Acer Predator Helios 16 and Helios 18, one of the world’s first 18-inch gaming laptops, are the stars of the show.

It has a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio and over 1000 nits of peak brightness, with a mini LED display having multiple dimming zones that are individually controlled. Over 1000 dimming zones are available on the 18-inch model.
Additionally, the laptops come with the latest hardware from Intel and Nvidia. In addition to the new Nvidia GeForce RTX 40 series GPUs, they come with an Intel Core i9 processor from the 13th-generation HX series, which has a default TDP of 55W. Further, the laptops come with up to 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 2TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD. Acer’s 5th-generation AeroBlade 3D fans and a liquid metal thermal interface help keep the internal components cool.
