“Acer continues to push the boundaries of gaming in our latest Predator devices. Our commitment to innovating in the gaming sphere is evident in the integration of the latest silicon, the world’s thinnest laptop cooling fan blades, and the slimmest design of our powerful Helios Neo laptops, advancements that help deliver the performance and immersive experiences gamers desire.” ~James Lin, General Manager, Notebooks at Acer Inc.
Important performance and feature upgrades to Acer's powerful Predator gaming laptops, including the flagship Predator Helios 16 AI and Predator Helios 18 AI, were announced today. The new Predator Helios Neo 16S AI, which features a slimmer chassis without compromising performance, is another addition to Acer's Helios Neo lineup of midrange gaming laptops.
All of the devices are equipped with next-generation NVIDIA GeForce RTXTM 50 Series laptop GPUs and an Intel® CoreTM Ultra 9 processor 275HX, which are designed to provide cutting-edge AI and gaming performance. GeForce RTXTM 50 Series laptop GPUs, powered by NVIDIA Blackwell, give creators and gamers revolutionary capabilities. New experiences and next-level graphics fidelity are made possible by the RTX 50 Series' enormous amount of AI power. With NVIDIA DLSS 4, you can perform multiple tasks, create images at a speed never seen before, and use NVIDIA Studio to unleash your creativity. Additionally, NVIDIA NIM Microservices are cutting-edge AI models that enable developers and enthusiasts to create AI agents, assistants, and workflows with optimal performance on NIM-ready systems.
The incredibly thin 6th Gen AeroBladeTM 3D fans and MagKey 4.0 mechanical switches also support the Helios devices. Additionally, both lines added OLED and Mini LED displays to their models and underwent design updates. Three months of PC Game Pass are included with the Windows 11 Predator gaming laptops. For PC gamers, PC Game Pass offers games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Ara: History Untold, and EA Play titles.
“The new Intel Core Ultra 200HX-series processors are purpose-built for the max performance and IO that enthusiast gamers demand, while delivering that experience at significantly lower power. Intel Core Ultra combined with Acer’s innovative system engineering results in amazing new Predator devices that raise the bar for gaming laptops.” ~David Feng, Vice President and General Manager, Client Segments, Client Computing Group at Intel.
The new Predator XB323QX gaming monitor was also revealed. It features a 31.5-inch 5K display and integrated NVIDIA G-SYNC® Pulsar technology, which provides exceptional visual fidelity and clarity.
Predator Helios 16 AI and Predator Helios 18 AI Gaming Laptops
The Helios 16 AI and Helios 18 AI, Predator's newest and most potent gaming laptops, are popular with gamers, early adopters, and tech enthusiasts looking for the newest CPUs and GPUs, cooling systems, and eye-catching screens. The Predator Helios 16 AI (PH16-73) offers a remarkable blend of portability and performance. It is incredibly capable and portable, making it simple for professionals or gamers on the go who need a powerful, mid-sized laptop for work and play to bring to LAN sessions, tournaments, and work. Hardcore gamers and tech-savvy customers seeking cutting-edge technology for uses other than gaming can now enjoy desktop-level performance, a larger screen, and excellent immersive gaming experiences with the Predator Helios 16 AI (PH18-73).
Both laptops offer up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor 275HX with NPU for AI-accelerated performance, up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU and the latest NVIDIA DLSS technologies to deliver accelerated performance for premium graphical gaming and AI experiences. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU also enhances the laptops with 150+ optimized AI apps on PC that use NVIDIA GPUs and RTX Tensor Cores to accelerate AI, including the top generative AI apps for LLMs, visual asset generation, and more.
Both systems offer enormous amounts of space for libraries of games, pictures, and movies. The Helios 18 AI supports up to a whopping 192 GB of memory and up to 6 TB of PCIe Gen 5 storage, while the Helios 16 AI can be configured with up to 64 GB of memory and up to 4 TB of PCIe Gen 5 storage. With its most recent developments in thermal technology, the Predator Helios devices go above and beyond. The exclusive 6th Gen AeroBlade 3D metal fans, which have the thinnest cooling fan blades in the world at just 0.05 mm, increase airflow by 20%[] when compared to plastic fans. Liquid metal thermal grease and vector heat pipes also aid in lowering temperatures.
