angles; you can clearly see what’s on the screen no matter what angle your title is from.


13.3 inch IPSmulti-touch screen1,920×1,080 pixel resolutionThe 360-degree hinge allows you to flip the screen so you can use it as a tablet, even though it’s quite thick and heavy. I don’t really use it as a tablet because it’s too heavy and uncomfortable to hold. However, I often fold it up like a tent while watching videos. The hinge is strong enough to keep the tablet in place without wobbling.
The only area where the Acer Chromebook 13 falls short is in performance. It’s by no means a sluggish lag monster, but compared to other high-end Chromebooks (more on that later), it lags behind other devices in benchmarks.
2.1GHz quad-core MediaTek M8173C CPU4GB memory32GB or 64GB eMMC flash memoryPowerVR GX6250 GPU Despite the lower benchmarks, I had no complaints about the Acer’s performance during use. When multitasking, I could have about 10 tabs open and multiple video streams playing, and there was no lag when switching between tabs. Increasing the number of tabs to 20 will cause your computer to slow down, but this is to be expected. If you need a laptop to occasionally surf the web, play music and movies, read email, or check Facebook, a cheaper Chromebook will do the trick.


Another high-end ChromebookHigh-end Chromebook? Is this a contradiction? No.
There’s been a wave of Chromebooks recently launched, like the Acer Chromebook 13 , that feature sleek designs, crisp screens, and fast processors. Well, it’s sleek, sharp, and fast compared to previous Chromebook models. While the specs of Windows 10 laptops may disappoint, they perform very well on Chrome OS. I don’t expect Chromebooks to have a touchscreen on the keyboard like the MacBook Pro does, but the improvement in quality is a notable and welcome advancement.
The problem is that they’re more expensive than the $200 Chromebooks we usually see. Most noteworthy is the comparison able 2-in-1 Asus Chromebook Flip C3202, Samsung Chromebook Pro and the HP Chromebook 13. For around $100 more, they have slimmer and studier designs than the Acer and faster performance, but their batteries don’t last as long.Better than your basic ChromebookThe Acer Chromebook R13 is a good option for those who want something more than a basic Chromebook. Its versatile design and long-lasting  Acer Chromebook R13 battery make it a good deal for the price, but if you don’t need everything it has to offer, there are plenty of alternatives.


If you like the Acer Chromebook R13 and wish it was cheaper, you can opt for the $300 (converts to about £240 or AU$395) Acer Chromebook 11, a smaller, older model with similar design, or the deceivingly lux $280 (converts to (about £225 or AU$370) Acer Chromebook 14, an affordable Chromebook with a high-end design.

Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 Review: Solid Performance, Short Battery Life

A reasonably priced, well-specced entry into a gaming laptop . The Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 has good build quality, plenty of ports, a great screen, and solid gaming performance, but it can’t beat mediocre  Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 battery life . Why Trusted Tom’s Hardware Our expert reviewers spend countless hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the ones that are right for you. Learn more about how we test.

The Acer Predator Helio Neo 16 is a new contender in this segment, offering an Intel Core i7-13700HX processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 16-inch QHD (2560 x 1440) display. This isn’t a budget system, but with a starting price of $1,199 and $1,549 as tested, it’s not unreasonable.


Acer has packed this hardware into a chassis that, while designed for 1440p gaming, won’t look out of place in an office environment thanks to its restrained design. Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 designThe Predator Helios Neo 16 is an all-new model from Acer with the clear goal of providing gamers with a modest price point. That said, I found the overall design to be very conservative, without much that stands out. The only Flash elements in the design are the WASD, arrows, and Predator Sense keys, which feature translucent black keycaps and clear black keycaps.

On the right side of the case, you’ll find two USB 3.2 Gen 2 (Type A) ports and a Kensington lock. Switching to the left side, Acer includes a USB 3.1 Gen 2 (Type-A) port, an Ethernet jack , a MicroSD card reader slot, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The rear panel has an HDMI 2.1 port, two Thunderbolt 4 (Type-C) ports, and a proprietary jack for a 330-watt power adapter.

Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 Turning to our usual gaming benchmark suite, I pitted the Predator Helios Neo 16 against the Lenovo Legion Pro 5i (i7-13700HX, RTX 4060, 1600p), the Gigabyte Aorus 15X (i9-13900HX, RTX 4070, 1440p )) and Razer Blade 14 (Ryzen 9 7940HS, RTX 4070, 1600p). Note that RTX 4070-based systems will have an advantage in gaming benchmarks, and the RTX 4060 in the Legion Pro 5i has a slightly higher boost clock than the one in the Predator Helio Neo 16.

