Deal | RTX 4070-powered Acer Predator Helios Neo 14-inch gaming laptop drops to lowest price yet

Several months will go by before RTX 5070-equipped gaming laptops are hitting the market, which is why this holiday season is still a decent time to grab an RTX 4070 notebook at steeply reduced prices. These big discounts can also be found in the popular 14-inch segment, in which the Acer Predator Helios Neo 14 is somewhat of an underdog compared to the successful Asus ROG Zephyrus G14.

Therefore, the Acer Predator Helios Neo 14 is once again undercutting its closest rival in terms of price. More specifically, the Amazon-owned online retailer Woot is now selling the 14-inch RTX 4070 gaming laptop at a 30% discount, which results in a sale price of $1,229 including free shipping for Prime subscribers.

This offer applies to the coveted configuration with an Intel Core Ultra 9 185H and Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070, which features 8GB VRAM and an appropriate TGP of 125 watts. However, it should be noted that this particular version of the Acer Predator Helios Neo 14 only comes with 16GB LPDDR5X RAM, and since the memory is soldered onto the motherboard, owners won't be able to upgrade this component later on. The 1TB SSD, on the other hand, can be replaced with a large one (4TB from $237 on Amazon) after purchase.

Most importantly, deal hunters should read our comprehensive review of the Acer Predator Helios Neo 14 before ordering their new 14-inch notebook. For instance, buyers should check out our measurements and impressions of the 3K IPS display, which offers a smooth 165Hz refresh rate, almost full sRGB color space coverage as well as a brightness of over 400 nits.

Moreover, we praised the gaming performance and very respectable battery life of the Acer Predator Helios Neo 14, which lasted over 8.5 hours in our WiFi websurfing test. Overall, the 14-inch gaming laptop should be on the shortlist for buyers who are looking for a well-rounded RTX 4070 laptop that doesn't break the bank and is portable enough for taking it on vacation and other travel adventures.
