Acer just dropped a serious powerhouse with the new Predator Helios 18P AI. Built to straddle gaming and productivity, this machine screams performance and doesn’t apologise for it. Whether you’re grinding frames or pushing AI models, it’s got the guts to keep up. And yes, it’s heading to the UAE soon.
Built for More Than Just Play
The Helios 18P AI isn’t just a gaming laptop. It’s a mobile workstation with enough raw power to scare most desktops.
- Intel® Core Ultra 9 Processor 285HX with vPro
- Up to 192 GB ECC memory
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU
- Up to 6 TB PCIe Gen 5 SSD storage
This setup means you can code, render, game, and even train AI models without choking the system. ECC memory corrects data errors in real time, which is great if you’re doing mission-critical work. Plus, the 18-inch 4K Mini LED display (3840 x 2400) with 1000 nits HDR and 100% DCI-P3 is perfect for content creators.
Cooling That Keeps Up
Power like this needs serious cooling. Acer delivers.
- Dual 6th Gen AeroBlade metal fans

It’s packed with the latest connectivity and entertainment features.
- Two Thunderbolt 5 ports
- Three USB-A ports
- HDMI 2.1, SD card reader, Wi-Fi 7
