Acer did something that could change the way expensive gaming laptops are sold - flog them as an AI workstation

SMRTR summary

Acer's new Predator Helios 18P AI combines gaming aesthetics with workstation features, including Intel vPro processors and ECC memory typically found in enterprise machines. Starting at €4,499, this hybrid device packs up to Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX with RTX 5090 GPU, 192GB ECC memory, and 6TB storage, but the enterprise components may actually reduce gaming performance compared to standard gaming laptops with non-ECC memory.
