AI-Ready Gaming Laptop
The Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S is a 2025 gaming laptop built around an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor with 24 cores and a 5.4 GHz boost clock. It pairs that CPU with a GeForce RTX 5060 GPU carrying 8 GB of GDDR7 memory. A 16.0-inch OLED panel delivers a 2560 x 1600 resolution at 240 Hz and covers 100% DCI-P3. The system ships with Windows 11 Pro, 32 GB of DDR5 5600 RAM, and a 2 TB PCIe Gen 4x4 NVMe SSD.
Who Should Buy This
Creators and competitive players who need high refresh OLED colour accuracy and AI-accelerated workflows will benefit from the NPU-equipped Ultra 9 chip and G-SYNC display. Buyers who prefer a lighter chassis, longer unplugged runtime, or a lower price tier should evaluate alternative configurations.
The Deciding Spec
The 240 Hz OLED panel with 100% DCI-P3 coverage is the single specification that determines suitability; it locks in both the visual latency required for competitive gaming and the colour fidelity demanded by content creation.

Questions about this item
How loud and hot does the Core Ultra 9 275HX and RTX 5060 get during all-day loads?
The 24-core Ultra 9 275HX runs at a 2.1 GHz base and 5.4 GHz boost with 40 MB cache, while the RTX 5060 has 8 GB GDDR7; both are cooled by Acer's Predator thermal design inside a 0.79-inch chassis.
What must I already own to use the Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.1 and USB 3.2 ports on day one?
Cables or adapters that match Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.1 and USB 3.2 Type-A or Type-C; the laptop ships with a 230 W lithium-ion power adapter but no video or data cables.
Will my older 60 Hz 1080p monitor work with the HDMI 2.1 and G-SYNC panel?
Yes — HDMI 2.1 is backward compatible and the 240 Hz OLED panel supports G-SYNC variable refresh, so a 60 Hz 1080p display will run at its native rate without extra setup.
