Acer Predator Helios 18 PH18-71

A family of extremely powerful large-format gaming laptops with 18-inch screens. These belong to a top-tier level, created for gaming enthusiasts, e-sports players, and demanding users seeking a high-performance gaming station capable of competing with stationary gaming systems. As is customary in the Predator Helios series, Acer engineers spare no expense, using only the most advanced, powerful, and modern components such as Intel Raptor Lake hybrid chips, DDR5 memory, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics cards from the Ada Lovelace series.

It is important to note that the Acer Predator Helios 18 PH18-71 line stands out with a wide variety of hardware configurations. They can be roughly divided into 3 groups: powerful gaming laptops (Core i7 + GeForce RTX 4060), very powerful machines (Core i7 + RTX 4070), and godlike laptops (Core i9 + RTX 4080). The basic version usually features 16 GB of next-generation DDR5 RAM.

In the top modifications, the RAM volume reaches 32 GB, while the operating frequency remains at the same level - 5600 MHz. In principle, all 3 modifications provide more than adequate performance in modern games and can claim to replace the classic gaming desktop, delivering the classic 60 FPS in games like Elden Ring, RDR2, and Cyberpunk 2077. Especially if you're not too eager to max out ray tracing settings and actively use the DLSS 3.0 supersampling technology, which works much more effectively than the second version.

Such serious computational power can also be a significant asset in solving resource-intensive professional tasks related to the creation and processing of digital content. This is cooled by a proprietary cooling system with fifth-generation AeroBlade fans, vector heat pipes, and liquid metal thermal paste. Worthy of separate mention is the keyboard with individual key backlighting, the Killer E2600 gaming network controller, stereo speakers with DTS X Ultra, and a modern set of connectivity ports, including USB 4 and HDMI 2.1. The display output in all laptop modifications is managed by a high-quality 18-inch IPS display with an increased refresh rate of 165 Hz, a resolution of 2560x1600 pixels, fast response time (3 ms), and natural color reproduction.
