Acer just dropped its most powerful Predator yet, and it's shockingly slim
The gaming laptop scene just got sharper. Acer has dropped two new models in its Predator line up: the Helios Neo 16 AI and the Helios Neo 16S AI. Both are aimed squarely at gamers, creators, and professionals who want cutting-edge AI tools packed inside powerful, portable machines. The Helios Neo 16 AI sticks to a classic, full-sized Predator shell but comes loaded with next-gen internals like Intel's Core Ultra 9 chips and Nvidia's RTX 5070 Ti GPU. Think desktop-level grunt in a package that won't look out of place in a backpack. The thinner Helios Neo 16S AI is all about portability, clocking in under 18.9 mm thick, it's the slimmest Predator ever made. Both machines feature dedicated NPUs (Neural Processing Units) that handle AI features like real-time background blur, voice isolation, and image generation, leaving your CPU and GPU to focus on gaming and creative work. You also get support for DLSS 4, Reflex 2, and fourth-gen ray tracing, giving both laptops serious gaming credibility. There's a clear display divide here. The Neo 16 AI comes with a 240Hz WQXGA IPS panel, boasting 500 nits brightness and 100% DCI-P3 coverage. Meanwhile, the Neo 16S AI offers a richer, punchier OLED display, true blacks, and over 90% screen-to-body ratio. This makes it ideal for creators or anyone chasing immersive visuals. Storage and memory are maxed out at 64 GB DDR5 RAM and 2 TB PCIe Gen4 SSD support. Both laptops include Acer's revamped thermal setup: AeroBlade 3D fans, liquid metal paste, and vector heat pipes to keep things cool under load. RGB fans get a four-zone RGB keyboard and a glowing Predator logo on the lid. Both customizable via PredatorSense. There's also a dedicated Copilot key for quick access to Windows AI tools. The Predator Helios Neo 16S AI starts at ₹ 1,54,999, while the Helios Neo 16 AI kicks off at ₹ 2,29,999. Both models are available now via Acer Exclusive Stores, Acer E-store, Amazon, Flipkart, Croma, Reliance, and Vijay Sales.

Acer just announced two new gaming laptops with great specs and sleek designs
Acer just revealed two new gaming laptops at IEM Katowice, a Counter-Strike tournament in Poland. These are entries in the company's Predator Helios Neo AI line of laptops, so they are filled to the brim with both bells and whistles. The Helios Neo 16 AI and 18 AI can be outfitted with up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU. Both of these computers also boast sleek, minimalist designs, with RGB logos on the lid and 'dynamic 4-zone' RGB keyboards. They support up to 64GB of RAM and up to 2TB of internal storage. The laptops also come with Intel Killer Ethernet and integrate with Wi-Fi 6E, so online gaming sessions should be zippy as can be. Both models support NVIDIA G-SYNC, Advanced Optimus and MUX Switch. The Neo 16 AI includes an OLED WQXGA display with a 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time. The Helios Neo 18 AI features a Mini LED WQXGA panel with a 250Hz refresh rate and 3ms response time. The Neo 16 is being advertised as a great option for portable gaming, while the Neo 18 is being marketed as a desktop replacement. The Predator Helios Neo 16 AI will be available in the US sometime in April, with prices starting at $1,900. The Neo 18 AI goes on sale this May, with prices starting at $2,200. Acer has been busy lately. The company announced a trio of new laptops at CES 2025, in addition to a nifty-looking (and chonky) handheld gaming machine.