The Helios devices also come with cutting-edge displays, providing stunning, bright and crystal-clear canvases for games and movies. The Helios 16 AI features an OLED WQXGA (2560x1600) display with a fast 240 Hz refresh rate. Meanwhile, the Helios 18 AI sports a 4K Mini LED WQXGA display, with a 120 Hz refresh rate, up to 1000 nits brightness, and a new dual-mode display feature that allows users to seamlessly switch to FHD resolution at 240 Hz via the PredatorSense application[ ]. They also support NVIDIA G-SYNC technology, NVIDIA Advanced Optimus and MUX Switch.
With Acer's MagKey 4.0 swappable mechanical switches for the WASD and arrow keys, the devices' per-key RGB keyboards improve typing experience and increase trigger signal accuracy. Faster response times for that crucial edge are achieved by the switches' faster actuation and more accurate trigger signals, which require only 0.3 mm of key travel to register a press. These devices add a powerful presence to any gaming scene with their new design, which includes dynamic RGB lighting on the top lid, along the rear frame, the left edges, and the right-side palm rest.
With the help of the most recent PredatorSense utility app, users can fully control the lighting, fans, and system performance on both laptops. Furthermore, AI-powered features like Acer PurifiedViewTM 2.0, Acer PurifiedVoiceTM 2.0, and the new Acer ProCamTM, which automatically detects and captures gameplay highlights, are simple to explore in the Experience Zone. For clear, high-quality audio, both laptops come with DTS:X Ultra; the Helios 16 AI has four speakers, while the Helios 18 AI has six. The newest Ethernet E5000B, Intel Killer Wi-Fi 7, and two Thunderbolt 5 ports provide lightning-fast connections.
Predator Helios Neo 16S AI Laptop
Performance, accuracy, and style are all balanced in the new Predator Helios Neo 16S AI laptop, which offers enormous performance in a smaller form factor. It is specifically made to be versatile in supporting demanding gaming and creative applications at a more affordable price point, measuring just less than 19.9 mm.
With support for up to the Intel Core Ultra 9 processor 275HX with an integrated NPU for AI and gaming and the new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU, the Helios Neo 16S AI (PHN16S-71) prioritizes performance just like the newly released Helios laptops. It also has the newest NVIDIA DLSS technologies for improved performance, image quality, and responsiveness, as well as up to 32 GB of memory and 2 TB of storage.
Its gorgeous OLED WQXGA display supports NVIDIA G-SYNC technology, NVIDIA Advanced Optimus, and a MUX Switch. It has a fast refresh rate of 240 Hz and a wide color gamut that supports 100% DCI-P3 for best-in-class visuals. Acer's 5th Gen AeroBlade technology and liquid metal thermal grease for the CPU are examples of advanced thermals. Players can access the Experience Zone's array of AI-powered features, and the PredatorSense app gives them real-time control over system modifications.
Predator XB323QX – 5K Powerhouse Monitor
The Predator XB323QX gaming monitor will captivate gamers who are looking for immersive gameplay. With a large 31.5-inch 5K IPS screen, a refresh rate of 144 Hz, a response time of 0.5 ms (GTG), and the ability to switch to WQHD (2560x1440) resolution at 288 Hz using Dynamic Frequency and Resolution (DFR) technology and NVIDIA G-SYNC Pulsar, it features buttery smooth action and incredibly clear images with 4x more effective motion clarity. With 95% DCI-P3 or 99% sRGB color gamut support, the monitor's vibrant colors and cinematic visuals are further enhanced by its true 10-bit color depth. It provides great connectivity with two HDMI 2.1 ports and DisplayPort 1.4.
Gamers can find the ideal viewing angle for any setting thanks to the monitor's tilt, swivel, and height adjustments for optimal comfort. In order to conserve desk space, it can also be wall-mounted. High-quality audio is amplified by the built-in 2-watt speakers, and control and calibration are made simple by the Acer display widget.
