I’m always intrigued to see moderately-priced entries when looking for the best gaming laptops available on the market. While models loaded-to-the-gills with $2,000 (or higher!) price tags often pack tons of performance, gamers with more meager budgets are now awash with less expensive entries that offer a lot of bang for the buck.
With this in mind, that’s an all-new contender in the field, the Acer Predator Helio Neo 16, which offers an Intel Core i7-13700HX processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 16-inch QHD (2560 x 1440) display. It's not a budget system, but at $1,199 to start, $1,549 as tested, it's not unreasonable.
