Acer has used CES 2026 to launch updated versions of their gaming laptop series Predator and Nitro, along with a number of additional updates and naturally lots of AI support.
The three main models were:
Predator Helios Neo 16S AI
Acer Nitro V 16 AI
Acer Nitro V 16S AI
Predator Helios Neo 16S AI has up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor 386H and NVIDIA RTX 5070 that supports Nvidia's new DLSS 4.5 upgrade, and is housed inside an 18.9 mm metal chassis made of metal.
The Predator features a 16" 1600p OLED display, 165Hz, 1ms with 100% PCI-D3 coverage.
5th Gen AeroBlade 3D fan system with liquid metal thermal paste handles the cooling, while memory is up to 64 GB DDR5, and up to 2 TB of NVMe storage.
The Nitro series is described as offering "a range of performance and portability options for casual gamers and value-conscious users" and sports up to Intel Core Ultra 7 processor 355 and the same RTX 5070 graphics card, but half the memory but the same storage.
They also announced a slim model with almost the same hardware.
