Acer’s Predator Helios 18, the best 18-inch laptop you can currently buy. It simply delivers what you want from an 18-inch laptop without any of the cons of its competitors. Plus it is the cheapest 18-inch laptop.

It has powerful components inside, a beautiful Mini-LED display, and its keyboard is comfortable to type on. It also has low amounts of fan noise if you run on its default mode while remaining cool to the touch under any workload. Plus, its memory and storage are both upgradeable.

The cons with the predator are pretty minor. For example, some people may find the material used on the palm rest rejects palm sweat. Also its Turbo Mode has insanely loud fan noise, we recommend running it on Balanced or Performance Mode to completely avoid this.
