In search of a new gaming laptop that won’t bankrupt you? The Acer Predator Helios Neo 18 AI Gaming Laptop is now $2,199.99 (originally $2,799.99), its lowest price ever, according to price trackers. It’s powered by an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU, and has a gaming refresh rate of 240Hz. That ultra-fast refresh rate creates scenes that feel realistic without any lag to disrupt your concentration or your gameplay.

With its 18-inch LCD screen, 2560 × 1600 resolution, 32 GB of RAM, and 2 TB of storage, it’s big and powerful without sacrificing portability — it weighs in at 7.28 pounds and measures 15.79 x 12.12 inches. The 500-nit display performs well even in sunny spaces. For connectivity, this gaming laptop includes USB-A, USB-C (including Thunderbolt 4), Ethernet, HDMI 2.1, and Intel Killer Wi-Fi 6E to keep your competition on its toes.

There’s a Kensington Lock Slot to prevent theft and a headset jack for privacy. Its thermal solution, including a 5th Gen AeroBlade 3D Metal Fan, keeps the laptop at a comfortable temperature even under heavy use so performance stays consistent. The 90 watt-hour battery delivers roughly five hours of use on a full charge, making this a capable and well-rounded option for serious gamers who want high-end specs without paying top dollar.
