87.1% 宏碁掠夺者 Helios 18 2024 笔记本电脑评测:18 英寸游戏玩家的新硬件 | Notebookcheck
18 英寸笔记本电脑正在缓慢但肯定地成为小众产品。除了微星(MSI)、华硕(Asus)和 Alienware 之外,宏碁(Acer)也推出了合适的产品。我们对最新版的 Predator Helios 18 进行了测试。
宏碁掠夺者 Helios 18 (PH18-72) 评测 – 迷你 LED 笔记本电脑的台式机性能
Source: Laptopmedia CN
宏碁掠夺者 Helios 18(PH18-72)是一款功能强大的通用机器。凭借出色的硬件,它可以替代台式机。凭借 32 线程的英特尔酷睿 i9-14900HX,这款笔记本电脑适用于 CPU 密集型任务,如 3D 渲染,因为处理器可以保持较高的时钟频率和功耗限制。移动版 GeForce RTX 4090 可以在 30 分钟游戏后显示出 1972 MHz 的频率–对于如此耗电且散热量巨大的芯片来说,这已经是非常不错的成绩了!由于散热能力强且整体性能出色,宏碁的这款机器几乎可以被视为工作站。可选的 16:10 IPS Mini LED 显示屏(AUO B180QAN01.2 (AUO45A8))试图与 OLED 面板竞争,至少在对比度方面(这里是 16000:1)。1600p 250Hz 设备可以完全覆盖 sRGB 和 DCP-P3 色域,这对游戏玩家和内容创作者来说都是梦寐以求的。在应用我们的 “设计与游戏 “配置文件时,色彩准确度非常高,平均 dE 分数为 1.4。与默认的 4.1 分相比,这是一个明显的进步。PWM 的使用是唯一会破坏游戏体验的因素。对于日常使用,我们推荐使用 “性能 “预设和 “Optimus “模式组合。噪音水平和整个设备的功率都不错,而且机器会根据负载在 iGPU 和 dGPU 之间动态切换。所有这些都由英伟达™(NVIDIA®)高级优化技术处理。当适配器没有插上时,iGPU 将处于激活状态,以提高电池续航时间;当你想尽情享受最喜爱的游戏时,集成显卡将被旁路,以提高游戏性能。您可以对 GPU 进行降压和超频(就像我们所做的),以降低功耗并提高性能。这提醒我们,该设备缺少 CPU 欠压功能,而在某些联想 Legion或惠普 Omen 设备中可以找到该功能。对于希望通过降低 CPU 电压来降低 “Turbo “模式下噪音的电源用户来说,这样的额外功能会非常方便。底座的铝制顶部非常坚固,塑料底板也是如此,刚性出奇地好。要进入内部进行升级或清洁风扇非常简单–只需抬起设备的背面,同时握住两个排气口,底板的一半就已经弹出。您可以获得两个 SODIMM 插槽和两个 Gen 4 M.2 插槽。还支持 RAID 0,读写速度极快。该机为 RGB 风扇用户提供了大量自定义照明功能。这提醒我们,带有可互换 WASD 键的全尺寸键盘在打字和游戏时非常舒适。触摸板是我们见过的最大的触摸板之一,表面采用光滑的玻璃材质

80% Acer Predator Helios 18: all the power of the sun
Source: T3 English EN→zh-CN
While 18-inch gaming laptops don't come cheap, and neither does the absolute bleeding edge of CPU and GPU technology, the Acer Predator Helios 18 is competitively priced and boasts a lot of grunt. Don't expect to take it on the go, and keep the charger close, but it's hard not to like this machine for its mix of smart design and impressive Mini LED display. If you've fallen out of love with PC gaming, this could be the machine to bring you back.

70% Acer Predator Helios 18 Review
Source: PC Mag English EN→zh-CN
Acer’s Predator Helios 18 doesn’t do too much to separate itself from the pack, for better or worse. This category of mega-laptop, inherent in the components and cost, presumes a high baseline of power and features, and the Helios 18 meets those marks. It’s a generally well-made, extremely fast laptop with an advanced display and some fancy extras, like its super-size competitors. It avoids any major pitfalls, and while it equally lacks a standout claim in design or performance, it's the least expensive of the batch. All of these systems are expensive, so the cost of entry is less vital in this field. (If you're in for this kind of laptop, you're prepared to pay big or go home.) But the relative value play here is still worth noting. If you have a budget that peeps just past $3,000, the Helios 18 gets you in the door to the high-end tier with the other big performers.

If there was an 18-inch beast of a flagship that’s worth the investment, it’d be the Acer Predator Helios 18. The gaming powerhouse has a lot to offer users, from excellent performance to spectacular visuals, but is a tough sell for the general crowd with its price tag.

80% Acer Predator Helios 18 review: a monster gaming laptop that goes all out
Source: Techradar English EN→zh-CN
These days, huge gaming laptops can be surprisingly thin and light, yet still offer high-end performance. The 18-inch Acer Predator Helios 18 is no exception, and pushes the limits of how much high-performance hardware it can fit inside. As it suggests in the name, the Helios 18 has a huge 18-inch QHD+ (2560 x 1600) mini-LED panel with a fast 250Hz refresh rate, an excellent 3ms GTG refresh rate, but also covers 100% of the DCI-P3 gamut for vibrant, accurate colors. While the Helios 18 does have more affordable variants with lower-performance parts, I got hands on with one of the highest-end models. Key is the mighty Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, plus the equally high-end Intel Core i9-14900HX CPU and up to 64GB of RAM.

80% Acer Predator Helios 18 (2024) Review
Source: Trusted Reviews English EN→zh-CN
This is another superb gaming laptop from Acer, going straight up against the mighty ROG Strix Scar 18 and Alienware M18, and beating the former on price by several hundred pounds. If you’re not set on an 18-inch model, we’ve tested a bunch more, and you can find our top picks in our best gaming laptops guide. While it’s not quite as fast as these two monster gaming laptops, the Acer Predator Helios 18 (2024) is still in much the same ballpark, and it’s hard to quibble with its gaming features, the excellent screen or the general ergonomics.

Acer Predator Helios 18 (PH18-72) review – Desktop Performance in a Mini LED Laptop
Source: Laptop Media English EN→zh-CN
The Acer Predator Helios 18 (PH18-72) is a universal powerful machine. It can be a desktop replacement thanks to the exceptional hardware. With the 32-threaded Intel Core i9-14900HX, the laptop is suitable for CPU-intensive tasks such as 3D Rendering because the processor can maintain high clocks and power limits. The mobile GeForce RTX 4090 is able to show a 1972 MHz frequency after 30 minutes of gameplay – that’s a tremendously good result for such a thirsty chip that dissipates tons of heat! This Acer machine can be considered (almost) as a workstation since the cooling is capable and the overall performance is great. The optional 16:10 IPS Mini LED display (AUO B180QAN01.2 (AUO45A8)) is trying to compete with the OLED panels, at least when it comes to contrast (which here is 16000:1).

Acer Predator Helios 18 hands-on at CES 2024
Source: Engadget English
Without a new generation of NVIDIA GPUs to accommodate, this year at CES 2024 in Las Vegas, laptop manufacturers have been forced to come up with other ways of getting attention. Some OEMs have opted for complete redesigns while others have introduced smaller (and super light) versions of existing models. But on the 2024 Predator Helios 18, Acer has opted for the flashiest method yet, featuring a captivating new hinge along with updated specs.