Next, I lined up Grand Theft Auto V (very high settings), with the Predator Helios Neo 16 tied for third with the Blade 14 at 1080p, 90fps. However, it was displayed at 1600p resolution at 49 fps compared to the Blade’s 52 fpsAcer Predator Helios Neo 16 Upgradeability

Access to the Predator Helios Neo 16’s internals is achieved by removing the 11 Philips head screws. The entire bottom panel can then be easily removed with some appropriate fingernails. Removing the bottom panel reveals the battery, two SO-DIMM slots (each occupying an 8GB DDR5-4800 module in our review unit), and two M.2 slots. One of the M.2 slots can accommodate a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, and the other is available for future expansion. There’s also a slot for an M.2 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo card.Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 battery life


As I saw in the gaming benchmarks, the Predator Helio Neo 16 ranks near the bottom for overall performance. I expected the meager gaming results to translate into above-average battery life. However, I was wrong. The Predator Helios Neo 16 has less than three hours of battery life (2:59), and its next closest competitor is the Legion Pro 5i (4:54), followed by the Aorus 15X (5:20). With a runtime of 8 minutes and 34 seconds, the Blade 14 outlasted all laptops assembled. The Predator Helios Neo 16 uses a relatively powerful 90 WHr Predator Helios Neo 16 battery, which makes the results even more puzzling.


Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 popularityThe Predator Helios Neo 16 is powered by a Core i7-13700HX processor (55W) and a GeForce RTX 4060 GPU (140W). Acer uses dual fifth-generation AeroBlade 3D fans in the system and Liquid Metal thermal grease in the CPU. Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 Software and WarrantyThe Predator Helios Neo 16 comes loaded with some bloatware from the factory, but many customers rarely use it. You get Acer Purified Voice Control,

Acer Product Registration, Acer Care Center (system vital signs, recovery management, etc.), Acer Planet 9 (social gaming platform), DTS Surround
Unbound, DTS:X Ultra, Express VPN (30-day free trial), Dropbox (100GB free when you sign up as an Acer customer), Killer Intelligence Center and Realtek Audio Console.
In addition to all these pre-installed apps, there’s also the usual Windows 11 bloatware like shortcuts to Spotify, TikTok, ESPN, and Instagram.


However, the app I use the most is Acer PredatorSense. The utility has its own dedicated key on the keyboard for easy access, and allows you to set power profiles, adjust system fan speeds, and control the keyboard’s RGB lighting (and more). It also allows you to monitor important system information such as fan speed, CPU/GPU temperature, Wi-Fi statistics, and RAM speed/utilization.


The Predator Helios Neo 16 comes with a one-year warranty.Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 specsThe base Predator Helios Neo 16 comes with a Core i7-13500HX processor, GeForce RTX 4050, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, and a 16-inch FHD+ display for $1,199. The mid-range configuration replaces the RTX 4050 with an RTX 4060, adding $100 to the price.


Our review unit featured a Core i7-13700HX processor, GeForce RTX 4060, 16GB of RAM, 1GB SSD, and a 16-inch QHD+ display, and cost $1,549 exclusively from Best Buy.
bottom lineThe Acer Predator Helios Neo 16’s lower gaming performance is easily explained by the two rivals’ high-performance GeForce RTX 4070 GPUs. Additionally, the Lenovo Legion Pro 5i comes with the same Core i7-13700HX CPU and RTX 4060 GPU, almost with slightly higher boost clocks. So this is not a surprising result.
However, when you add in low storage performance and a disappointingAcer laptop battery (which only lasted less than three hours), it becomes harder to recommend this laptop.


The Predator Helios Neo 16 has some good points, like a bright display and an attractive chassis. But it’s hard to ignore its performance shortcomings, especially laptop battery life. The final knock on the laptop is its price. At $1,549, the Legion Pro 5i is a better option and is $100 cheaper.

Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 Review: Solid Performance, Short Battery Life

When looking for the best gaming laptops on the market, I’m always interested in affordable options.While models with price tags of $2,000 (or more!) often pack a ton of power, gamers on a smaller budget are now flooded with lower-priced, great value options.


With that in mind, the Acer Predator Helio Neo 16 is a new contender in this segment, offering an Intel Core i7-13700HX processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 16-inch QHD (2560 x 1440) display This isn’t a budget system, but with a starting price of $1,199 and $1,549 as tested, it’s not unreasonable.

Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 designThe Predator Helios Neo 16 is an all-new model from Acer with the clear goal of providing gamers with a modest price point. That said, I found the overall design to be very conservative, without much that stands out. The only Flash elements in the design are the WASD, arrows, and Predator Sense keys, which feature translucent black keycaps and clear black keycaps.
The black plastic chassis also creates a slight flickering effect when light hits it at certain angles. It’s subtle enough to add visual interest to the laptop without being in your face.


