Cooled by 2 5th generation AeroBlade 3D fans, 2 vector heat pipes, liquid metal thermal paste as well as ventilation grilles, this versatile laptop targeting gamers and creatives adopts a gamer look with its angular black design.

This creative gaming laptop PC integrates good connectivity including 2 USB-C including 1 Thunderbolt 4, Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6E wireless modules to communicate and connect remotely, a practical HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or a monitor for example, an audio port or even 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) ensuring transfers are carried out up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are connected to them.

When the keys are difficult to discern, simply activate the RGB backlighting of the chiclet keyboard.

Fans of High Definition content will be delighted to be dealing with a 3K screen that is clearly superior to Full HD, associated here with a 16/10th format higher than the classic 16/9th to display more elements.
Gamers are not left out since the screen is adorned with a refresh rate of 165Hz higher than the standard 60Hz to offer much better fluidity in everyday life, including in games.
The screen also benefits from sRGB colorimetry that is more faithful than average as well as significant viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically, thanks to its IPS technology.
Furthermore, it adopts an anti-reflective coating ensuring better visibility in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors) than a shiny panel.

Performance, battery life of the Acer Predator Helios Neo 14 PHN14-51-954H

The Acer Predator Helios Neo 14 PHN14-51-954H may appeal to those who wish to have a compact High Definition nomadic multimedia portable PC powerful for AI-oriented gaming and creation.

The good overall power it provides will appeal to demanding users, whether gamers or creators.
Because it is built around a good amount of 32 GB RAM and a high-end Core Ultra 9 185H processor Meteor Lake with 16 hybrid cores, AI capabilities and integrated Intel Arc graphics module.

Multimedia processing is carried out much faster with this duo than with 16/24 GB DDR4/5 and a Quad/Hexa Core.
We strongly feel the difference in areas that are intensive in RAM and CPU resources taking advantage of multi-core (and AI), such as video editing, 3D rendering or photo editing.

As this Ultrabook features the GeForce RTX 4070 as a bonus, creative people will be delighted. Because this dedicated graphics card accelerates multimedia processing under software using multi-core. We think in particular of the Adobe suite, VSDC or Vegas.

However, it is gamers who represent the main target of the GeForce RTX 4070 ray tracing. Because it is a dedicated high-end NVIDIA Ada Lovelace graphics card with which you can play recent games.
Under the most demanding titles in 3D resources, however, concessions may be necessary. Because in 3K more graphics calculations are required than in Full HD to play, which implies a lower number of fps.

NVIDIA Optimus technology automatically switches in real time between the Intel Arc (whose performance is superior to that of the classic Iris Xe) and the GeForce RTX 4070.
The first is favored as much as possible by Optimus because it consumes little energy which promotes autonomy.

This represents an undeniable advantage of this configuration since it is around 8 hours on battery in light use. Something to interest some wishing to equip themselves with a student laptop powerful multimedia versatile in gaming and creation, especially since it is easy to transport because it is compact, thin and relatively light.

Optimus actually activates the GeForce RTX 4070 to carry out graphics work deemed too heavy for the Intel Arc, typically for gaming.

The storage is appreciable since it is entrusted to an SSD with a very comfortable capacity of 1 TB to calmly install and store multiple games, software and files including a personal production if desired.

Both shock-resistant, energy-efficient and silent, an SSD is above all fast, which provides great responsiveness and fluidity on a daily basis.
This means you can quickly access online game cards while launching games/software, processing and starting/stopping are quick.

Finally, this portable multimedia multimedia Ultrabook heats up and makes itself heard when it is heavily used (e.g. games, treatments).
If necessary, we can associate it with a ventilated support to limit its temperatures (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
