The Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S AI was one of the best gaming laptop values during Black Friday 2025. Armed with an RTX 5070 Ti, a Core Ultra 9 275HX, and an OLED display, the laptop brought a lot of hardware at an impressive $450 discount. So, if you were on the hunt for a QHD gaming laptop, the Predator Helios Neo 16S AI on sale at Black Friday was an excellent option.

Best Buy is now giving users another chance to buy the Predator Helios Neo 16S AI at the Black Friday price. Coming in at just $1,449.99, the Predator Helios Neo 16S AI is a potentially awesome last-minute Christmas gift.

Specs-wise, the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S AI is built around the RTX 5070 Ti laptop GPU, the 24-core Core Ultra 9 275HX, and 32 GB of DDR5 memory. Both the CPU and the GPU are among the fastest mobile parts currently available on the market. The Predator Helios Neo 16S AI is, therefore, powerful enough for QHD gaming in the latest AAA titles and even 4K if you are prepared to use DLSS.

The Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S AI will also do a great job at rendering these games, as the laptop carries a 16-inch OLED display. The panel boasts a high 240 Hz refresh rate, a 1600p resolution, 100% DCI-P3 coverage, 500 nits of max brightness, and Nvidia G-Sync. So, whether gaming or content production, the Predator Helios Neo 16S AI’s OLED panel is suitable for everything.

Aside from performance, the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S AI also nails other fundamentals. For instance, the port selection is quite good with a total of five USB ports, including one Thunderbolt 4, an HDMI 2.1, and an RJ45 Ethernet jack. There is also a microSD card reader. Similarly, Acer also allows RAM and storage upgrades through SO-DIMM and m.2 slots, respectively.

Finally, Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S AI carries a relatively large 76 Wh battery, a 4-zone RGB keyboard, and Wi-Fi 6E/BT5.4.

Suffice to say, in a market of rapidly rising RAM and storage prices, you will find it quite hard to beat what the $1,449.99 Predator Helios Neo 16S AI brings to the table.
