Acer is refreshing some of its gaming laptops for IFA 2025, with a big new Predator Helios 18P AI at the high end and pair of more affordable Nitro V 16 models.
The Predator Helios 18P will have up to an RTX 5090 GPU and Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX processor, though in any configuration it should come with a 18-inch 4K / 120Hz Mini LED display and two Thunderbolt 5 ports (among many other ports). The 18P’s availability and North American price is still TBD, but it’s sure to be up there since it’ll start at 4,999 euros.

At the more affordable end, the new Acer Nitro V 16 and 16S are launching in October and November, respectively. The 16 starts at $999.99 / 1,299 euros and the slightly smaller and lighter 16S starts at $1,099.99 / 1,399 euros. Both 16-inchers can go up to an Intel 270H processor and RTX 5070 GPU.
