The new Acer Predator laptops are a new example of how the idea that laptops are not for gaming has long since ceased to make sense. Today we find systems like these new Predators switch to the latest generation of Intel processors and NVIDIA graphics adaptersto provide the level of performance expected by the most demanding players, with the advantage that you can carry them under your arm and use them anywhere, anytime.

Specifically, these are the four models that Acer presents today: the absolute top of the range Predator Triton 17Xthe most powerful yet the most affordable Predator Helios Neo 16small but powerful Predator Triton 14 and Predator Helios 3D SpatialLabs Edition, with which Acer renews its commitment to this amazing and interesting technology that allows you to enjoy 3D content without having to use glasses for this purpose. So let’s see what each of them has to offer.

Acer Predator Triton 17X

We start with the absolute top of the range, for which the company itself qualifies Acer’s most powerful gaming laptop yet, a device that hides state-of-the-art components under a chassis with a brilliantly elegant and minimalist design (something that allows it to be used in all possible contexts). This combination makes it more than an interesting option for gamers, but also for other user profiles who need a high-performance system and great autonomy that facilitates their mobility.

Let’s get down to business, the new Acer Predator Triton 17 X can be equipped processors up to Intel Core i9-13900HX, the most powerful 13th generation Intel Core chip for laptops, with 24 cores and 32 threads, 36 megabytes of L3 cache and a maximum frequency of 5.4 GHz. And the level does not drop when we talk about its graphic part, because inside we find up to GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile, the top of the line of the latest generation from NVIDIA, which has been tested to be able to outperform the top desktop GPU of the previous generation. This set is supplemented with up to 64 GB of DDR5-5600 RAM And until four terabytes of PCIe SSD storage. As you can imagine, such a selection has an advanced thermal management system, so it is possible to get the most out of all components.

When it comes to your screen, we’re facing a brand new one 17-inch MiniLED panel with a resolution of 2,560 x 1,600 pixels in an aspect ratio of 16:10, capable of a refresh rate of 250 hertz, a brightness exceeding 1,000 nits and a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1. So we are talking about the certification screen VESA HDR 1000 display and this achieves 100% color space representation DCI-P3. As you’ve probably already guessed, a screen with these features, added to the advanced features of this Acer Predator Triton 17 X, makes it a really interesting option for content creators and imaging professionals alike.

You may be wondering about its autonomy at this point, as a system of these features is supposed to be quite demanding on electricity consumption. However, according to the manufacturer, it will be possible to enjoy it up to 24 hours of autonomy for certain uses.

The new Acer Predator Triton 17 X will be available in Spain from June, of €4,999. You can find more information on their website.

Acer Predator Helios Neo 16

We continue the segment high performancebut now with a more refined economic proposal, and are therefore within the reach of a larger number of users, who, however, have the necessary elements to satisfy the needs of many users, for whom benefits are a key element. In addition, we find some surprising and fun details in the design of this device, such as encrypted codes laser-engraved on its anodized cover. So the first game will be to try to find out the message that is hidden in them.

For this model, Acer will offer configurations with up to Intel Core i7-13700HXin conjunction with graphs hUp to GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile, a combination of the latest generation components for the high-end, with which the performance will be more than enough to enjoy even the latest triple-A release, and to perform other equally demanding tasks. The set is completed up to 32 GB of DDR5-4800 RAM And until two terabytes of PCIe Gen 4 SSD storage.

An interesting aspect of the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 is that they will come with them various options related to your screen 16 inches. So we can opt for an IPS screen with WQXGA resolution (2,560 x 1,600 pixels in an aspect ratio of 16:10) with a refresh rate of 165 hertz and a response time of 3 milliseconds, and a screen with WUXGA resolution (1,920 x 1,200 pixels with an aspect ratio of 16 :10), also with a refresh rate of 165 Hz and capable of representing 100% of the sRGB color space, making it a very interesting option for content creators and video professionals.

The new Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 will be available in Spain from Mayof €2,199. You can find more information on their website.

Acer Predator Triton 14

In terms of size, the smallest of the new Predators has nothing to envy the larger models also bets on high-end components of the latest generations, to provide a very portable device with an attractive silver design and some colorful touches that recall its gaming spirit, something that is reinforced by reviewing its technical specifications and therefore deriving its performance.

Acer offers processors to power these Triton 14s up to Intel Core i7-13700H in combination with graphics adapters up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobilewhich are supplemented by up to 32 GB DDR5-6000 RAM and PCIe SSD storage. In order for these components to offer their maximum performance, of course we find an advanced thermal management system combined with a more than remarkable engineering work in terms of the arrangement of all the components inside the device.

For its 14-inch screen, Acer again offers different dashboard options. MiniLED panel with WQXGA resolution (2,560 x 1,600 pixels in 16:10 aspect ratio), refresh rate up to 250 Hz, DisplayHDR 600 certification and 100% DCI-P3 space, and two other IPS panels with 165 Hz refresh rate, one with resolution WQXGA and 100% DCI-P3 color space and the other with WUXGA resolution and representation of 100% sRGB color space.

The new Acer Predator Triton 14 will be available in Spain from Mayof €2,399. You can find more information on their website.

Acer Predator Helios 3D 15 SpatialLabs Edition

Acer Predator Helios 3D 15 SpatialLabs Edition

We finish the review of the new Acer Predators with a team that does not leave us indifferent, as it happened to us back then with the Acer Predator Helios 300 SpatialLabs Edition. As in this, the differentiating factor is marked by SpatialLabs TrueGame technology, which makes the screen is able to display a three-dimensional image using stereoscopic technology, making it unnecessary to use special glasses to enjoy this type of image. Now, this is undoubtedly not the only noteworthy point of this laptop, as you will see when you check its technical specifications.

In the center of the Predator Helios 3D we find the processors up to Intel Core i9-13900HX and graphics up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 MobileSo we are again talking about a top range based on these two key components. And to make the kit complete the task, we can equip it up to 32 gigabytes of DDR5-5600 memory and up to two terabytes of PCIe Gen 4 SSD storage. Once again, and how could it be otherwise, we also face advanced thermal management that will allow us to get 100% of all these components.

As for the 15.6-inch display and the technologies associated with it, the Acer Predator Helios 3D 15 combines solutions witheye tracking by SpatialLabs, stereoscopic 3D display and real-time scene rendering technologies that provide a high-quality experience of 3D content without rendering it affecting the performance of the system and therefore the gaming or applications that we use all the time. In addition, the notebook offers various 3D game modes with support for 3D+ and 3D Ultra settings for more than 70 titles, with more being added all the time.

The new Acer Predator Helios 3D SpatialLabs will be available in Spain from Juneof €3,999. You can find more information on their website.
