Hello everyone, my valued readers. As it is known, I have been using the Acer Nitro 16 4060 device for about 5 months. I use the device for 80% work and 20% play and I felt the need to switch to a device with an Intel processor in line with my needs and started a search. I had the 13700HX 4060 Helios Neo in mind but I couldn't find it in stock, suddenly I came across the 13700HX 4070 Helios Neo with the code NH.QLVEY.004.
I have been using the device for 3-4 days and wanted to share my experiences with you.

Processor: Intel Core i7-13700HX 30M Cache, up to 5.00 GHz
This processor, consisting of 16 cores and 24 cores, 8 for performance and 8 for efficiency, was offered by Acer as an EC limited device. If we explain the EC limit, the processor works at its maximum power of 157W for 1 minute, and at the end of 1 minute the processor protects itself and fixes the processor power to 100W. While this limit does not mean anything to those who play games in general, those who will do rendering and modeling experience some power loss.
As for processor cooling, liquid metal paste really does its job very well and can keep even a device like Intel that likes to heat up at 82 degrees at 157W. The maximum score the processor received in the R23 test I conducted was 23155.

I really liked the compatibility of 2560x1600 and 4070, the screen is incredibly bright and very vivid with colors. The GPU runs extremely cool anyway and does not experience any performance loss. As is known, due to NVIDIA power optimization in 4050-60 and 70 cards, the card does not exceed 100W outside of specific loads. In the latest BIOS update for Helios Neo, it is written that an optimization has been made for NVIDIA GPU. As far as I observed in the RDR2 test I did, the GPU works at an average of 120W. In short, Acer has opened a stopper for Helios Neo like.

Generally speaking, this is the performance of the device. I didn't want to write the other features again, they are exactly the same as my Nitro 16 review. You can reach that review from the link below.
Finally, I leave a link for those who are thinking of buying the device and if there are other tests you want me to do, just write them in the comments.
