Acer’s premium gaming brand Predator has showcased quite a lot of new stuff over at CES 2026, so let’s see what’s in the big list.
First, we have the Predator Helios Neo 16S AI refresh that comes with up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 386H paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU, all squeezed into a slim 18.9 mm metal chassis that still feels premium and solid. The 16-inch WQXGA OLED display with HDR support is exquisite, while the 5th Gen AeroBlade 3D fan setup, combined with liquid metal thermal grease, keeps things stable under load.
The system supports up to 64 GB of DDR5 memory and 2 TB of PCIe storage, and you also get an FHD IR webcam, DTS:X Ultra audio, Copilot+ PC features on Windows 11 like Live Captions, and Acer Intelligence Space to tie gaming, productivity, and creative work together, all wrapped up with modern connectivity like Thunderbolt 4 and Intel Killer Wi-Fi 6E.
On the display side, Acer is clearly chasing competitive players with the Predator XB273U F6. This 27-inch monitor already runs at a wild 500 Hz, but if you’re willing to drop the resolution to 1280 x 720 using its Dynamic Frequency and Resolution mode, it can push all the way to 1000 Hz. Built around a QHD IPS panel, it still delivers strong color performance with 95% DCI-P3 and 99% sRGB coverage, along with a 2,000:1 contrast ratio and solid brightness to go with the flexible stand, Smart Dial remote, and full HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort connectivity
If you’re more about immersion than pure competitive speed, the Predator X34 F3 provides that with a 34-inch curved 3440 x 1440 + 0.3ms response time QD-OLED monitor that runs at up to 360 Hz and pairs that smoothness with deep blacks and vivid colors. Aside from AMD FreeSync Premium Pro for gaming, the wide color coverage, strong peak brightness, and a comfortable ergonomic design with integrated speakers is also good for content creation and media consumption.
Now for the peripherals, we have the Predator Galea 570 headset focuses on clean, customizable audio with 50 mm drivers, ENC noise cancellation for the mic, and triple connectivity options that let you switch between wireless, Bluetooth, and wired modes, with up to 30 hours of use. Meanwhile, the Predator Cestus 530 mouse complements that with a high-end PixArt PAW3395 sensor, up to 26,000 DPI, an 8,000 Hz polling rate, and triple connectivity, all tunable through the Predator QuarterMaster app.
Internet-wise, take a look at the Predator Connect X7S 5G CPE running 5G speeds up to 4.67 Gbps, tri-band Wi-Fi 7, Multi-Link Operation, and smart QoS tuned for gaming and streaming. It’s designed for low-latency performance even in places where fiber isn’t ideal. The ability to switch between mobile 5G and a wired Ethernet backup adds an extra layer of reliability that fits nicely into a modern, always-connected gaming home.
Lastly, seems like Acer is borrowing some elements from its lifestyle sub-brand AcerPure, and they actually released the Predator ES Storm Pro, which is an e-scooter made for riders who rack up distance and deal with mixed city terrain on a daily basis. At the heart of it is the 500W rear hub motor that can peak up to 1200W of power, paired with a 48V electrical system that helps deliver quick acceleration and steady speed even when the road conditions aren’t ideal. Acer is also giving riders multiple riding modes, so you can tone things down for efficiency or dial things up when you want more punch, depending on how demanding your route is that day.
The scooter combines traction control with 10-inch tubeless tires, front and rear suspension, and a rear disc brake supported by eABS, which should make a noticeable difference when riding on wet roads, uneven pavement, or busy city streets. The foldable aluminum frame keeps things practical, balancing solid riding stability with easy portability for carrying short distances or storing in tight spaces, and the IPX5 water resistance rating means light rain shouldn’t be a dealbreaker.
Funnily enough, Predator is still a gaming brand, so of course, there’s gonna be RGB lights, but it’s made to be practical as they help with signaling when braking or turning. Meanwhile, the built-in holder can be used with smart tags for things like tracking.
As for battery life, it is rated for up to 60km of range on a single charge, while things like regenerative braking help squeeze each wattage for more efficiency. On the software side, the scooter connects to the Acer eMobility app, where riders can check ride statistics, vehicle status, and estimated remaining range, while also adjusting settings and personalizing lighting effects. The app even includes an electronic locking feature, adding another layer of everyday security when paired with a compatible smartphone.
