Before ordering, gamers should check out our in-depth written review and review video on the Acer Predator Helios 18, which highlights all the strengths and weaknesses of this powerful notebook. While the Core i9 and RTX 4090 pair undoubtedly provides a lot of performance, the Mini-LED screen also impressed us with is fantastic picture quality and high HDR brightness of over 700 nits.

On the other hand, the Acer Predator Helios 18 has very short battery life and could've used some optimization in terms of its fan curve. Furthermore, we criticized the seal which results in the loss of warranty when the Core i9 gaming laptop is opened. Nonetheless, the RTX 4090 version of the Predator Helios 18 is still a solid overall choice for demanding users who are looking for a well-performing desktop replacement.
