Acer Debuts Predator Helios Neo AI Gaming Laptops with Intel, NVIDIA Power
February 7, 2025
Each purchase includes a three-month subscription to PC Game Pass, providing access to popular titles, and the laptops come pre-installed with Windows 11.
Acer has yet to disclose pricing details for the higher-end configurations, including those with OLED or Mini LED displays and RTX 5070 Ti GPUs.
These laptops can be configured with up to 64GB of DDR5-6400 RAM and 2TB of PCIe 4.0 SSD storage, making them robust options for gamers.
Targeting affordability, these devices are designed to deliver high-performance specifications, catering to both gamers on the go and those seeking desktop replacements.
Both models support NVIDIA DLSS 4 technology, which enhances frame rates and reduces latency through AI-driven improvements.
Additionally, they support NVIDIA G-SYNC, Advanced Optimus, and MUX Switch technology, ensuring a smooth gaming experience.
With sleek, minimalist designs featuring RGB logos and dynamic four-zone RGB keyboards, these laptops also weigh around 3.3 kg, making them relatively portable for gaming devices.
The laptops come with a 90Wh battery and Wi-Fi 6E support, although users should not expect long battery life during intensive gaming sessions.
The 16-inch model features an optional 2560 x 1600 OLED display with a 240Hz refresh rate, while the 18-inch model offers a Mini LED option at the same resolution with a 250Hz refresh rate.
The 'AI' designation in their names highlights the inclusion of artificial intelligence capabilities, although some consumers remain skeptical about AI-labeled products.
Equipped with the PredatorSense 5.0 utility app, these laptops also feature AI-enhanced tools for improved communication, including noise reduction and clearer video output.
Acer has unveiled its latest gaming laptops, the Predator Helios Neo 16 AI and 18 AI, both powered by Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processors and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series Laptop GPUs.
