Here’s the complete specs sheet of the 2023 Acer Predator Helios 16 and Predator Helios 18 models. They’re also simplifying the updated Acer Nitro 16 and Nitro 17 lineups discussed in this article.ĭown below we’ll further go over the important features and novelties of these two Predator Helios 2023 models, and then we’ll follow up with our detailed reviews in the next few weeks. In the past, they used to offer Predator Helios 300 and Helios 500 models, in either 15 or 17-inch sizes, and now they brought them all together into the mid-sized all-purpose Helios 16 and the full-size desktop replacement Helios 18. I also appreciate that Acer simplified the naming of these updates. Internally, these Helios models are built on the latest Intel 13th-gen Core HX and Nvidia RTX 4000 specs, with capable cooling designs, upgradeable memory and storage, and big batteries. They’re also the first Predator Helios laptops available with 16:10 displays and a selection of modern panels, including miniLED options with zone dimming. The 2023 generations are brand new designs, both on the outside, where the aggressive Predator branding elements of the past have been tamed down to some extent, and on the inside, with refreshed specs and updated thermal modules.
