Product details

The Acer Predator Helios 18 PH18-71-93CJ is a powerful gaming notebook with an eye-catching Predator design. A low weight and the compact plastic case make it easy to transport. The high-performanceIntel Core i9-13900HX and the NVIDIA graphics card enable smooth gaming with medium to high graphics presets and also accelerate graphics and video editing software. The 18-inch gaming display with IPS panel offers short response times, making gaming in WQXGA at 240 Hz a pleasure. In addition, there is a generous number of connections and a powerful battery. Thanks to the built-in Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 graphics card with 12 GB GDDR6 memory, the Acer Predator Helios 18 is powered by a powerful pixel accelerator. Alternatively, the Optimus driver can be used to switch to the graphics chip integrated in the CPU, for example to extend the battery life.

To display the graphics splendour appropriately, the Acer Predator Helios 18 has an almost frameless 18-inch panel with sharp WQXGA resolution (2,560 x 1,600 pixels) and high-contrast IPS technology. Additional external displays can be connected via HDMI 2.1 or DisplayPort via USB-C. In addition, there are 32 GB of DDR5 working memory in two memory bars with 16 GB each. They occupy the two available slots, which can be filled with a maximum of 32 GB of RAM. In addition, a very fast 2 TB M.2 NVMe SSD is used. Two Thunderbolt 4 type C slots and two USB 3.1 type A ports as well as a USB 3.0 type A port provide connectivity. Connection to the network is via WLAN according to 802.11ax with 2x2 MIMO and 2.5 Gigabit LAN. Windows 11 Home 64-bit is pre-installed as the operating system. The appropriate sound is provided by two 2-watt speakers that deliver a rich audio experience.
