Despite its ultra-light build, the Swift Edge 14 AI complies with MIL-STD-810H durability standards, reassuring its robustness. The 2026 edition upgrades include Intel Core Ultra 9 388H processors, up to 32GB of RAM, 1TB SSD storage, and a vivid 3K, 120Hz OLED touchscreen display. A standout feature is the multi-control touchpad, enhancing convenience for media, conferencing, and presentations.
Predator Helios Neo 16S AI
Powerful portable gaming with advanced display and processing.
The Predator Helios Neo 16S AI is a notably slim gaming laptop, measuring just 18.9mm thick. It boasts a 3K OLED display, Intel Core Ultra 9 386H processor, and Nvidia RTX 5070 graphics. For gamers seeking portability without sacrificing power, this machine excels—ideal for gaming on the go.
While traditional gamers might prefer bulkier models, those interested in versatile, portable gaming laptops will find the Helios Neo 16S AI a compelling choice, combining power and mobility seamlessly.
