Acer has expanded its Predator Helios lineup with the new Helios Neo 14 AI. It’s a compact gaming laptop designed for users seeking high performance in a relatively portable form factor. And it features Intel’s latest “Arrow Lake-H” processor and NVIDIA RTX 50 series GPU. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the Acer Predator Helios Neo 14 AI (2025), discussing its specifications, expected price in Nepal, and more.
Acer Predator Helios Neo 14 AI (2025) Overview
Design and display
The Helios Neo 14 AI features a compact build with a metal lid and a customizable RGB logo, maintaining a balance between portability and gaming aesthetics. It includes a three-zone RGB keyboard, but otherwise sticks to a relatively minimal design for a gaming laptop.
The Predator Helios Neo 14 AI is available with two 14.5-inch display options. The first is an OLED WQXGA+ panel (2880 x 1800) offering a 120Hz refresh rate, 0.2 ms response time, and 100% DCI-P3 color gamut. So you can expect rich colors, deep blacks, and high contrast ideal that’s for gaming and content creation here.
The second option features an IPS WQXGA display (2560 x 1600) with a smoother 165Hz refresh rate and 100% sRGB coverage. Both panels reach up to 400 nits of brightness as well.
Performance and storage
The Predator Helios Neo 14 AI comes in two CPU variants: Intel Core Ultra 9 285H and Ultra 7 255H, both built on Intel’s Arrow Lake-H architecture with integrated NPU support for AI tasks. The Core Ultra 9 features a 16-core, 16-thread design with a max turbo frequency of 5.4 GHz, while the Ultra 7 also offers 16 cores and 16 threads, but clocks at up to 5.1 GHz only. Both chips are fabricated on TSMC’s N3B process and have a maximum turbo power of 115W.
For graphics, this gaming laptop can be configured with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 or RTX 5070 laptop GPU. NVIDIA Advanced Optimus support is also present for automatically switching between the integrated and the discrete GPU to optimize power and performance. In terms of memory and storage, it supports up to 32GB of LPDDR5X RAM (7467 MHz) and up to 2TB of PCIe Gen 4 SSD storage.
Cooling
To keep thermals in check, Acer has included 5th Gen AeroBlade fans, liquid metal thermal grease, vector heat pipes, and its signature Vortex Flow cooling system. This combination ensures stable performance under load in a slim and compact chassis.
Acer Predator Helios Neo 14 AI (2025) Price in Nepal and Availability
The new Helios Neo 14 AI will begin hitting stores in EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) starting July 2025 with a starting price tag of EUR 1,699. If it launches here in Nepal, we expect price the price of Acer Predator Helios Neo 14 AI (2025) to start at around NPR 259,999.

In this article, we’ll be looking at the latest price of all the models of the Apple iPad officially available in Nepal. The Nepali market enjoys all the latest models of iPads too — albeit they arrive relatively late, and with an incomparable price. Here in Nepal, you can buy an iPad (Apple Tablets) from different Apple-authorized retailers like Hukut Store, EvoStore, and Oliz Store.
Apple iPad Price in Nepal
1. Apple iPad 11 (2025)
The iPad (2025) features a modified version of the A16 chip, which has a 5-core CPU and a 4-core GPU. In comparison, the A16 Bionic chip in iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 15 models includes a 6-core CPU and a 5-core GPU. Additionally, the device does not support Apple Intelligence.
This is the first entry-level iPad to offer a 512GB storage variant. Base storage now starts at 128GB, replacing the 64GB option from the previous model. The new iPad also supports Bluetooth 5.3, an upgrade from Bluetooth 5.2, and exclusively relies on eSIM for cellular models worldwide, removing the physical SIM slot.
The iPad (2025) continues with a dual 12MP camera setup and now supports Smart HDR 4, an improvement over the previous model’s Smart HDR 3. Apple claims this enhances detail and color in photos.
As for the display, it is available in 11-inch size with Liquid Retina IPS LCD panel, similar to its predecessor. The iPad (2025) remains compatible with the first-generation Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard accessories.
2024’s iPad mini brings a larger 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display with support for True Tone technology and a P3 color gamut. The display can get as bright as 500 nits. The biggest upgrade in this year’s iPad mini has been the processor. The new A17 Pro offers 30% and 25% improvements in CPU and GPU, respectively.
At the back, there is the same old 12MP camera capable of recording 4K/60 fps videos. There is another 12MP shooter at the front with the Center Stage feature.
