At IFA 2025, Acer introduced the Predator Helios 18P AI, a high-performance laptop built for professionals, creators, and gamers who need desktop-level power in a portable form. Alongside the laptop, the company also launched its new Predator Orion 7000 and Orion 5000 desktop PCs.
The Predator Helios 18P AI (model PH18P-73) is designed for hybrid use, handling both productivity and entertainment. It is powered by up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 Processor 285HX with Intel vPro, which provides enterprise-level stability and hardware-based security. The laptop supports up to 192 GB of ECC RAM, capable of detecting and correcting memory errors, making it useful for AI developers and professionals working with sensitive or large datasets.
For graphics, the system includes up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU with 1824 AI TOPS and DLSS 4. This enables advanced gaming visuals, AI inferencing, and demanding creative tasks like 3D rendering and video production. Storage can be configured with up to 6 TB PCIe Gen 5 SSD for faster access to large projects.

These specifications make it suitable for precise workflows such as animation, video editing, and image work.
Cooling is managed by Acer’s system combining two 6th Gen AeroBlade metal fans with 0.05 mm blades, liquid metal thermal grease, and vector heat pipes. This setup is designed to maintain performance during heavy workloads.
