18-inch WQXGA gaming laptop

The Acer Predator Helios Neo 18 AI is an 18-inch gaming laptop built around an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor with 24 cores and a 5.4 GHz turbo frequency. It pairs that CPU with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics card carrying 8 GB of GDDR7 video memory. The system includes 32 GB of DDR5 memory at 4800 MT/s and a 512 GB PCIe SSD. It ships with Windows 11 Home.

240 Hz WQXGA display

The 18.0-inch panel delivers a 2560 x 1600 resolution at a 240 Hz refresh rate. This combination decides whether the laptop suits competitive play or content review that demands both detail and motion clarity. The non-touch screen covers the WQXGA format without HDR or colour-gamut claims in the supplied data.

Sustained load on 24-core CPU and RTX 5070 Ti

The 24-core processor (8 performance + 16 efficient cores) and the RTX 5070 Ti share a chassis measuring 15.79 x 12.12 x 1.1 inches and weighing 7.3 pounds. Under prolonged gaming or rendering sessions the cooling solution must dissipate heat from both the 5.4 GHz CPU and the GDDR7-equipped GPU without throttling either component below its base performance envelope.

Questions about this item

How does the 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX with a 5.4 GHz turbo behave in everyday gaming and multitasking?

The processor runs eight performance cores and sixteen efficient cores, reaching 5.4 GHz on boost, so demanding games and background tasks share the 24 threads without queueing.

What display outputs can the USB-C ports with DisplayPort 2.1 and the HDMI 2.1 actually drive?

One USB-C and the HDMI 2.1 each support up to 8K at 60 Hz, while the second USB-C adds 65–100 W power delivery alongside the same video bandwidth.

Will the 15.79 x 12.12 x 1.1 inch chassis fit in a standard 18-inch laptop sleeve?

The dimensions match typical 18-inch sleeve interiors, but the 7.3-pound weight means a reinforced bottom panel is advisable.
