This model of the Acer Predator Helios Neo 18 AI features an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti laptop GPU with 12GB of fast GDDR7 VRAM, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD. The chassis is a mix of metal and plastic, with an abyssal black finish. There are multiple RGB zones all over the laptop, so you can dial it up to 11 if you want to go for the full gamified lightshow.
Also on sale is the slightly beefier version of the same Acer Predator Helios Neo 18 Ai laptop, available from Amazon for $2399.99. This more potent variant sports double the RAM at 32GB and double the storage at 2TB, but does cost significantly more. The original list price of the 32GB Acer Predator Helios Neo 18 Ai was $2699.99.
We haven't had the opportunity to review this model of the Acer Predator Helios Neo 18 AI, so we can't fully compare the laptop to any competition or see its performance benchmarks. These are familiar components, though, so we do have a rough idea of the capabilities. The RTX 5070 Ti will be able to run games smoothly on the 18-inch 2560x1600 WQXGA+ screen, and can also make use of Nvidia's DLSS software to increase framerates for a smoother experience on more taxing titles.
