Acer Helios 16 AI 16" Reviews

Super powered laptop

By Moises
Rated 5 out of 5

Thanks to B&H I was able to pick up my Acer Predator Helios RTX 5090 laptop at an amazing price! As expected the performance is spectacular, I'm able to play demanding titles like Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K with path tracing made possible using Nvidia's DLSS upscalers. I love that it comes with tons of SSD storage and lots of RAM. I bought this laptop because I wanted some future proofing and I think I'll be able to get a good 10 years out of it. The best part of course is that all this power is portable. I'm really looking forward to playing high end PC games in any room of my house or at the local coffee shop.

Fast shipping, good price and customer service

Bought at good price and saved tax using payboo credit card, fast shipping received within a couple days and did not ship in product packaging. Arrived in brand new condition with no issues. I was looking at product page a week after purchasing and noticed flash sale so contact support with link to page and received price match $250 back and free copy of RE requiem. Very happy with how fast they price matched and that I was able to get the free game since I purchased before promotion period. The laptop is a beast and I’ve seen gpu hit 175watt and even more so don’t know about if it’s a 165watt version or not. Has 2 thunderbolt 5 ports and nice display I would recommend. And very happy with B&H customer service and being able to get this for $2749

The comparison chart states it has 2 USB C Gen 2x2

The comparison chart states it has 2 USB C Gen 2x2 ports. Is this correct? The Crucial X10 requires USB Gen 2x2 for full 20
