Acer has introduced its newest gaming hardware at Computex 2025, headlined by the innovative Predator Triton 14 AI laptop. The new lineup showcases Acer’s commitment to blending cutting-edge performance with creative capabilities while incorporating industry-first cooling technologies.
Predator Triton 14 AI: Pioneering Design for Creators and Gamers
The star of the show is the new Predator Triton 14 AI (PT14-52T), which is positioned as a creator’s dream laptop. It’s the industry’s first laptop to utilize graphene thermal interface materials (TIM) on the CPU, delivering a 14.5% increase in thermal capacity compared to traditional thermal grease solutions.
Housed in a lightweight yet durable aluminum chassis weighing just 1.6 kg (3.52 lbs) and measuring 17.31 mm thin, the Triton 14 AI features an anti-fingerprint coating to maintain its minimalist gray aesthetic. The polished silver hinge along the back includes a diamond cut treatment that displays iridescent colors when viewed from different angles.
Performance-wise, the Triton 14 AI is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor 288V and can be configured with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU with DLSS 4. The device supports up to 32 GB of LPDDR5X memory and up to 2 TB of PCIe Gen 4 NVMe storage.
It boasts a Calman Verified OLED WQXGA+ (2880 x 1800) display with 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, a 120Hz refresh rate, and 1ms response time. The display also features finger-based touch capabilities that enhance user interaction for tasks like zooming, swiping, and tapping.
The large one-piece button-less haptic Corning Gorilla Glass touchpad offers stylus pen support, while the bundled active stylus supports multiple protocols with 4,096 pressure levels, tilt support, and responsive pen tip force, enabling precise creative work directly on the device.
For thermal management, the Triton 14 AI incorporates dual 6th Gen AeroBlade 3D metal fans with cooling blades just 0.05 mm thick, boosting airflow by 20% compared to plastic fans. Acer’s Vortex Flow system works alongside a vapor chamber to efficiently distribute heat throughout the system.
The device also includes Human Presence Detection with an AI Vision Sensor, a customizable per-key RGB keyboard, Intel Killer Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, and Thunderbolt 4 support for fast data transfers.
Predator Helios Neo 14 AI: Portable Gaming Power
The all-new Predator Helios Neo 14 AI (PHN14-71) extends Acer’s popular Helios Neo line with a portable 14.5-inch form factor. The laptop supports up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor 285H, up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU with DLSS 4, up to 32 GB of LPDDR5X 7467 MHz memory, and up to 2 TB PCIe Gen4 SSD storage.
Visuals are delivered via a 14.5-inch 16:10 OLED 2.8K WQXGA+ (2880 x 1800) display with 0.2 ms response time and 100% DCI-P3 color coverage. The device also supports NVIDIA Advanced Optimus technology.
Cooling is managed through Acer’s 5th Gen AeroBlade technology, liquid metal thermal grease on the CPU, Vector Heat pipe, and the Vortex Flow system. The metal lid features a customizable RGB logo alongside a dynamic three-zone RGB keyboard for personalization options.
The Helios Neo 14 AI includes Intel Killer Wi-Fi 6E, a Thunderbolt 4 port, and Acer’s Experience Zone with AI-powered features like PurifiedVoice 2.0, PurifiedView 2.0, and the ProCam app for automatic gameplay highlight recording.
Predator Orion 3000: Compact Desktop Gaming Power
Completing the new lineup is the refreshed Predator Orion 3000 (PO3-665) gaming desktop, designed for enthusiasts who want a compact yet powerful PC. This 28-liter system features up to an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor 265F and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 GPU, along with up to 32 GB dual-channel DDR5 RAM and ample storage options including up to 2 TB M.2 PCIe SSD and up to 2 TB 7200 RPM HDD.
The Orion 3000’s new chassis design includes EMI-compliant tempered glass side panels and mesh lining that extends from top to bottom along the Predator logo. For cooling and aesthetics, it features 120 mm RGB-lit system fans at the front and rear.
Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 7, Ethernet, and numerous USB ports including two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C port, and an audio jack on the front. The back offers four USB 2.0 Type-A ports, two USB 3.2 Type-A slots, a LAN port, and three audio jacks.
