Acer Predator Helios 18
3.5/5
April 19, 2024Pros
- Enthusiast-level performance
- Lower price with competitive RAM and storage
- Bright and fast mini LED QHD+ display
Cons
- Lacks set-apart features or field-leading performance
- Middling battery life
- Subpar webcam quality
Bottom Line
It's no budget gaming laptop, but the Acer Predator Helios 18 gets you in the door to top-end, big-screen gaming performance for much less than other 18-inch beasts.

Video Summary
The dim display renders it unsuitable for most buyers, unless they're gaming in a dungeon. An external monitor might be a better option.
