Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S AI

Pros

• But if you end up not liking it and you want to try something different, I think the 16s is still a a good laptop.
• the Acer Helios is really good, either that or Lenovo legion whichever is better.
• I have the Helios neo, not bad machine and its thin, somewhat light, so I use it to take to work. but that's my reason why I have it. I game on it and I know it's not using the maximum power possible, but it still does good.
