Acer's ultra-portable Predator Triton 14 AI gaming laptop could be the coolest thing at Computex
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Intel's Core Ultra 200V Lunar Lake chipsets were announced last year for ultrathin and light systems. They are intended for use mostly in AI PCs and the MSI Claw 8 AI+ handheld. These mobile processors weren't expected ever to hit the mainstream gaming laptop market, and Laptop Mag was almost certain you couldn't connect a discrete GPU to the chip. But as they say, life finds a way. Acer has managed to connect a discrete Nvidia RTX 50-series gaming GPU to Intel's Lunar Lake to create the Triton 14 AI ultra-portable gaming laptop. The ultra-slim, ultra-light Triton 14 AI is intended for gaming and content creation, and based on Laptop Mag's recent hands-on demo, it just might be the coolest thing announced for Computex in Taipei next week. But other than an interesting chip combo, what makes the Triton 14 AI so unique? Price: €2,999 starting CPU: Up to Intel Core Ultra 9 288V GPU: Up to Nvidia RTX 5070 Memory: Up to 32GB Storage: Up to 2TB Display: 14.5-inch, 2880 x 1800, 120Hz OLED Battery: TBD Size: 0.68 inches thick Weight: 3.52 pounds The Triton 14 AI is a slim laptop, measuring just 0.68 inches thick. While not the thinnest laptop we've ever seen with a discrete GPU under the hood, it is incredibly slim for a 14-inch laptop. And at just 3.52 pounds, it'll fit in just about any backpack or laptop bag you own, making it super portable. Acer managed to slim down the Triton 14 to just 0.68 inches thanks to a combination of ultra-thin sixth-gen AeroBlade fans, a graphene thermal interface, and a new vapor chamber to keep the Triton slim and cool under pressure. Acer has opted for a fun, steel blue colorway on the Triton 14 AI, which sets it apart from the other black and silver gaming laptops on the market. The Triton 14 AI has an anti-fingerprint coating to keep it looking sleek even after hours of use. Acer has packed a 76Whr battery in the Triton 14 AI. Because Intel's Core Ultra 200V Lunar Lake chips are super power efficient, the Triton should have good battery life when surfing the web or even when gaming. While we expect battery life to take a bit of a hit due to the discrete Nvidia GPU and OLED display panel, the Triton 14 AI could easily last for 8+ hours of web surfing on battery thanks to its ultra-efficient CPU. We have already seen the benefits of an AI PC chip powering a gaming laptop this year, thanks to the Razer Blade 16 (2025). As the Triton 14 AI is a similar combo, just with an Intel CPU instead, it could end up nipping the Asus TUF Gaming A14 off our list as the gaming laptop with the best battery life. Acer has outfitted the Triton 14 AI with a 14.5-inch, 2880 x 1800, 120Hz OLED panel rated for 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut and sporting Calman verification. From what we've seen so far, this display looks great and has the potential to be a great tool for content creators. We saw a similar display on the Acer Swift X 14 (2024) last year. While our lab testing couldn't verify the 100% DCI-P3 rating, the display looked crisp and gorgeous in our hands-on testing. If Acer is using the same display or a similar OLED panel on the Triton 14 AI, it's guaranteed to be a great option for content creators or for gamers who really want an immersive, cinematic gaming experience. Intel's Lunar Lake platform is not the beefiest Intel CPU out there, that would have to go to the Core Ultra 200HX Arrow Lake chipset. However, Lunar Lake is certainly powerful enough to handle web browsing, spreadsheet management, video calls, and some light Photoshop work without breaking a sweat. The Lunar Lake integrated GPU is also pretty good for gaming in 1080p at Medium settings. Combined with a discrete Nvidia RTX 50-series GPU, and it should get even better graphics power for a smoother gaming experience. While we haven't reviewed an RTX 5070 laptop just yet, if it's anything like the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 laptops, it'll have some decent silicon power and all the advantages of Nvidia's new DLSS 4 technology to provide smooth, high framerates in even the most demanding games. Acer will launch the Triton 14 AI in July in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, with a starting price of €2,999. Due to constantly shifting US foreign tariffs, Acer has not yet published pricing or release dates for North America. But, when the Triton 14 AI becomes available in the US, you can bet we'll be angling to get it into our labs and put this Lunar Lake/Nvidia hybrid to the test. Computex showdown: Nvidia & MediaTek tipped to steal Windows-on-Arm spotlight Play 'FBC: Firebreak' first, if your laptop can handle a return to Control's Oldest House What links GTA 6, Cyberpunk 2077, and Baldur's Gate 3? They could all be at risk of being banned.

