This laptop has a QWERTY keyboard, which is different from a Belgian AZERTY keyboard. The Q and A keys are reversed on a QWERTY keyboard. The same goes for the W and Z keys. QWERTY keyboards also don't have keys for letters with accents. That's why you should only choose a QWERTY keyboard if you're used to it.

According to our laptop expert
You can smoothly play demanding games in Full HD with the RTX 5070 video card, the Intel Core Ultra 9 processor, and 32GB RAM.
The 240Hz WQXGA screen shows sharp images and fast movements smoothly, so you can game at a high level.
The NPU and AI functions of the processor automatically adjust the frame rate and resolution to each other, so you always game smoothly.
If you want to play demanding games in Quad HD, we recommend at least an RTX 5070 Ti video card.
Due to the 2.7kg weight, this laptop is less easy to take with you in your backpack or laptop bag.

The Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 AI PHN16 is a powerful 16-inch gaming laptop, allowing me to smoothly play medium- and high-end games in Full HD and Quad HD. I play most games without stuttering at a minimum of 60 frames per second. I also play games in Quad HD with DLSS support enabled. The laptop also has a cool gaming look with a 4-zone RGB backlit keyboard and a docking station on the back.
Powerful NVIDIA RTX 5070 graphics card The Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 has an NVIDIA RTX 5070 graphics card. This allows me to play all games in Full HD or Quad HD with DLSS support enabled. I play Indiana Jones at 80 to 100 frames per second in Quad HD with DLSS enabled. Clair Obscur is another game with richly detailed graphics, even reaching over 100 frames per second in Quad HD. The only game the graphics card struggles with is Microsoft Flight Simulator. I have to play this game in Full HD with DLSS support enabled. With these settings, I get more than 60 frames per second.
Sharp images with a high refresh rate On the 16-inch Quad HD display, I see sharp images and vivid details. I especially notice this in colorful games like Clair Obscur and Microsoft Flight Simulator. For example, I can see the Rotterdam skyline in every detail. This is thanks to the 100 percent coverage within the DCI-P3 color profile. I also see detail in dark games, such as S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. Furthermore, the laptop has a refresh rate of up to 240 Hz. This allows me to play shooters like Doom: The Dark Ages and Gears of War Reloaded with smooth images. In Full HD, I play Doom at about 100 frames per second. Gears of War even reaches more than 140 frames per second in Quad HD.
Sturdy chassis with a cool RGB gaming look The laptop feels sturdy thanks to the metal chassis. Besides providing good protection, it also helps with cooling. I feel heat while gaming, but it's not because the graphics card and processor exceed 60 degrees Celsius. I manage the fans via PredatorSense. They make a lot of noise, but it doesn't bother me while gaming. The laptop also has a cool gaming look thanks to the 4-zone RGB backlit keyboard. I use PredatorSense to set different patterns or a color per zone. I personally prefer wave lighting because it allows me to see all the colors. The Predator Helios Neo also has a built-in dock on the back. I use it to connect the charger, which I consider a nice advantage. It keeps my desk tidy and prevents cables from getting in the way. The downside is the weight; the laptop feels heavy.

This laptop has a beautiful, robust design, and is a bit heavier than a typical laptop, which is why it's a gaming laptop. You can also customize the backlighting on the keyboard and the back of the screen, adjusting the colors and movements. It also offers various scenarios that you can adjust to your needs, for gaming, quiet spaces, and everyday use. The laptop will then adapt to your needs, particularly the GPU and CPU usage.
This laptop boots very quickly, but a minor drawback is the loud and annoying startup sound. You can disable this in the included applications.
Above all, the laptop performs very well for its intended use and is highly recommended for gamers who want to be mobile and fast for gaming.

It's a gaming laptop. So I have it for gaming. And it performs more than excellently. It could certainly be better, but the graphics, sound, and speed are all excellent. Cyberpunk, DOOM Eternal—it runs like a dream. It's not the most expensive of the expensive, so there are undoubtedly games this machine isn't suitable for, but for a "regular" gamer, it's truly a top-notch device.
I give the battery life five stars, but keep in mind that this isn't an office machine you'll want to run all day on battery power. I almost always use AC power; the battery is for the exceptions.
