acer Predator Helios Neo 16 Gaming Laptop, 16″ WUXGA 165Hz IPS, Intel 24-Core i9-14900HX, 64 GB DDR5 RAM, 2 TB SSD, GeForce RTX 4060, Backlit KB, Microsoft Office Lifetime License & Windows 11 Pro

First laptop I have loved
I typically do not like laptops, especially the keyboards. This keyboard feels like a real keyboard. I love it.If you push the cpu/gpu, the fans can get a tad loud. Battery life is not as good as my old Dell, but this has a bigger screen and more processing power. If you need 6+ hour battery life, I don’t think you are going to get that here. I’m guessing 3-6 hours depending on your settings.This is truly a great laptop. Again, love the feel of it and the keyboard. Surprisingly light for how big it is. Screen looks great. It’s very quite and cool unless your gaming (even while gaming its not that loud, can’t hear it with headsets on).

Fast and easy, with expandable hard drive
I ordered the Acer Nitro 5 in mid-November, 2021, and it arrived at my house in less than 48 hours. I plugged it in, turned it on, and it began setting itself up. In order to do this, I needed to know my Microsoft username and password, but I was able to recover them on another computer. Setup took less than 15 minutes. (Perhaps it would have taken longer if I had opted to upgrade to Windows 11.) The advantage of having to enter my Microsoft login info is that it recovered my Office 2016 from my old computer, without my having to reinstall it here.There were additional but less critical updates needed, but the computer allowed me to postpone installing these while I jumped into using the new toy. When I got to them a few days later, they installed in less than 10 minutes.I played around with the computer for a few days, installing programs and testing them to be sure there were no obvious issues.Satisfied that I wouldn’t be returning the computer, I removed the back and installed a Samsung Electronics 870 EVO 4TB 2.5 Inch SATA III Internal SSD in the open bay. Acer had provided the connecting cable and extra screws, which was nice because I dropped one of the Samsung-provided screws and never did find it.I also upgraded the memory with a Crucial RAM 32GB Kit (2x16GB) DDR4 3200MHz CL22 Laptop Memory CT2K16G4SFRA32A.Both installations were very easy, even for someone who hasn’t done a lot of this sort of thing. The hardest part was removing the back of the computer. (Other Acers have/had easy-open trapdoors.)Restoring 2 TB of music, videos, photos and documents from an external drive to the internal Samsung SSD was fast and easy.After eight months I’ve had no problems with the laptop. It’s fast and efficient. I like the way the power cord clicks into place. I’ve had other computers where the plug loosens over time, and it doesn’t seem like that will happen here.One minor complaint is the back-lit keyboard. To re-engage after it turns itself off, you have to hit a key. That means you typically have to hit two keys, one to light the keyboard, and another to reverse whatever key you just hit. With other keyboards you can reactivate the backlight by swiping across the touchpad, but that doesn’t work here. A workaround is to engage the CAPS LOCK key, This causes a small white light on the key to remain lit, even when the backlighting dims, making the key easy to find on a darkened keyboard. But you still have to turn CAPS LOCK off before typingI appreciate the multiple USB 3.2 ports, although with multiple cameras for OBS Studio, a wireless mouse and Bose NC 700 headphones, I can fill them pretty easily. Fortunately it also has the USB Type-C port which allows me to add a multiport hub.