Acer's New Predator Laptops and Desktops Have RTX 5070 GPUs
Acer has revealed three powerful new gaming PCs: the Predator Triton 14 AI and Predator Helios Neo 14 AI gaming laptops, as well as the Predator Orion 3000 gaming desktop. They look like excellent options for anyone interested in a gaming PC, but pricing and availability information isn't public yet. The Predator Triton 14 AI is a 14.5-inch laptop that weighs only 1.6 kg and is just 17.31 mm thick, with a sleek aluminum body that doesn't easily get fingerprints. Inside, it has an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor 288V, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU with DLSS 4, up to 32 GB of DDR5 memory, and up to 2 TB of fast PCIe Gen 4 NVMe storage. The screen is a Calman Verified OLED WQXGA+ (2880 x 1800) display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, and 100% DCI-P3 color coverage, making it great for detailed visual work. The screen also supports touch input. The Triton 14 AI has a large, buttonless haptic touchpad made of Corning Gorilla Glass that works with a stylus. It has 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity and tilt recognition. Cooling is handled by Acer's 6th Gen AeroBlade 3D metal fans and a vapor chamber, along with a new graphene thermal material on the CPU that improves heat dissipation by 14.5% compared to standard thermal paste. Other features include a per-key RGB keyboard, Intel Killer Wi-Fi 7, Thunderbolt 4, and Human Presence Detection (HPD) with an AI Vision Sensor for better security and convenience. The Predator Helios Neo 14 AI is another 14.5-inch laptop, but it is more focused on gaming than the Triton 14 AI. While it is similar in size and portability, it has some noticeable differences. The Helios Neo 14 AI can be equipped with up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor 285H and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU with DLSS 4, which matches its sibling in graphics power. It supports up to 32 GB of fast LPDDR5X memory and up to 2 TB of PCIe Gen 4 SSD storage. For the display, users can choose between a 2.8K OLED WQXGA+ (2880 x 1800) screen with a 0.2ms response time or a 165Hz WQXGA (2560x1600) IPS panel. Cooling is managed by Acer's 5th Gen AeroBlade technology, liquid metal thermal paste on the CPU, a Vector Heat pipe, and the Vortex Flow system. Unlike the Triton, it does not have advanced stylus support but includes a customizable RGB logo and a three-zone RGB keyboard. For connectivity, it has Intel Killer Wi-Fi 6E and Thunderbolt 4. If you were comparing the two, the Triton 14 AI seems to balance performance and creative features better because it comes with an OLED display, stylus support, and precision input options, making it better for creative work. On the other hand, the Helios Neo 14 AI is more gaming-focused, with a faster display option and features that improve the gaming experience. Both laptops are highly portable, but the Triton 14 AI is slightly thinner and lighter. Alongside the laptops, Acer is offering the Predator Orion 3000 gaming desktop, which is a 28-liter PC that includes an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor 265F and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 GPU. It has up to 32 GB of DDR5 RAM and plenty of storage options, including up to 2 TB of NVMe SSD and 2 TB HDD space. The desktop has an EMI-compliant case with tempered glass side panels and mesh lining for better airflow, supported by 120mm fans at the front and back. Source: Acer
