With 24 cores at its command and speeds up to 5.4GHz, this chip doesn’t just process like a cashier ringing up your groceries, it orchestrates like Mozart, directing every mission, creation and AI task with flawless precision. A base clock speed of 2.70GHz that can be overclocked to 5.40GHz equips you with raw power for heavy workloads and rapid response in games.
Each of us use our laptops in different ways, so whether you’re gaming and streaming simultaneously or rendering while multitasking, the 24 core Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX offers 24 cores of hybrid muscle for lighting-fast AI-infused tasks like image generation and video edits, as well as consistent frame pacing in the latest, most demanding AAA titles.
Redefine with RTX
The Helios Neo 18 comes equipped with a remarkable laptop GPU, Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5070Ti with 12 GB dedicated memory. This graphics card is your ticket into the AI-infused future of gaming and creativity where ultra efficient productivity and blisteringly fast gaming go hand in hand.
In case you’re unfamiliar with RTX, there are several standout AI features of the RTX 5070 Ti that all gamers and creators need to know about.
Firstly, DLSS 3.5 harnesses the ever-expanding powers of AI to whip up top quality extra frames, meaning smoother gameplay without sacrificing visuals. Next is Ray tracing, a technology that replicates the behavior of real world light and shadow, bringing unimaginable levels of realism to your gaming universe. Finally, as we forge further into the era of AI, make the most of AI-enhanced creativity: there are now over 100 AI enabled and RTX-accelerated creative apps from DaVinci Resolve, to OBS Studio, the Adobe Creative Cloud suite, and Blender. Equip yourself with RTX and expect quicker rendering, faster previews, and smoother editing timelines with RTX-acceleration.
Immersive screenscape
Before you make the mistake of thinking that screenscape is a typo, rest assured: it is not. The Helios Neo 18 possesses a room-defining 18-inch WQXGA IPS display with 2560 × 1600 resolution. The 16:10 aspect ratio gives you an extra bite of extra vertical space for more HUD space in games, and it’s also better for editing timelines. Matte ComfyView cuts out the glare when you’re in the midst of a marathon session, while 240Hz refresh rate helps you avoid getting smoked by the competition in your favorite FPS titles.
100% DCI-P3 is the certification that all creators demand, meaning accurate vibrant colors that you can trust. Nvidia G-Sync and Advanced Optimus are guaranteed to keep your frames as flawless as they were intended to be, and as tear free as they should be. This is a screenscape where fast-paced games always feel hyper-responsive, while movies and shows look cinematic thanks to the high refresh rate and wickedly wide gamut.
Portability and power to stay cool
The Helios Neo 18 AI has a lithium-ion battery that can give you a short burst of extremely powerful computing while you’re on-the-go or on your couch, but is primarily designed as a powerhouse laptop that’s ready to give desktops a run for their money.
Let’s not forget the importance of keeping cool, in all climates and situations. 5th Gen AeroBlade™ 3D fans, vector heat pipes, and a generous dollop of liquid metal thermal grease keep the Helios Neo 18’s CPU and GPU running smoothly at peak without the fear of throttling. And what’s more, you have the keys to control the fans through the PredatorSense utility app. Personalize your fan settings, choosing performance or silence, or somewhere in between, and set the mood with the 4-zone RGB keyboard, making your Helios Neo 18 truly unique.
Dare to dream
Hopefully by now you’ve realized that the Helios Neo 18 AI is a gaming monster that has a winning combination of raw power, tempered with creative flexibility and optimized all over with the burgeoning powers of AI. Get amongst it and soar further than before, dare to dream with the twin cooled AI engines, Intel Core Ultra 9 + RTX 5070 Ti. The Helios Neo 18 AI isn’t merely a laptop built for today, it’s a battleship with its guns primed for the oncoming wave of AI and gaming breakthroughs. If you’re brave enough to get onboard, then seek out Acer’s Helios Neo 18 AI today.
