Powered by NVIDIA Blackwell, GeForce RTX™ 50 Series Laptop GPUs bring game-changing  capabilities to gamers and creators. Equipped with a massive level of AI horsepower, the RTX 50 Series enables new experiences and next-level graphics fidelity. Multiply performance with NVIDIA DLSS 4, generate images at unprecedented speed, and unleash creativity with NVIDIA  Studio. Users can effortlessly level up their gaming performance and creative capabilities on the  Predator laptops with support from the latest Intel Core Ultra (Series 2) processors that power  next-gen AI gameplay and scale up both performance and efficiency. Both laptops are a new  class of Windows PCs that are designed for AI-intensive processes like real-time translations and  image generation. Plus, access to NVIDIA NIM Microservices – state-of-the-art AI models that let  enthusiasts and developers build AI assistants, agents, and workflows with peak performance on  NIM-ready AI systems.  

The newly refreshed Predator Orion 3000 gaming desktop is also enhanced with the latest silicon from Intel and NVIDIA, providing avid gamers with the edge they need to max out the graphics  on the latest AAA titles and content creators with the necessary performance for editing or  streaming. 

Predator Triton 14 AI - A Creator’s Dream Laptop 

Acer’s highly portable 14.5-inch laptop combines high-performance components with compelling  features wrapped in a minimalist, streamlined design, making it a versatile laptop ideal for  those seeking a lightweight yet powerful and understated device for work and play. Specifically,  creative professionals, content creators, gamers and higher education students will appreciate  the portability, raw power and novel capabilities it brings to their workflows. 

Its lightweight yet durable aluminum chassis weighs just 1.6 kg (3.52 lbs) and measures 17.31  mm (0.68 inches) thin. The laptop’s chassis and screen are glazed with an anti-fingerprint  coating to keep its minimalist gray cover and display clean and streak-free. Giving it just the  right amount of flare, a polished silver hinge running along the back features a diamond cut  treatment that displays iridescent colors that gleam when viewed from different angles. 

The Predator Triton 14 AI (PT14-52T) features an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor 288V processor,  with newly optimized hybrid architecture and state-of-the-art technology enabling seamless experiences for creating and gaming.. It is also configurable with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070  Laptop GPU with DLSS 4 and NVIDIA Studio drivers for optimized creative workflows and  maximum stability in video editing, 3D rendering and livestreaming. As a Copilot+ PC, it enables  exclusive experiences like real-time translations by Live Captions[2]and image creation in  Microsoft Paint with Image Creator[2]. The laptop also supports up to 32 GB of LPDDR5X memory  and up to 2 TB of PCIe Gen 4 NVMe storage.

Its vibrant Calman Verified OLED WQXGA+ (2880 x 1800) display with 100% DCI-P3 color gamut  support is ideally suited for graphically intense and professional-level photography and  video/film work. Razor-sharp visuals, deep contrast, precise color accuracy, fast 120 Hz refresh  rate, and seamless 1ms response time work together to ensure every frame is fluid, and every  detail crystal clear. The display’s finger-based touch capabilities provide enhanced user  interaction and convenience, supporting simple gestures such as zooming in, swiping and  tapping, scrolling pages or switching between tasks. It’s especially useful for creative work and  can improve workflow productivity.  

Supporting the streamlined modern design and enhancing the typing experience, the Predator  Triton 14 AI includes a large one-piece button-less haptic Corning Gorilla Glass touchpad with  stylus pen support. The bundled active stylus supports AES 2.0, USI 2.0, and MPP 2.5 protocols with 4,096 pressure levels, tilt support, and a responsive 10-450 g pen tip force, making it easy  for creators/designers/artists to sketch, write and create with pinpoint accuracy, all on a  seamless, ultra-responsive and durable surface. The haptics simulate tactile sensations,  providing physical feedback when pressed, enhancing precision and making the interaction feel  more responsive and natural. The haptics can even be customized to the user’s personal  preference. Support for an active stylus provides a more efficient way to interact with AI tools,  helping creators input their ideas intuitively. 

Advanced thermals keep the Predator Triton 14 AI running cool under pressure, allowing it to  handle the most demanding games within its sleek form. An industry first, the Predator Triton  14 AI pioneers the use of graphene thermal interface materials (TIM) on the CPU to provide  efficient heat transfer and outperforms traditional thermal grease with a 14.5% increase in  thermal capacity[3], offering higher thermal conductivity. Dual 6th Gen AeroBlade 3D metal fans,  the world’s thinnest[4]cooling fan blades at just 0.05 mm, work at max capacity to boost airflow  by 20%[5]compared to plastic fans. Acer’s Vortex Flow system directs airflow to critical  components, ensuring rapid dissipation for consistent, high-level performance. It works  alongside the vapor chamber to efficiently distribute heat to prevent hot spots.  

Creative professionals will also appreciate the convenience and security provided by the Human  Presence Detection (HPD) with AI Vision Sensor in the laptop’s webcam. It can detect when a  person is in front of the laptop and can activate certain features like logging in or waking the  system when a person is sensed, dimming the screen when users look away, or locking the  device when no one is present.

Its customizable per-key RGB keyboard offers a vibrant experience and adds to the device's  aesthetic appeal. PredatorSense gives real-time control over system performance and makes it  easy to switch between four different operation modes. Intel Killer Wi-Fi 7 delivers high-speed  connectivity and ultra-low latency, so players can go all out during games, and Thunderbolt 4  provides lightning-fast data transfer and charging for seamless multitasking. 

Predator Helios Neo 14 AI – Delivering Powerful Gaming On-the-Go 

The all-new Predator Helios Neo 14 AI (PHN14-71) gaming laptop expands Acer’s popular Helios  Neo line, bringing 14.5-inch portability to the mix without compromising on power or cutting edge gaming features. It supports up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor 285H and up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU with DLSS 4. It offers up to 32 GB of fast LPDDR5X 7467 MHz  onboard memory, while a generous amount of storage is provided with up to 2 TB PCIe Gen4  SSDs. 

Ensuring both games and work visuals look great and deliver high color accuracy, the Helios Neo  14 AI sports a 14.5-inch 16:10 OLED 2.8K WQXGA+ (2880 x 1800) display, boasting a 0.2 ms  response time and supporting 100% of the DCI-P3 color spec. It also offers support for NVIDIA  Advanced Optimus. 

Keeping all this power cool in such a slim chassis is a breeze, thanks to Acer’s 5th Gen  AeroBlade technology, liquid metal thermal grease on the CPU, a Vector Heat pipe, and Acer’s  Vortex Flow system. 

Sporting a sleek and modern durable design, the Predator Helios Neo 14 AI’s metal lid features a  customizable RGB logo paired with a dynamic three-zone RGB keyboard, so users can pattern  the design to their unique styles. Fast connections are delivered with Intel Killer Wi-Fi 6E and a  Thunderbolt 4 port, and Acer’s Experience Zone lets players tap into its collection of AI powered features including PurifiedVoice 2.0, PurifiedView 2.0 and Acer’s ProCam app that  automatically recognizes and records gameplay highlights.  

Predator Orion 3000 Gaming Desktop
