Acer's latest Predator gaming PCs are absolute beasts

Get ready to prey on your enemies with Acer's latest Predator gaming lineup.

At Acer's Next event today, the company took the wraps off of its latest Predator gaming lineup. And if you're looking for power, there's plenty to like here.

At the top of the line is the new Predator Helios 500 notebook, which combines a high refresh rate display with Intel's latest processors and discrete NVIDIA graphics. The 17.3-inch IPS display is available in both 4K and 1080p options, with a 144Hz refresh rate if you opt for the 1080p model. Both, however, feature NVIDIA's G-Sync tech, which will keep frames buttery smooth and cut out screen tearing.

As for internals, Acer is packing in Intel's latest 8th Gen processors, with a beastly Core i9+ 8950HK processor at the top end. That's combined with 16GB of RAM (upgradable to 64GB) and up to 1TB of storage. Rounding things out is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 graphics chip with 8GB of GDDR5 VRAM, along with a Killer Wireless-AC card for networking.
