Reviews for the Acer Predator Helios Neo 18 AI PHN18-72

I kept asking myself this question throughout the testing period. Yes, this is an extremely powerful laptop that handles most modern games with ease. It has everything a gamer could want: a top-tier Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor, a modern NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU, fast memory, and a high-quality display. During gaming, you’ll experience complete stability and comfort – there’s no compromise here. But there’s a flip side. This is a large, heavy laptop that’s hard to call truly portable. Add the roughly 1 kg power adapter, and any dreams of strolling around the city with it quickly vanish. The best place for the Helios Neo 18 AI is on your desk, where it can fully unleash its potential. Price is another point that made me pause.

A new entry into Acer's 'Neo' laptops, the Acer Predator Helios Neo 18 AI is essentially the recently-announced Helios 18 AI, but with some minor design tweaks and a lower entry price. Based on my time with it, it's a strong desktop replacement system that offers plenty of bang for your buck - just don't expect to take it out of the house often, as it's far from portable.
