Plagued by a terrible pixel policy, Acer requires more than 5 dead pixels in order for them to replace your laptop. Do you realize how obnoxious 4 dead/ stuck pixels on your laptop screen is!? Never buying Acer again

We had the opportunity to review the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 gaming laptop ourselves, although the unit we covered had a 4060 graphics card and was more expensive.

It also had an i7-13700HX which has 2 more P and 2 more E cores as well as a 300mhz faster clock speed and 6MB more cache, and the 4060M is 25%-ish faster than the 4050M. I'd say you're better off spending $80 more and getting the ASUS TUF 15.6" since, while it has a last generation 12700H processor (6+8) and a lower resolution (1920x1080), it has a RTX 4070M, which is 42%-ish faster than the RTX 4050M, and is capable of 60fps gaming at 1920x1080.

I've purchased my family 3(!) of the Helios laptops over the years. They perform really well for the price.

Acers pixel policy is comparable to every other major OEM. If you had 4 fully dead pixels (Not sub pixels) then it warranted a replacement. The documents for all brands are freely available online.

Don't see any dead pixel or stuck for long time... just got premium painels I think

I would not consider this a gaming laptop if in fact it comes with an SSD and not NVME drive.

NVMe is the protocol used to transfer data on the SSD, like SATA. So all NVMe drives are ssd's, not all ssd's are NVMe.

Thank you for the clarification. The author of the article may want to use NVME in reviews instead of SSD.
