Our final productivity test is Puget Systems' PugetBench for Photoshop, which uses the Creative Cloud version 22 of Adobe's famous image editor to rate a PC's performance for content creation and multimedia applications.

Finally, we use the open-source video transcoder HandBrake 1.4 to convert a 12-minute video clip from 4K to 1080p resolution (lower times are better).

Maxon's Cinebench R23 uses that company's Cinema 4D engine to render a complex scene, while Primate Labs' Geekbench 5.4 Pro simulates popular apps ranging from PDF rendering and speech recognition to machine learning. Three benchmarks focus on the CPU, using all available cores and threads, to rate a PC's suitability for processor-intensive workloads.

We also run PCMark 10's Full System Drive test to assess the load time and throughput of a laptop's storage. The main benchmark of UL's PCMark 10 simulates a variety of real-world productivity and content-creation workflows to measure overall performance for office-centric tasks such as word processing, spreadsheeting, web browsing, and videoconferencing. You can see their basic specs in the table below. The XPG Xenia 15 KC has the same CPU as the others, but its GeForce RTX 3070, 1440p screen, and extra RAM and storage make it more costly. We've already mentioned the Acer Nitro 5 and MSI Katana GF66, and the HP Victus 16 is in the same price ballpark.
Performance Testing: A Five-Way Core i7-11800H Gaming Meleeįor our benchmark charts, we compared the Predator to four other gaming laptops. White backgrounds are white instead of grayish. Contrast is high and fine details are crisp viewing angles are broad. While the Nitro 5's 1080p screen was obviously bought in the bargain aisle, the Predator's is more impressive, with ample brightness and rich, well-saturated colors.

Our test unit has Windows 10 Home, though Acer is now selling the system with Windows 11. Other preinstalled utilities range from PhotoDirector and PowerDirector to Dropbox, ExpressVPN, and Planet9 (Acer's gaming community) promos. DTS:X Ultra software offers an equalizer and presets for music, movies, voice, and gaming genres such as RPG and shooter. Bass is nonexistent, but you can make out overlapping tracks. A speaker grille above the keyboard produces relatively soft, somewhat hollow sound.

The webcam has the usual blurry 720p resolution and no privacy shutter it captures fairly colorful and well-lit images with noticeable noise or static.
A chrome-trimmed, buttonless touchpad glides and taps smoothly, though it's difficult to click except at the very bottom. It has a soft, shallow typing feel that isn't particularly responsive.
The keyboard features dedicated Home, End, Page Up, and Page Down keys as well as a numeric keypad, though they and other top-row keys like Escape and Delete are puny. We used Extreme for our benchmark tests, though we did try a few with Turbo and saw a 2% or 3% improvement in some tests (but no improvement in our game tests, which already maxed out the fans). It also lets you choose among Quiet, Default, Extreme, and Turbo performance modes, the last two advertising CPU and GPU overclocking and Turbo increasing cooling fan noise to a deafening roar. An RGB Light ShowĪ special key launches the PredatorSense utility, which monitors system temperatures, offers multicolor animated patterns for the backlit keyboard, and lets you toggle settings such as the keyboard lighting timeout and a clashing startup sound. The laptop's left side holds two USB 3.2 Type-A ports, Ethernet and audio jacks, and a security lock slot.Ī third USB-A port joins the Thunderbolt 4, mini DisplayPort, and HDMI ports on the right the AC adapter plugs in at the rear. With neither a fingerprint reader nor a face recognition webcam, you'll have to type passwords instead of logging in with Windows Hello. Handsome in black aluminum with a stylized, illuminated Predator logo on the lid, the Acer is advertised as weighing 5.5 pounds, but my scale pegged it at the same 4.8 pounds as the Nitro 5, whose size it matches exactly at 0.9 by 14.3 by 10 inches (HWD).įairly thick bezels surround the screen, which like the keyboard shows some flex under pressure. The top of the line is $2,299.99 with a GeForce RTX 3080, 240Hz screen, 32GB of memory, and a 1TB SSD. They even have the same ports in the same places, though the Predator adds a mini DisplayPort and its USB-C port supports Thunderbolt 4.įor $1,199.99, the lowest-priced Helios 300 offers a six-core Core i7 CPU and Nvidia's previous-generation RTX 2060. But the two Acers share Intel's eight-core, 2.3GHz Core i7-11800H processor, 16GB of RAM, 512GB of storage, and a 144Hz, 1,920-by-1,080-pixel display.
