Beyond Fast: Feel the power emanating from within the neon-hued shell of the Helios 16. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU is beyond fast for gamers and creators. They’re powered by the ultra-efficient NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture which delivers a quantum leap in both performance and AI-powered graphics.
Trust Your Eyes: At 16 inches with a 16:10 aspect ratio, the pristine WQXGA LED panel clocks in with a fast 240Hz refresh and 3ms Overdrive response time. Alongside the suite of features from NVIDIA G-SYNC and NVIDIA Advanced Optimus, you’re guaranteed that games, movies, and whatever’s on-screen – all benefit from extreme levels of performance.
Start Your Engines: This Predator Helios 16 laptop will take your game library, place it in front of you, and dare you to give it a challenge. Not only does Helios look good while dishing out frame after frame, but this RTX-empowered machine is fully optimized for maximum 140W MGP usage, so you always have two things: Full Power.
NVIDIA Advanced Optimus: NVIDIA Advanced Optimus is NVIDIA’s graphics switching technology, which allows a laptop display to dynamically switch between the integrated graphics (inside the processor) and the discrete graphics (the Nvidia GPU) without having to reboot.
Internal Specifications: 16GB DDR5 (Up to 4800 MT/s) memory (2 DDR5 Slots Total, Maximum 32GB); 1TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD (2 x PCIe M.2 Slots)
Fully Connected: With the Intel Killer E2600 Ethernet Controller and Intel Killer Wi-Fi 6E AX1675, you have all the tools you need to clear out the online competition. Plug all your peripherals into the full range of USB 3.2 Gen2, including two incredibly fast Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports and HDMI 2.1. There’s even a Micro SD Card Reader if needed!
Cooling Perfected: The Helios 16, as a high-performance gaming laptop, includes only the best state-of-the-art cooling: dual custom-engineered 5th Gen AeroBlade 3D metal Fans, vector heat pipes, and the chilling effects of liquid metal thermal grease on an already industry-leading 13th Gen Intel CPU.
Keyed For Total Control: Make that per-key RGB keyboard shine with Mini LED backlights that are brighter, require less power and are more uniform in color (with less halo) than their non-Mini LED counterparts. Access PredatorSense to further personalize the RGB to your own style.
Personalize With PredatorSense: Pop open PredatorSense and mix and match colors to your heart’s content. Whether you want to adjust your RGB via Pulsar Lighting for a particular theme, manage overclocking, or max out fan speeds – you can do it all from one easily accessible app.

WoW Player Here – Excellent Bang for Your Buck
TLDR; This is an excellent machine for the money if you are an MMORPG player. No regrets about buying this one. It’s a keeper.I recently got back into World of Warcraft after many years away and my old laptop just couldn’t keep up. I started looking around at laptops capable of WoW gaming and actually tried out an MSI Stealth for a couple of weeks. It was a pretty laptop and lightweight, but man it struggled to keep up just being in a main city. Then I had a battery issue with it and decided to shop around instead of sending my brand new laptop in for work.How I use it: Play WoW, I use it for my side gig (AI Chatbots) and general doom scrolling. I don’t overclock or do anything fancy to try to squeeze more out of my machine, other than minor upgrades and settings tweaks.I looked at a ton of laptops and combos of specs and finally thought I’d give this one a try. It had slightly better specs than the MSI at around the same price. This laptop is awesome. It never struggles to keep up at. I haven’t done any raids yet so I don’t know how it will perform in that situation but I will update once I know.Pros: performs beautifully playing World of Warcaft. Fan almost never needs to kick in, yet it also doesn’t get that hot.Cons:Size/weight: this thing is heavy and huge. It packs a punch but you sacrifice portability. Yes it’s a 16″ laptop but I hadn’t imagined just how big and heavy it would be. I have a 16″ laptop for work and this is far heavier. It feels well made though. Yes you can still carry it around, but you won’t want to much. I mostly keep it at home anyway so that’s not a deal breaker for me.Battery life: yeah, it’s pretty bad. I’ve been on battery power for almost an hour on “eco-mode” and it’s down 15%. The power brick is also huge, so if you are communiting or traveling with this often, the weight and size of the computer with brick is going to be a drag.RAM limited to 32gb: I’m suprised such a big and powerful laptop can only take up to 32gb of ram. I have not yet upgraded my RAM yet because it’s performed so well so far. I do have 32gb on hand and plan to upgrade anyway. But seeing how well it’s performed so far, not having 64gb might not be an issue at all.Can’t (yet) figure out how to wake from sleep with bluetooth keyboard/mouse. I have changed every possible setting under the sun, including tweaking the BIOS and it still doesn’t wake on bluetooth mouse/keyboard. That’s annoying. I have a really small desk that houses to 27″ monitors and two laptops. I keep the laptops in a vertical stand which saves me tons of space, but it’s super annoying to have to pull this thing out, open it up and wake it up.

I was going to purchase a Macbook Pro…
After a lot of research, I chose to go with this gaming computer. I am a full-time college student and professional photographer. I needed something fast, and with great quality and clarity. This company shipped super-fast, and I had the computer within a day. I would also like to note that this computer speed is exceptional, as well as its color and clarity. I was going to purchase a Macbook Pro, though, I am not sure it’s entirely necessary at this point! I’m giving this a 10/10!!!! Seriously, it might have just changed my mind about IOS.

Defective Product
Got the laptop yesterday and tried to set it up. It was good for 5 seconds before the screen completely crapped out on me. Amazon wasn’t very helpful in exchanging the product. I’m real disappointed with the whole experience.

Good for 3D work
I use this laptop for 3d in blender and those a great job.But I had to give it a four star review because my trackpad isn’t working and also the battery does not last long, so most of the time I have to plug in the charger.
