If you want a no-compromise laptop gaming experience, then opting for the world's most powerful mobile graphics processor is a must. Pair the mobile RTX 5090 with a 240Hz OLED screen, and you have today's deal at B&H Photo, where the 16-inch Acer Predator Helios AI is now $2,999 after a $500 discount. You couldn't currently even buy a desktop RTX 5090 for the price of this whole laptop.
This model of the Acer Predator Helios AI features a 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 laptop GPU with 24GB of fast GDDR7 VRAM, 32GB of RAM, and 2TB of PCIe Gen 4 SSDs. The chassis is a mix of metal and plastic, with an abyssal black finish. There are multiple RGB zones located on the laptop, so you can illuminate the darkness with a rainbow light show should you wish it.
The RTX 5090 from Nvidia is the absolute king of gaming for both desktop and laptop gaming, but don't get them confused, as the laptop version of the RTX 5090 is a completely different beast: same name, but not quite as powerful. That doesn't change how good it is, however, as the mobile RTX 5090 is definitely the most powerful graphics chip you'll find inside any modern gaming laptop.
We haven't had the opportunity to review this model of the Acer Predator Helios AI, so we can't fully compare the laptop to any competition or see its performance benchmarks. These are familiar components, though, so we do have a rough idea of the capabilities.
The RTX 5090 will be able to run all the latest game titles smoothly at maximum settings on the gorgeous 16-inch 2,560 x 1,600 OLED screen, plus you can also make use of Nvidia DLSS 4 support to boost framerates and gain a smoother experience on more taxing titles, should you need it.
Coupled with that 24GB RAM and 2TB SSD and you've got a portable rig with serious performance that'll chew through modern games with ease. Grab this Acer Predator Helios AI laptop for just $2,999 while you can, because this is a deal that will sell out, fast.
