Acer Predator Helios 18P AI: The Ultimate Hybrid Gaming Powerhouse Hits SEA
Hybrid Gaming Meets Workstation-Level Power
A New Benchmark in Portable Performance
At IFA 2025, Acer introduced the Predator Helios 18P AI—a high-performance laptop that transcends the gaming-only category. Built for both demanding work and immersive play across Southeast Asia, it combines cutting-edge hardware with real-world versatility.
Desktop-Class Processing & Data Integrity
At its heart lies the Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX, equipped with Intel vPro technology for enhanced security and enterprise-grade manageability. Supporting up to an extraordinary 192 GB of ECC memory, the Helios 18P AI ensures data integrity by detecting and correcting memory errors—making it ideal for creators, developers, and anyone who values reliability.
Top-Tier Graphics and AI Acceleration
Graphics come courtesy of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 laptop GPU, complete with DLSS 4 and 1,824 AI TOPS for stunning visuals and AI-accelerated workflows.
Massive Storage & Next-Gen Connectivity
Storage peaks at 6 TB of PCIe Gen 5 SSD, offering blazing read/write speeds and massive capacity. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, Thunderbolt 5, multiple USB-A ports, HDMI 2.1, and even an SD card reader for full flexibility.
Spectacular Display and Cooling System
Visuals shine on an 18-inch Mini-LED 4K (WQUXGA) display with HDR up to 1,000 nits, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and full DCI-P3 color gamut—ideal for editing, rendering, and immersive gaming. To tame the heat, Acer uses dual 6th-gen AeroBlade metal fans, ultra-thin blades, liquid metal thermal compound, and smart heat pipes.
Who Is It For?
This powerhouse isn’t just for gamers. It’s tailored for AI developers, content creators, and professionals requiring laptop portability with workstation-level specs.
