Acer’s latest gaming notebook targets fans of compact gaming laptops who still demand high performance without compromise. The Acer Predator Helios Neo 14 features a Core Ultra 9 185H, a 14.5-inch display in 16:10 format, and Thunderbolt 4.
Acer also introduced the Helios Neo 14, which offers an improved display, faster graphics, and Intel Meteor Lake at a higher price, alongside the AMD Ryzen 8000-based Nitro 14. This Acer AI laptop features a 14.5-inch display in a 16:10 format, delivering a higher 165 Hz frame rate.
The resolution is also higher than the Nitro 14, as the panel can display 3,072 x 1,920 pixels, giving it a pixel density of 250 PPI. The sRGB color space is fully covered, and Nvidia G-Sync prevents image tearing, even at lower frame rates. The top model features an Intel Core Ultra 9 185H with six performance cores up to 5.1 GHz and eight efficiency cores.
The Acer AI laptop’s WQXGA display delivers brilliant colors and sharp pixels, with 100% sRGB color gamut support and NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility. To enhance creativity and functionality on gaming laptops, these models include Microsoft Copilot in Windows with a dedicated key for quick access.
