It looks just like the current Predator Helios 18 laptop, but the new 18P model has a 4K screen and even higher-end graphics.
Acer is refreshing some of its gaming laptops for IFA 2025, with a big new Predator Helios 18P AI at the high end and pair of more affordable Nitro V 16 models.
The Predator Helios 18P will have up to an RTX 5090 GPU and Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX processor, though in any configuration it should come with a 18-inch 4K / 120Hz Mini LED display and two Thunderbolt 5 ports (among many other ports). The 18Pβs availability and North American price is still TBD, but itβs sure to be up there since itβll start at 4,999 euros.