Apple iPad mini 7th Gen (2024) Specifications:
Body: 7.69 x 5.3 x 0.25-inches, 293gm (WiFi), 297gm (+ Cellular)
Display: 8.3-inch Liquid Retina screen, Wide color (P3), True Tone, 500 nits, Supports Apple Pencil (2nd Generation)/ Apple Pencil Pro
Apple 6th Gen iPad Air is the 2024 model of the iPad Air and comes in two screen sizes — 11″ and 13″. This thing is powered by an M2 chip and Apple has also been generous enough to bump the base storage from 64GB to 128GB. But what’s ironic is that although “iPad Air” is supposed to be Apple’s lightest lineup of iPads, it’s actually heavier than the new M4-powered iPad Pros.
Other than this, the 6th Gen iPad Air has a bunch of other smaller upgrades too. Its front-facing camera sits in landscape orientation and it supports the newer, faster WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3. And like its predecessor, the cellular variant of the M2 iPad Air is currently not available in Nepal.
Apple iPad Air 6th Gen (2024) Specifications:
Body:
11-inch: 9.74 x 7.02 x 0.24-inches, 462gm (WiFi / Cellular)
13-inch: 11.04 x 8.46 x 0.24-inches, 617gm (WiFi), 618gm (Cellular)
Display: 11/13-inch IPS panel, True Tone display, Fully laminated
Resolution: 2360 x 1640 (11-inch), 2732 x 2048 pixels (13-inch)
iPad Air 2025 brings some significant performance compared to its predecessor, thanks to the M3 chip. The system brings an 8-core CPU, an 9-core GPU, and a new and improved neural engine.
Apple iPad Air 7th Gen (2025) Specifications:
Body: 9.74 x 7.02 x 0.24-inches, 460gm
Display: 10.9-inches or 13-inches LED-backlit Liquid Retina, 500 or 600 nits, Fingerprint-resistant, Supports Apple Pencil (2nd Generation)
If you want the most powerful iPad Apple has to offer, then this is it. The 2024 model of the iPad Pro is powered by an M4 chip. But besides a more powerful processor, this year’s iPad Pro brings a lot of other exciting upgrades too. This is Apple’s first iPad with an OLED display and the interesting thing is that Apple has used two OLED panels for better peak brightness and richer contrast here.
Then there’s the fact this is Apple’s thinnest iPad ever, while the M4 iPad Pro is significantly lighter than its predecessor. Other than this, Apple has also slightly bumped the battery capacity this time. Although interestingly enough, the M4 iPad Pro no longer has an ultrawide camera at the back.
Apple iPad Pro M4 (2024) Specifications:
Body:
11-inch: 9.83 x 6.99 x 0.21-inches, 444gm (WiFi), 446gm (+ Cellular)
13-inch: 11.09 x 8.48 x 0.20-inches, 579gm (WiFi), 582gm (+ Cellular)
Display: Tandem OLED panel, 120Hz ProMotion technology, True Tone display, Fully laminated, Nano-texture glass (optional)
Resolution: 2420 x 1668 (11-inch), 2752 x 2064 pixels (13-inch)
So there you go. Be it the Apple iPad Pro price in Nepal or the price of any other model, it is really not comparable in Nepal, to what they cost abroad. Especially in the USA. Consumers in Nepal have to pay a really high price for any variant of the iPad or any Apple product for that matter, which is a bummer. But if you can afford it and can derive the perfect level of productivity, you really can’t go wrong with an iPad.
Finally, we’d also like to cordially remind our audience to always buy an iPad or any other electronic item like smartphones & laptops from official stores in Nepal. That’s because not only does it ensure you get the genuine product for the price, but you also get warranties and after-sale services with ease.
Acer’s Swift Series of laptops is well-received in the market. They are known for their sleek build and overall specs value.

Apple MacBook Pro 14 M3 chip
Like the previous iterations, the MacBook Pro 14-inch with the M3 family of chips brings no significant upgrades design-wise. But there’s now a ‘Space Black’ color option with the M3 Pro and Max-equipped Macbook Pro 14. Besides that, the MacBook Pro 14 still has the same aluminum chassis and a 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR screen with a resolution of 3024 x 1964 pixels. The Pro-Motion (120Hz) panel now hits 600 nits at maximum brightness when viewing SDR content (from the 500 nits on the predecessor) but the peak HDR brightness of 1600 nits stays the same.
