Acer has updated its Predator Helios 10 Neo lineup with a configuration designed for high-refresh-rate gaming. This release matters because it pairs a next-generation GPU with a fast 240 Hz display, offering a complete visual experience for players who prioritize smooth frame delivery over raw resolution. The new model targets buyers who want immediate access to the latest graphics hardware without waiting for global rollout.
New configuration pairs RTX 5070 with 240 Hz display
The laptop centers on the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 GPU and the Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX processor. This combination provides 20 CPU cores to handle complex game physics and multitasking alongside dedicated ray tracing capabilities. Acer markets this configuration as a dedicated gaming laptop instead of a general-purpose workstation.
Specifications
- GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070
- CPU: Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX
- Display: 16-inch, 2560×1600, 240 Hz
- Memory: 16 GB DDR5-6400
- Storage: 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD
Visual performance relies on a 16-inch panel that outputs a 2560×1600 resolution at a 240 Hz refresh rate. The screen covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut and responds in 3 ms, ensuring minimal motion blur during fast-paced action. Internal memory consists of 16 GB of DDR5-6400 RAM paired with a 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD for rapid data access.
Connectivity options include Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.1, and three USB 3.2 Type-A ports to support multiple peripherals. The system also features 2.5 GbE Ethernet, a microSD card reader, and a 3.5 mm audio jack for wired headsets. It ships with Windows 11 pre-installed, providing a familiar interface for new users.
Acer currently sells this configuration exclusively in China for 16,999 CNY (around $2,512). The company has not yet announced pricing or release dates for other regions, leaving global buyers without immediate access. We touched on Acer Nitro V 16 AI Laptop in our earlier Acer coverage to track similar RTX 5070 launches in the brand's portfolio.
This update confirms the availability of the RTX 5070 in Acer's mid-range Predator Helios series for the Chinese market. The specific hardware mix and pricing are locked to this region until further notice from the vendor.
