Predator Helios Neo 16S AI Gaming Laptop

This 16 inch OLED laptop pairs an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU. It runs Windows 11 Home and targets gamers and creators who want high refresh rates and AI acceleration in a portable form factor. The 240Hz panel and dedicated graphics suit competitive play and content workloads alike.

24 core Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor

The CPU delivers 24 cores with a 2.1 GHz base clock and 5.4 GHz boost clock. An integrated NPU provides 13 trillion operations per second for AI tasks. This core count and clock range decide whether the system handles heavy multi threaded loads and real time inference without throttling.

32GB DDR5 6400MHz memory and 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD

Dual channel 32GB DDR5 at 6400MHz feeds the CPU and GPU with high bandwidth for 1440p gaming and video editing. The 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD offers fast load times for large titles and project files. Memory expands to 64GB across two slots when workloads outgrow the factory configuration.
