Acer's laptop shows what happens when a beautiful chassis is too much of a compromise
The Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S AI laptop features a stunning OLED display and a beautiful chassis, but its performance is significantly hampered by inadequate cooling. Despite having an Nvidia RTX 5080 GPU, the system struggles in demanding games, performing closer to an RTX 5070 due to thermal throttling. The laptop also suffers from slow SSD speeds and poor battery life, making it a compromise between form and function.
