A current offer for the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 is worth a look for gamers who are in the market for a 16-inch desktop replacement, but users who would prefer a more portable 14-inch machine can also benefit from a noteworthy offer. More specifically, the Acer Predator Helios Neo 14 is back on sale at B&H Photo Video.
The New York City-based electronics retailer has once again dropped the price of the Acer Predator Helios Neo 14 with an Intel Core Ultra 9 185H to $1,399 including free shipping. This configuration of the compact 14-inch gaming laptop also comes with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 and 32GB LPDDR5 RAM, which is unfortunately soldered and non-upgradable.
Usually, the Acer Predator Helios Neo 14 with these components would cost $1,849, which means that gamers can benefit from considerable savings of $450 or 24 percent in this case. That being said, prospective buyers should make sure to check out our in-depth review to see if this RTX 4070 gaming laptop is a good choice for one's particular use case. In addition to the technical specifications mentioned above, we enjoyed the bright QHD IPS display of the Acer Predator Helios Neo 14.
One of the standout aspects of the 14-inch notebook is definitely its battery life. While many other gaming laptops are pretty dependent on a nearby power outlet, the Acer Predator Helios Neo 14 managed to last over 8.5 hours in our WiFi websurfing test, which is a fantastic result for an RTX 4070 and Core Ultra 9 machine. In the end, this gaming laptop deal is a worthy alternative to the popular Asus ROG Zephyrus G14, which might not be the perfect choice for gamers due to the constant PWM flickering of its OLED display.
