      Does the Acer Helios Neo 16 have a battery conservation option like Lenovo's laptop ? My Lenovo Legion 5P is nearing 3 years of usage and the total battery capacity has only been reduced by 2% out of 80Wh.
      edit: Acer does have battery conservation through Acer's Care Center software which stops battery from charging when reaching 80% capacity.

    Acer with their Nitro 16 7840HS + 4060 and Asus TUF F15 with 12700H + 4060 really surprised with some budget pricing right out of the gates! The efficiency advantage of the 40 series may be handy for people living in warmer climates along with Frame Gen.
    Also not all full power 3070Ti laptops are equally fast, as the 3070Ti is very power dependent and there is like a 5% difference between various laptops (like comparing a 3070Ti Omen against a 3070Ti Legion).

    May I ask what your pick is for a dual-boot Windows/Linux system?
    For example, Lenovo is pretty good and supports many features in the boot, and hotkeys are working fine, including coolers mode. At the same time, on the Asus series, I had some problems with bios (each time I switched systems, the time was messed up), and some hotkeys, including cooler modes, didn't work.
    What alternatives to Lenovo laptops exist?

    I do find this interesting. I disabled 8 E cores on my GT77 and did a slight undervolt in bios (-0.50, I was scared lol). Basically all CPU power was devoted to 16 cores rather than 24.
    I got 27.9 K cinebench (13980HX running 16 cores/24 threads) vs 32.8K with stock standard 24 core no undervolt settings.
    I actually think, since the clock speeds were noticeably higher, it makes much more sense in almost all scenarios to run 16 cores rather than 24. There's no game that can benefit from 24 cores.
    All cores in this mode ran at maximum all core turbo speeds without throttle, both P and E cores. When 24 cores are enabled, the P cores start at 4.8 in cinebench but settle to an all P core of 4.5 due to thermals. This is with no undervolt though.
    Still, a maintained 4.5 is impressive in such a gargantuan laptop chip, but my games are legit running better with 16 cores, and in some cases, even better with ALL E cores disabled (scroll lock shortcut disables them, need to use OSK since laptop doesn't have physical scroll lock key). My Timespy as stock out of the box was over 18K on cpu and 22.1K total score.
    It really goes to show the crazy wattage the massive GT77 can provide vs a relative compact 16" like this, as 16 cores here netted just under 20K in CB. After all, it's identical processor architecture.
    Single core performance is up when power is all devoted to less cores, it benefits in every way unless you are doing hard core video RENDERING and want the all core grunt.
    My GT77 hit 220W in CB R23 LOL but the latest bios caps it to 120W in all modes, it's a known bug, so GT77 users, do NOT update your bios till MSI fixes this!
    I am very impressed with the 16 core thermals of this little Acer laptop. Indeed.

      @greebj 21 วันที่ผ่านมา

      That's a bit pointless to disable E cores which are basically only useful in workloads like cinebench.
      Doing this doesn't make any difference in games because the E cores are sleeping anyway. Disabling HT on the P cores can improve game fps very slightly.

    Have you already tested the 2024 Neo 16 models and can explain the differences? Of course besides the14th CPUs and maybe newer GPUs.

    Of courde the 13900hx will be fester, but I cant find anything if the 2024 models may have other improvements like cooling, I/O, Software, or whatever 🤷🏼‍♂️

  • @feraldrgn

    I think I'd rather just get the Helios 16 rather than the Neo, since the Neo is plastic & I'm too used to the premium aluminium feel of older Acers (& I hate the flex of plastic).
    Both models I have available to me are RTX 4070 & say they can last up to 8 hours (battery life for Li-ion has gotten pretty bad & I hate Li-po).
    It's kind of weird how keyboards minimize the shift to fit full sized arrow keys, it's a bit unnecessary.

  • @prateek29c
    @prateek29c 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I am sure the real difference would come when using dlss 3.0, which was not used here. Dlss 3.0 frame generation is only supported by 4xx cards, and it gives min 30-40% bump over the last gen cards. Nvidia heavily marketed this feature for 4x cards, and Digital Foundary has also made a video about it. Tensor cores have also improved, so you will definitely get better results in Ray tracing scenarios. I had Predator 300 with rtx 3060 and recently brought predator helios 16 with rtx 4070. Generation on generation performance for 4xx cards are pathetic, but dlss 3.0 surely gives a nice boost to the frames.

    • @JarrodsTech
      @JarrodsTech  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      DLSS 3 cannot be used to fairly compare. We test with it on/off in the RTX 40 vs 30 comparisons to demontrate it, but that's it.

    I own this laptop with this exact same configuration. I have to say I'm really having fun playing games on it. Didn't really mind the bad things that Jarrod pointed out. Didn't really even know that they were bad things until he said that they were. Didn't really mind the framerates as anything above 60fps at high settings is playable anyway. The price in my country is well below msi gp77 which made me choose this one. Also the last year's model with 3070 still has more price than this one.
