Design and Display

The Acer Predator Helios 18 is a huge gaming laptop. Even for an 18-inch device, the Helios 18 is no lightweight. Be prepared for a laptop weighing well over 3kg in mass, taking up a reasonable amount of space, and having a multi-colored Predator logo on the lid, matched by an RGB strip at the bottom. Out back, there are a pair of Thunderbolt 4 ports alongside an HDMI port and a power jack, while another Type-A port joins an SD card slot and Ethernet port spaced out along the side. Its display is probably the Helios 18's best feature: a mini-LED panel with an optional 250Hz refresh rate and up to 1,000 nits of brightness. It comes with a WQXGA resolution and a 16:10 aspect ratio that offers great color accuracy with 100% DCI-P3 coverage, making it really good for creative work.
