Unleash Your Gaming Potential with the New Acer Predator Helios Laptops and Acer Predator Monitor

PC gaming works best with a powerful and customizable setup. Even if you’re gaming on the go, you want to make sure you’re dialed in comfortably; those zombies aren’t going to shoot themselves. Acer wants to ensure you’re ready for every virtual apocalypse (apocalypses? apocalypsi?) with three new Acer Predator Helios laptops and a new Acer Predator gaming monitor!

Acer Predator Helios 16 AI and 18 AI

Acer Predator Helios AI laptops will be sporting up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 GPUs, and a dedicated NPU for responsive AI performance. There are also 150+ AI-optimized apps along for the ride for all your generative AI needs.

The Acer Predator Helios 16 AI can support up to 64GB of memory and up to 4TB of storage, while the Acer Predator Helios 18 AI can handle up to 192GB of memory and up to 6TB of storage! Luckily, things will stay nice and cool with Acer’s proprietary 6th Gen AeroBlade 3D metal fans—they’re the world’s thinnest cooling fans and boost airflow by 20% vs plastic fans.

Visually, the Acer Predator Helios 16 AI has an OLED WQXGA display. In contrast, the Acer Predator Helios 18 AI has a 4K Mini LED WQXGA display and a dual-mode option to flip to FHD resolution through the PredatorSense App.

The keyboard also has per-key LEDs, swappable mechanical switches for the WASD and arrow keys, and dynamic RGB lighting along the top lid, the rear frame, the left edge, and the right palm rest. After all, can you really game well if you’re not giving the room a colorful glow?

Both laptops offer DTS:X ultra audio, so your Solitaire game sounds exactly like Microsoft intended. The Acer Predator Heli0s 16 AI has four speakers, while the Acer Predator Helios 18 AI takes advantage of the larger size to sport 6. You also get access to the PredatorSense app for ways to dial in the performance to your needs, along with the Experience Zone to explore the AI features fully.

The Acer Predator Helios 16 AI will ship in June, starting at $2,299.99, while the Acer Predator Helios 18 AI will be available in May, starting at $2,999.99.

Acer Predator Helios Neo 16s AI

Acer knows that even gaming laptops need to look svelte. The Acer Predator Helios Neo 16s AI is less than 19.9mm at its thinnest, or about .7″, which is pretty darn thin for a gaming device! You don’t give up performance for size, with up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor, integrated NPU for AI, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 GPU. It can also handle up to 32GB of memory and 2 TB of storage for plenty of memory and storage.

A WQXGA OLED screen with a 240hz refresh rate means visuals are just as powerful. And under the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16s AI’s hood it’s running 5th Gen AeroBlade fans to keep things cool.

Like its bigger Helios siblings, it also has the PredatorSense app and Experience Zone, so you can fully customize your experience and play with the AI options.

 

Look for the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16s AI this April, starting at $1,699.99.

Acer Predator XB323QX Monitor

It’s a known fact that the more Xs and Qs you include in your monitor designation, the cooler it is. The Acer Predator XB323QX Monitor lives up to that rule with a 31.5″ 5K IPS display, 144Hz refresh rate, and a zippy 0.5ms response time. That means 4X more motion clarity and super-clear images, helped along by NVIDIA G-SYNC Pulsar.

The Acer Predator XB323QX Monitor also has integrated 2-watt speakers, and the stand offers adjustable tilt, swivel, and height. Or, if you’re feeling extra spicy, you can mount the monitor directly to the wall to save space and confuse your visitors.

There is no word yet on availability or pricing for the Acer Predator XB323QX Monitor, so watch the Acer site for more information!

Acer Predator has firmly established itself as a powerhouse in the gaming world, offering cutting-edge technology that enhances performance and aesthetics. Whether gaming on the Acer Predator Helios laptops with AI-optimized features, enjoying vibrant visuals on the Acer Predator XB323QX Monitor, or diving into generative AI tasks, Acer ensures you’ll dominate your virtual adventures with style.

  1. These sound great, though by the time anyone really has a use for 192 GB RAM for gaming, the Helios 18 AI will be far from cutting edge.

  2. Intel Core Ultra 9 processor + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 GPUs + 192 GB RAM… Unreal power, such a laptop will last for years.

    I’ve been looking into monitors for a while, and the Acer Predator looks awesome. The 5K display and fast refresh rate would definitely take my gaming to the next level!
