Acer has revealed three powerful new gaming PCs: the Predator Triton 14 AI and Predator Helios Neo 14 AI gaming laptops, as well as the Predator Orion 3000 gaming desktop. They look like excellent options for anyone interested in a gaming PC, but pricing and availability information isn’t public yet.
The Predator Triton 14 AI is a 14.5-inch laptop that weighs only 1.6 kg and is just 17.31 mm thick, with a sleek aluminum body that doesn’t easily get fingerprints. Inside, it has an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor 288V, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU with DLSS 4, up to 32 GB of DDR5 memory, and up to 2 TB of fast PCIe Gen 4 NVMe storage.
The screen is a Calman Verified OLED WQXGA+ (2880 x 1800) display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, and 100% DCI-P3 color coverage, making it great for detailed visual work. The screen also supports touch input. The Triton 14 AI has a large, buttonless haptic touchpad made of Corning Gorilla Glass that works with a stylus. It has 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity and tilt recognition.
Cooling is handled by Acer’s 6th Gen AeroBlade 3D metal fans and a vapor chamber, along with a new graphene thermal material on the CPU that improves heat dissipation by 14.5% compared to standard thermal paste. Other features include a per-key RGB keyboard, Intel Killer Wi-Fi 7, Thunderbolt 4, and Human Presence Detection (HPD) with an AI Vision Sensor for better security and convenience.
The Predator Helios Neo 14 AI is another 14.5-inch laptop, but it is more focused on gaming than the Triton 14 AI. While it is similar in size and portability, it has some noticeable differences. The Helios Neo 14 AI can be equipped with up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor 285H and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU with DLSS 4, which matches its sibling in graphics power. It supports up to 32 GB of fast LPDDR5X memory and up to 2 TB of PCIe Gen 4 SSD storage.
For the display, users can choose between a 2.8K OLED WQXGA+ (2880 x 1800) screen with a 0.2ms response time or a 165Hz WQXGA (2560×1600) IPS panel. Cooling is managed by Acer’s 5th Gen AeroBlade technology, liquid metal thermal paste on the CPU, a Vector Heat pipe, and the Vortex Flow system. Unlike the Triton, it does not have advanced stylus support but includes a customizable RGB logo and a three-zone RGB keyboard. For connectivity, it has Intel Killer Wi-Fi 6E and Thunderbolt 4.
If you were comparing the two, the Triton 14 AI seems to balance performance and creative features better because it comes with an OLED display, stylus support, and precision input options, making it better for creative work. On the other hand, the Helios Neo 14 AI is more gaming-focused, with a faster display option and features that improve the gaming experience. Both laptops are highly portable, but the Triton 14 AI is slightly thinner and lighter.
Alongside the laptops, Acer is offering the Predator Orion 3000 gaming desktop, which is a 28-liter PC that includes an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor 265F and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 GPU. It has up to 32 GB of DDR5 RAM and plenty of storage options, including up to 2 TB of NVMe SSD and 2 TB HDD space. The desktop has an EMI-compliant case with tempered glass side panels and mesh lining for better airflow, supported by 120mm fans at the front and back.
