[ACER IFA Berlin 2025] Acer Predator Helio 18P AI announced

During our coverage here at NEXT@Acer in IFA Berlin 2025, Acer formally unveils the Predator Helios 18P AI, a hybrid gaming laptop with the latest and most powerful hardware.

At the heart of this powerhouse is Intel’s new Core Ultra 9 Processor 285HX with vPro, paired with up to 192GB of ECC memory—a monster setup rarely seen outside servers, let alone laptops. For graphics, Acer does not hold back: an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU with DLSS 4 powers up real-time ray tracing, AI content creation, and gaming marathons at max settings.

Storage is equally insane, tipping the scales at up to 6TB of PCIe Gen 5 SSD. Connectivity covers Thunderbolt 5, Wi-Fi 7, and Killer Ethernet. Acer’s own thermal solution—dual AeroBlade metal fans (the world’s thinnest, at just 0.05mm), liquid metal grease, and vector heat pipes promise stable performance even under heavy loads.

The Predator Helio 18P AI comes with 18-inch Mini LED 4K display with HDR and 100% DCI-P3 coverage—ideal for photo and video editors who expect color accuracy and brightness to match their needs. Weighing in at 3.5kg, the Helios 18P AI isn’t the lightest, but for those looking for a true desktop replacement that can crunch AI workloads, game, and create anywhere, this is the rig to beat in 2025.

No word from Acer PH reps if when will this device will be released in the Philippines and for how much. We’ll update this story once we get more details.
