  • PositiveHigh frame rate
  • PositiveVery short switching times
  • Positiveremains quite cool even under full load
  • NegativeResolution a little low for an 18-inch notebook
  • NegativeHeavy with bulky power supply unit

With a price of 1499 euros, the Acer Predator Helios Neo 18 is currently the cheapest 18-inch gaming laptop. When tested, it impressed with short switching times and modern connections. The graphics card doesn't offer much, but gaming in Full HD runs smoothly and is just sharp enough on the 18-inch laptop.
