Acer has revealed three more gaming laptops coming in this year from both the Predator and Nitro brands.
Two of which are 14-inch laptops, which are new to Acer’s lineup having only released the modern standard of 16-inch and 18-inch laptops.
The Predator Helios Neo 14 is a new entry to the Predator Helios Neo line, sporting a more compact 14-inch display.




The Predator Helios Neo is at the lower end yet the specs are still packing. Intel Core 9 Ultra CPU, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, and a display that can go up to 3072×1920 resolution or up to 165Hz refresh rate.
Like most Predator laptops, the Predator Helios Neo 14 has a dual-fan setup utilising Acer’s own 5th-gen Aeroblade 3D fans, and liquid metal grease is pasted on the CPU.
Interestingly, the Predator Helios Neo 14 lacks the little codes and Easter Eggs that its bigger Helios Neo brethren has. The chassis lid only has a two techno lines and the funky new Predator logo. So fans of stealth and subtle gaming laptops, rejoice.





The Acer Nitro 14 is also a relatively compact 14-inch gaming laptop. Though this one is powered by AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS processor and up to an Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU. The display goes up to 2560×1600 resolution with G-Sync support.
Meanwhile, the Acer Nitro 16 is getting a refresh for 2024. The higher-end of the less premium gaming brand of the two will be packing either an Intel Core i7 14th-gen processor or an AMD Ryzen 8040 series processor, and up to an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU. So less powerful than Helios Neo 14 on paper, but good enough to run the latest games.
The 16-inch display has a 1560×1600 resolution and 165 Hz refresh rate. As for cooling, the Acer Nitro 16 (2024) sports a dual-fan, quad-intake and quad-exhaust setup, as well as liquid metal thermal grease used on the CPU.
The Acer Nitro gaming laptop designs for 2024 is really clean. The only signifiers that it’s a Nitro gaming laptop is the N logo and the translucent-ish intake vent covers at the back, which is neat.
The Predator Helios Neo 16, the Acer Nitro 14 and the Acer Nitro 16 (2024) gaming laptops will be on sale as soon as this May in North America. Expect to see these laptops coming to Malaysia sometime soon.
