Reviews for the Acer Predator Helios 18 PH18-72
Acer Predator Helios 18 review: A great gaming laptop with a stunning design
Source: Laptop Mag
Some gamers want the strongest and the largest — and the Acer Predator Helios 18 fulfills that. Its RTX 4080 performance could have been more consistent, but it’s still a reliable high-end GPU with the phenomenal speeds of a 14th-generation Intel i9. Its vivid, bright panel, satisfying keyboard, and sturdy chassis only solidify its greatness. You might be disappointed by its battery life and lackluster audio, but if you use it as a stationery machine and invest in a pair of headphones, that shouldn’t be a problem. If you want a smaller laptop with stronger gaming performance and better battery life, the MSI Vector 16 HX A14VHG is a great alternative. Otherwise, the Helios 18 is fantastic.
