Acer has just unveiled two new laptops that are powerful enough for AAA gaming, but also packed with features suitable for casual users.
The cheapest expensive laptop – Acer Helios Neo 14 (2024)
First off, the new Predator Triton 16 is an absolute beast. Acer claims it can handle “intense AAA” computer games with ease. This machine is powerful, thanks to a 13th Gen Intel Core i9 processor and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 GPU. You can customize this laptop with up to 32GB of DDR5 RAM and up to 2TB of SSD storage.
This gaming laptop features an ultra-bright (500 nits) 16-inch display with a 240Hz refresh rate and support for Nvidia G-Sync. It’s also extremely thin, at just 0.78 inches, and has a modest form factor, making it a good choice for competitive gaming environments or a standard office. The Predator Triton 16 launches in September with a starting price of $1,800.
The Swift Edge 16 is more of a general-purpose laptop that’s perfect for creative work, web browsing, and some gaming. It features the latest AMD Ryzen 7040 series processor and AMD Radeon 780M graphics. Its 16-inch 3.2K OLED display has a 120Hz refresh rate. Interestingly, this laptop supports the recently launched Wi-Fi 7 standard, adding a future-proof gloss to any potential purchase. The Windows 11 PC comes with up to 32GB of RAM, up to 2TB of storage, and improved fans for cooling. It will ship in July with a starting price of $1,300.
