18" WQXGA 240Hz Display

The Acer Predator Helios Neo 18 AI is an 18.0 inch gaming laptop built around an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX 24-core processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU with 8 GB GDDR7 memory. It runs Windows 11 Home on 32 GB of DDR5 4800 RAM and a 1 TB PCIe SSD. The 2560 x 1600 non-touch screen refreshes at 240 Hz for fluid motion in fast-paced titles.

Who This Suits

Competitive players and content creators who want a large, high-refresh panel and a 24-thread CPU for streaming or rendering will benefit from the 5.4 GHz turbo frequency and 36 MB cache. Buyers needing a lighter chassis than 7.3 pounds, a built-in card reader, or a fingerprint reader should consider other models.

RTX 5070 Ti 8 GB GDDR7 Graphics

The single specification that decides fit is the laptop GPU with 8 GB of GDDR7 video memory. It determines which modern titles run at high settings on the 18 inch 240 Hz panel and whether the system meets a specific workflow's VRAM requirement.

Questions about this item

Will my existing USB-A peripherals work with the two standard USB-A ports and the always-on USB-A port on this laptop?

Yes, the laptop provides two standard USB-A ports and one always-on USB-A port so your current USB-A devices will connect directly without adapters.

How can I confirm the 18-inch WQXGA panel is running at its native 2560 x 1600 resolution and 240 Hz refresh rate after setup?

Open Windows Display Settings and verify the resolution shows 2560 x 1600 and the refresh-rate dropdown lists 240 Hz; the PredatorSense utility also reports the active panel timing.

Does the box include an SD card reader or do I need to buy a separate USB-C adapter for my camera cards?

The laptop does not have a built-in multi-format SD card reader, so you will need a separate USB-C or USB-A card reader to transfer files from camera cards.