There are some thick bezels around the 16-inch display. The top bezel is roughly twice as wide as the sides, while the bottom bezel is quite large. Acer tried to break up the massive visuals with a chrome Predator logo, but with little success .
On the right side of the case, you’ll find two USB 3.2 Gen 2 (Type A) ports and a Kensington lock. Switching to the left side, Acer includes a USB 3.1 Gen 2 (Type-A) port, an Ethernet jack, a MicroSD card reader slot, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The rear panel has an HDMI 2.1 port, two Thunderbolt 4 (Type-C) ports, and a proprietary jack for a 330-watt power adapter.


The Predator Helios Neo 16 measures 14.18 x 11.02 x 1.05 inches and weighs 5.73 pounds. The Lenovo Legion Pro 5i and Gigabyte Aorus 15X are similar in size and weight, while the Razer Blade 14 has a smaller, naturally sleeker display, measuring 12.23 x 8.97 x 0.70 inches and weighing 4.05 pounds.


Gaming on the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16The Predator Helios Neo 16 comes with an Intel Core i7-13700HX CPU, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 GPU, and 16GB DDR5-4800 memory (2 x 8GB). Core i7-13700HX has 8 performance cores and 8 efficiency cores, with a maximum Turbo Boost frequency of 5 GHz.
To begin gaming testing with the Predator Helios Neo 16, I installed Cyberpunk 2077. On high settings with ray tracing enabled, DLSS balancing, and DLSS frame generation enabled at 1600p, I averaged 68 fps. Drop down to 1200p and that number rises to 90 fps.


Turning to our usual suite of gaming benchmarks, I compared the Predator Helios Neo 16 against the Lenovo Legion Pro 5i (i7-13700HX, RTX 4060, 1600p), the Gigabyte Aorus 15X (i9-13900HX, RTX 4070, 1440p), and the Razer Blade 14 (Ryzen 9 7940HS, RTX 4070, 1600p). Note that RTX 4070-based systems will have an advantage in gaming benchmarks, and the RTX 4060 in the Legion Pro 5i has a higher slightly boost clock than the one in the Predator Helio Neo 16.

Next, I lined up Grand Theft Auto V (very high settings), with the Predator Helios Neo 16 tying for third place with the Blade 14 at 1080p at 90fps. However, its performance at 1600p put it in last place at 49 fps, compared to the Blade 14’s 52 fps. The Legion Pro 5i took gold with 97 fps at 1080p and 53 fps at 1440p.

To refine our benchmark, we ran MetroExodus benchmark (RTX settings) run at 1600p resolution over 15 loops. The benchmark ran at an average of 53.08 fps (consistently between 52.76 and 53.19 fps). During operation, the Core i7-13700HX averaged 2.19GHz for the performance cores and 1.82GHz for the efficiency cores, with a temperature of 65.7 degrees Celsius (150.3 degrees Fahrenheit). The GeForce RTX 4060 GPU ran at an average frequency of 2.29 GHz and measured a temperature of 73.2 C (163.8 F).


Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 productivity performanceThe Predator Helio Neo 16 comes with an Intel Core i7-13700HX CPU, 16GB DDR5-4800 RAM (2 x 8GB), and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD.


Our Predator Helios Neo 16 review unit scored single-core and multi-core performance scores of 1,880 and 14,625 in Geekbench 5 respectively. Unsurprisingly, these numbers are close very to the Legion Pro 5i, which uses the same processor. Aorus 15X, with its stronger Core i9-13900HX, won the top honor with a single-core score of 2,007 points and a multi-core score of 18,129 points.

Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 In our 25GB file transfer test, the Predator Helios Neo 16 lagged far behind the competition. The laptop clocked in at 1,047.37 MBps, while the third-place Blade 14 clocked in at 1,230.04 MBps. However, the Legion Pro 5i took first place with 1,792.63 MBps.


Finally, in the Handbrake transcoding test, the Predator Helios Neo 16 tied for second with a time of 3:55, compared to the first-place Legion Pro 5i’s time of 3:39. Display on Acer Predator Helios Neo 16The PredatDisplay on the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 or Helios Neo 16 features a 16-inch IPS panel with a QHD+ (2560 x 1600) resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate. The panel is powered by an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 GPU.
16-inch is becoming a popular size for gaming laptops. 15.6 inches used to be the standard size, but we’re seeing more and more laptops with 16-inch panels, especially with QHD+ resolution. As far as the display is concerned , the IPS panel in the Predator Helios Neo 16 is powerful. Anti-glare coatings reduce reflections in almost every possible situation except direct sunlight.