An important distinction to make is that there’s now a new member in the Pro 14 lineup with the MacBook Pro 14 with a base M3 chip. This guy is replacing the 13.3-inch Macbook Pro with a touch bar and only costs a bit more offering a refreshed design, a much better display, and a bigger battery.
The MacBook Pro 2023, powered by the new M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max chips, is a significant upgrade over its predecessors. These chips, built on a 3-nanometer process technology, feature a next-generation GPU and improved CPU performance cores. They offer up to 2.5x faster rendering speeds, 30% faster CPU performance cores, and a 60% faster Neural Engine than the M1 chips.
Finally, although the ports are the same as before on the higher-end models, the base Pro 14 with an M3 chip misses out on the left USB-C port. So, you are getting 2 Thunderbolt 4s, an HDMI 2.1 port, an SD card reader, MagSafe, and a 3.5mm audio jack.

There’s a reason why they’re so popular, especially in the western markets. A great design, superb display, awesome trackpad, and excellent battery life; I mean, what’s not to like? And then there’s the widely accepted notion of how Apple’s products are less vulnerable to exploits than their Android/Windows counterparts!
Ticking all those boxes for a great machine, Apple’s MacBooks obviously don’t come cheap. And that’s especially hurting for Nepalese buyers since the price between the international & our domestic market is very contrasting. Keeping that aside, it is good news that many distributors & resellers are bringing MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and other Apple products to Nepal for a daring price.
Options are always great, but they can also make things confusing to many. So in this article, we’ve compiled a list of all the models of the Apple MacBook Air and MacBook Pro available in Nepal, along with their price.
Which MacBook to buy in Nepal? [Mini-Guide]
Who is MacBook Air for?
Apple’s MacBook lineup is pretty streamlined, just like the iPhones. There are a few models, each designed for a specific group of users. The most basic one is the MacBook Air. Currently, Apple offers three MacBook Airs in Nepal— one powered by the M1 chip, the other by the M2 chip, and the latest M3 Air. The M1 MacBook Air is almost four years old and goes for sale more often. No wonder it is the most popular MacBook in Nepal. Although it is meant for normal usage, you can push the laptop to handle basic video editing, making it perfect for students.
People with more flexible budgets tend to go for the MacBook Air M2. This is the newer of the two and, thus, more future-proof. Although not as ground-breaking as its predecessor, the M2 MacBook Air brings significant quality-of-life upgrades such as a new design, a Liquid Retina screen, a 1080p FaceTime camera, and MagSafe charging. The M3 is the newest but carries a premium while only bringing a chip upgrade and nothing else.
Who is MacBook Pro for?
A tier above the Airs is the 13-inch MacBook Pro. As you can guess by the name, it is for more demanding users. Powered by the same chip as the MacBook Airs, it has one key difference— active cooling, which the Air lack. As a result, MacBook Pro 13 can sustain demanding workloads for longer. This is why aspiring content creators usually go with the M1 and M2-powered MacBook Pro. That said, M1 and M2 MacBook Pro are generally more expensive than the corresponding Air and have outdated designs and features for 2025. They have been replaced by the 14-inch Macbook Pro with base M3 chip.
Finally, the most premium MacBooks in Nepal are the ones with Pro and Max forms of M-series Apple Silicon chips. They are the most expensive MacBooks in Nepal and are thus used mostly by content creators and other professionals. As with flagship products, you get to enjoy every bells and whistles. This includes Apple’s fastest processors, 120Hz mini LED displays, studio-like audio setup, and more.

Qualcomm has unveiled its latest mid-range chipset, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 as the newest member of its 7 series Mobile Platforms. This fresh release follows the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, which launched in 2024. Interestingly, the new chip keeps the same 1+3+4 CPU core layout as the previous version. In this article, we will take a closer look at Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 including its key features and launch timeline.
Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 Specifications
CPU and GPU
Starting off with the CPU, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 includes one 2.8 GHz ARM Cortex-A720 prime core, three A720 performance cores clocked at up to 2.4 GHz, and four Cortex-A520 efficiency cores running at up to 1.84 GHz. This setup should feel snappy in real-world use, especially with everyday multitasking. Qualcomm claims a 27% jump in CPU performance over the Gen 3, which is a big deal for a mid-range chip.
The chipset features an Adreno GPU that delivers 30% faster graphics rendering compared to the previous generation. Plus, Snapdragon Elite Gaming features are included for better gameplay experiences.
