Brightness-wise, the laptop doesn’t disappoint too, with the overall brightness neither too dark nor too bright that it blinds you. Images on the WUXGA screen are great, and colours pretty much pop out right at you. With a 16-inch, 165hz WUXGA screen that uses an IPS panel, it has all the elements for some buttery-smooth gameplay or just regular web browsing.Īs for the display quality, expect your overall viewing experience to be crisp and clean. The Predator Helios Neo 16 is an entry-level gaming laptop, but while you might expect it not to be as good as other units, it still more than manages to hold its own. The two Thunderbolt ports available at the back, alongside three USB-A ports at the side of the laptop Performance Next up, the Predator Helios Neo 16 has 5 USB Ports in total – x2 USB-A Gen 2, x1 USB-A 3.2 Gen1 and x2 USB-C Thunderbolt™ 4 Ports, meaning that most cables would work together perfectly with the laptop without the need for additional adaptors. The keyboard is a full-sized compact layout, meaning that you get all the keys you might need Lastly, there is also a Numpad for convenience, so you no longer have to traverse the entire keyboard to type out the number 10. In terms of the typing feel, the keyboard feels great to type on, though don’t expect the typing experience to mirror that of those expensive mechanical keyboards it is a laptop keyboard, after all.

For example, you can choose a colour from the entire colour spectrum, change the colour of different zones on your keyboard, and change the lighting effects to however you want it to be!

The keyboard allows for quite a fair bit of customisation via the Predator Sense application. Officially, the Predator Helios Neo 16 weighs approximately 2.8kg, making it quite a heavy machine, especially compared to other offerings.Īs for the lighting, RGB fans can rejoice. Weight-wise however, is where I was a little taken aback. The laptop isn’t bulky and would fit snugly in many bags. There are also laser-etched encrypted codes on the laptop’s cover that have a hidden message, but I couldn’t figure out what it meant, but maybe you can? The outer shell of the laptop is sleek and stylish The first thing you’d realise about the laptop is its sleekness – finished in an anodised “abyssal-black”.
