At CES 2026, Acer used the occasion to introduce the Predator Helios Neo 16S AI (PHN16S-I51), a thin, powerful laptop that can handle demanding workloads for both creative and gaming tasks. With an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 laptop GPU and an Intel Core Ultra 9 386H processor, it has the processing and graphics power needed for contemporary games, content production software, and AI-accelerated tasks. These parts are incorporated into a thin metal chassis measuring 18.9 mm, which strikes a balance between durability and performance.
The laptop’s 16-inch WQXGA OLED screen provides true HDR imaging support, vivid color reproduction, and high contrast. Because the OLED panel produces crisp pixel clarity, it can be used for professional creative tasks like digital design, video production, and photo editing as well as for gaming. The resolution and color accuracy of the display enable fine-grained images and consistent image quality for various use cases.
With up to 64 GB of DDR5 memory supported at 6400 MT/s, the Predator Helios Neo 16S AI offers ample system memory and storage to support effective multitasking and seamless operation even under demanding workloads. Fast application launches, quick boot times, and shorter game and productivity software load times are all made possible by storage options like up to 2 TB of PCIe SSD.
High-speed networking and peripheral expansion are supported by the connectivity options. The system supports Thunderbolt 4 and has Intel Killer DoubleShot Pro Wi-Fi 6E for better wireless performance and lower latency. Flexible connections to external displays, storage devices, and other peripherals are made possible by a variety of high-speed I/O ports.
