  • We set out to find the best 16" gaming laptops from companies like Acer, Alienware, Omen, Legion, Dell and ROG. We put them through tests for Battery Life, Gaming Performance, Build Quality, Screens and more. They also have AMD Ryzen and Intel CPUs. And in the end, the one laptop that stood out ended up being a serious surprise.

    I think it might be a good idea to start calling out the color space on laptop displays in addition to color accuracy. I looked at a ton of gaming laptops recently and **sooo** many of them are equipped with a "45% NTSC" display, which ...is insane to me (that's ~62% sRGB). Gradients must have all sorts of banding on those displays and I imagine all sorts of other weird color issues. I was shocked when I saw how many manufacturers are using these displays....

      Actually it isn't , it has better thermals (10-15 °C cooler) than the Alienware laptops in most cases and that thing has 4 fans and full damn extension at back for cooling. It's on par with legion and other thicker laptops. Idk how they doing this but it should have been done in their 2021 onward models itself.

    You are confused with Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 and Predator Helios 16. They are 2 different ones. Neo16 is an all plastic build with lesser specs (eventhough the hardware specs are the same as Helios 16). Where as Helios 16 is an all aluminium build with 240Hz panel, per key LED and is a flagship model from Acer. So at the beginning you listed out that it was Neo 16 used for this test. But at the end while giving those tier ranks you mention it as Helios 16. could you clarify which one is exactly used here?

    The Inspiron 16 Plus is really more of a mid-range creator laptop with gaming on the side.

    • @handlemonium
      @handlemonium 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      The Asus TUF A16 wasn't in this round up.
      According to Notebookcheck it has the longest web browsing & video playback (or similar light non-GPU heavy workload) battery life out of all dedicated graphics laptops this year at *12 HOURS!*
      Though I bet it's more like 8 hours on the "balanced" performance profile at 100% brightness but that's still awesome for a large gaming laptop.

    • @solindiegames1999

    Got my slim 7 few days back with amd+4060+3.2k screen+32gb+1tb & tested battery life & got 10.5hrs. The screen has some minor backlight bleed from all 4 corners compared to my previous macbook pro 13 screen but still great upgrade. Wish it had advanced Optimus like 7i but i will take 10+hrs battery life over Intel crap any day of the week especially in laptops.
    But omen 16 transcend is a better competitor to slim 7 & in general i guess. Especially with the miniled screen option. The only gripe is performance is not that great as thermal limited & bad keyboard, no 2nd m.2, expensive upgrade options compared to Lenovo. But for 1.7-1.8k that was way better in many aspects compared to most laptops here.
    How was your experience with backlight bleed on slim 7i? This was 1600p screen so not apples to apples comparison but still. Especially in almost dark room. Ofc in any sort of light it cannot be noticed.

      You got that on a bananas sale, I looked at that same Omen recently and HP had it for "sale" for $1570, although your config w/ 240Hz display and 1TB SSD is currently $1700, and I don't see it cheaper at another retailer, so you shouldn't be using $850 as the comparison price when it's currently being sold for twice that amount.
      The Omen 17" Intel 13700HX + RTX 4060 is currently on sale for just under $1200, which isn't bad, but worse display and smaller SSD. There is a Omen 16 Ryzen 7840 + 4060 16GB RAM 1TB on sale for $1100, but it can't be customized and only has the 1080p / 165Hz display, not remotely comparable.
      If you can currently get your hands on a brand new Omen 16 7840HS + RTX 4060 - 16GB RAM/1TB SSD 240Hz 1440p for $849, I'd recommend you buy it, immediately. Shit, buy as many as you can and then turn around and sell them each for $400 profit while still undercutting HP sale prices.

    Hello, great video!!🔥 I’m undecided between the Acer Predator Helios 16, QHD+ 240hz, i9-13900HX, RTX4070 and the Asus Rog Strix G16, QHD+ 240hz, i9-13980HX, RTX 4070, both cost approximately the same price. Which one is more worth it?

      Hey there!
      I personally own an Acer Predator Helios 16 with a 4080 and without the offered Mini-LED panel.
      This year I can fully recommend the Helios 16 as I love its gorgeous display and keyboard (offering a Numpad).
      If you have any questions about it you can ask away!

      The thermals are what you would expect for the most part, with the GPU staying nice and cool and the CPU going nuts.
      During gaming, it's common to see the CPU at it's thermal throttle limit of 92°C or even 100, but with sufficient cooling and liquid metal repaste it should run cooler.
      Fan noise is within the acceptable range but pretty loud on max, lower settings are available tho.
      Also, undervolting is possible but more complicated thanks to Intels lock.

    In my eyes the most important factor is value per money, and how much is worth adding in terms of long term investment, some people prefer just putting as least possible but like most of us prefer a New unused item. But than again for just 50 $ dollar more we get better screen for example, but this companies know how to play the marketing game perfectly, and downgrade other part and that how they lore you to waste much more than you intend to.. just stick to a budget and decisions will be easier. Happy gaming!

    Question for anyone with the Zephyrus M16. I have the 4080 version (miniLED) and I have noticed a very slight dimming of the screen near the bezels (very slight vignetting) as compared to most of the central area (95%) which is beautifully lit. It's not noticeable unless someone really looks for it but now using the laptop for a couple of months, I have noticed it and it bugs me. Is this common or have got a dud panel? Amazing and sleek laptop though and I would say that the build quality rating should be at least A-tier.

    Alright, I ususally never comment on videos, but I just wanted to put this out there about the Predator Helios Neo16, I do agree that the keys and typing might be slightly inferior to its competitors in the video, however, you forget to mention the termals on these machines and I will say for the Predator, I tested it with a consistent 86deg celcius average when gaming on a warmer room (without turbo) and low 80 high 70s average in a cooler room / environemnt and let's not forget the 3ms 165hz monitor with the Nvidia G-sync as well, it makes gaming so seamless with no screen tearing at all which you do touch on. The power supply is definitely a big big, which is another con, but another pro for this machine is that the placement for the trackpad placement id argue to be very well place IF you are right handed as when you type on the keyboard you would notice that the tumb can easily move the cursor around to click on things without needing to move you hand too much. Then again these are just small details that might be subjective to toher people. I used to on an MSI 72Leopard Pro and that laptop had one of the best keyboards i've ever used on laptops, it was developed by steelseries, and it is phenomenal. Later market laptops outside of MSI seem to lack that kind of quality however so this is indeed another con for the helio 16. But all in all I just wanted to point out for the price of the machine giving you an RTX4060 with a 165hz monitor 3ms response time, this is a really decent machine built for gaming as well if it comes to budget machines with power. Many modern gaming laptops unfortunately still feature 120hz or 144hz but acer was able to take this one step further and on top of that the termals are fanatstic on this machine as well which you do mention.
