Title: Acer Predator Helios 18 AI review: Finally, a quieter gaming laptop, but at what cost?
Post by: Redaktion on July 09, 2025, 18:52:59
With its Core Ultra 9 275HX and RTX 5080 laptop, the 18-inch gaming desktop replacement actually falls into the high-end gaming category. So what makes the Helios 18 AI better or worse than the competition?

at "US$4500 price" cost, that is.

I disagree with audio score. I had a chance to try this laptop and as loud as it is and as expensive as it is it sounds flat, harsh with tons of distortions. Legion Pro 7i has way better speakers than this Predator.

Wonder how it compares to the 18" Lenovo Legion i9 gen 10.

Hey all
I purchased the PH18-73 with a RTX 5080. All press releases stated RAM would be 6400Mhz. Mine came with 64GB (2 x 32GGB in dual channel) of 5600Mhz RAM and only runs at 4400Mhz. Beware.