Camera and AI
The Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 uses a 12-bit Triple ISP that supports up to 200MP photo capture, just like the Gen 3. What’s really exciting is the real-time 4K60 Video Super Resolution, which keeps your videos crisp even when you zoom in. Also, for the first time in the 7 series, it brings in AI-powered autofocus, auto white balance, and auto exposure. It even adds hardware stabilization, which is great news for video creators.
On the AI side, it supports on-device Gen AI assistants and even runs popular large language models (LLMs) directly on the phone. The addition of Stable Diffusion image generation in this segment feels like a smart move. The chip also promises a 65% increase in AI performance, which makes on-device tasks way faster and more efficient.
In the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 series, for the first time the Qualcomm’s Expanded Personal Area Network (XPAN) comes. It gives whole-building seamless coverage between your device and earbuds, even if you’re far from your phone. Music lovers will appreciate the Snapdragon Sound support for lossless streaming, along with the Qualcomm Aqstic Hi-Fi DAC, which delivers high-quality sound without distortion.
Furthermore, the chipset supports Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0, keeping it future-ready for fast wireless speeds and stable connections.
Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 Availability
Qualcomm confirmed that HONOR and vivo will be the first brands to use this chip, with their upcoming devices launching this month.

Oppo has added two new phones to its Reno lineup under Reno 14 and Reno 14 Pro. Both of these phones run on MediaTek chipsets, feature OLED displays, and pack large 6000+ batteries. In this article, let’s take a closer look at the Oppo Reno 14 and Reno 14 Pro, including their specifications and expected price in Nepal.
Oppo Reno 14 and Reno 14 Pro Overview
Design and Display
To begin with, both phones share a similar shape and look nearly identical. The regular Reno 14 is available in Mermaid, Half Summer Green, and Reef Black. On the flip side, the Reno 14 Pro replaces Half Summer Green with a classy Calla Lily color.
Moving to the display, Reno 14 sports a 6.59-inch flat LTPS OLED panel. It boasts a 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and reaches up to 1200 nits’ brightness. Impressively, it has IP66/68/69 ratings for solid water and dust protection. The frame feels premium with its metal body and a velvet-textured glass back.
Meanwhile, the Reno 14 Pro comes with a slightly larger 6.83-inch OLED display. It keeps the 1.5K resolution and smooth 120Hz refresh rate, just like the base model. I really like how Oppo used a single-piece glass body here, which not only looks sleek but also boosts its dust and water resistance under the same IP rating.
As for performance, the Reno 14 packs a MediaTek Dimensity 8350 processor. It includes 4x Arm Cortex-A715 and 4x Arm Cortex-A510 cores, along with a 4MB L3 cache. It’s paired with fast LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. This combination easily scores over 1.4 million on AnTuTu, which is quite impressive for a non-flagship phone. You can choose from 12/256GB to 16GB/1TB storage options. And fueling it all is a massive 6000mAh battery with 80W fast wired charging.
Shifting to the Pro model, it features the Dimensity 8450 processor. This chip comes with one powerful Arm Cortex-A725 core, three more Cortex-A725s, and four additional Cortex-A725s (yup, no A510s here). It reaches the same high benchmark scores and shares the same RAM and storage variants as the standard version. One interesting thing to note is that both phones run on ColorOS 15 based on Android 15, which means you’re getting the latest software right out of the box.
Camera and More
When it comes to cameras, the Reno 14 carries a triple camera setup with a 50MP main lens (with OIS), an 8MP ultra-wide shooter, and a 50MP JN5 3.5x periscope telephoto. Meanwhile, the Reno 14 Pro upgrades the ultra-wide to a 50MP sensor and keeps the other two cameras the same. On the front, both phones offer a sharp 50MP selfie camera, which is great news for selfie lovers.
For heat management, the Reno 14 uses a Nano Ice Crystal heat sink with 4700mm² vapor chamber cooling, while the Pro uses an upgraded Tidal Engine cooling system. This could make a big difference for gamers or heavy users.
Oppo Reno 14 and Reno 14 Pro Price in Nepal and Availability
The company launched the Reno 14 at CNY 2799 for the 12/256GB version, while the Reno 14 Pro costs CNY 3499 for the same configuration. Based on this pricing, we can expect the starting price in Nepal to be around NPR 55,000 once these models officially arrive.
