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.
