Acer has supercharged India’s gaming laptop market with the launch of two groundbreaking additions to its Predator lineup — the Predator Helios Neo 16 AI and Predator Helios Neo 16S AI. Blending uncompromised performance with futuristic AI capabilities, these new models are poised to redefine portable gaming, creative productivity, and AI-powered computing for enthusiasts and professionals alike.
With prices starting at ₹1,54,999 for the Helios Neo 16S AI and ₹2,29,999 for the Helios Neo 16 AI, the laptops are available across Acer Exclusive Stores, Acer E-store, Amazon, Flipkart, Croma, Reliance Digital, and Vijay Sales.
Positioned at the intersection of power and portability, the Predator Helios Neo 16 AI is engineered for desktop-class performance, while the Helios Neo 16S AI emerges as the slimmest Predator ever — under 18.9mm — targeting users who demand both mobility and muscle.
Both laptops are equipped with Intel Core Ultra 9 processors and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPUs, unlocking elite gaming and multitasking performance. They integrate AI-optimized computing through onboard NPUs, offloading tasks like image generation, audio enhancements, and video blurring to ensure seamless gameplay, content creation, and livestreaming. NVIDIA’s DLSS 4, 4th Gen Ray Tracing, and Reflex 2 technologies further elevate responsiveness and graphical fidelity.
The Helios Neo 16 AI features a 16-inch WQXGA IPS display with a blistering 240Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, and 100% DCI-P3 color accuracy. Meanwhile, the Helios Neo 16S AI impresses with a WQXGA OLED screen that brings cinematic blacks and ultra-vivid visuals, all packed into a high screen-to-body ratio chassis for maximum immersion.
Designed to support up to 64 GB DDR5 RAM and 2TB PCIe Gen4 SSD storage, both models cater to intensive workloads and heavy-duty gaming sessions. Acer’s 5th Gen AeroBlade™ 3D cooling system, combined with liquid metal thermal grease and vector heat pipes, keeps temperatures in check even during peak performance.
Gamers can personalize their experience through PredatorSense, Acer’s intuitive control hub, which now includes a dedicated Copilot AI key. Users can tweak RGB lighting, monitor system performance, manage AI features, and even overclock hardware with ease.
Commenting on the launch, Sudhir Goel, Chief Business Officer at Acer India, said, “With the Predator Helios Neo 16 AI and 16S AI, we are redefining what it means to be mobile and powerful. This is more than just performance — it’s a vision of where gaming and AI computing converge. As India embraces AI-led productivity and digital lifestyles, this launch represents our commitment to enabling that future with innovation at its core.”
Connectivity remains a strong focus, with both laptops offering Thunderbolt™ 4, HDMI 2.1, Wi-Fi 6E, Ethernet, and USB Type-C, ensuring smooth peripheral integration and high-speed networking.
Whether users are looking for raw, desktop-level power or a sleek, AI-ready gaming companion on the go, Acer’s new Predator Helios Neo lineup delivers a powerful statement: the future of gaming is here — and it’s intelligent.
