Deal | RTX 4070-powered Acer Predator Helios Neo 14 with Core Ultra 9 and 32GB RAM gets biggest discount yet

While some RTX 4070 laptops, such as the Lenovo LOQ 15, have already dropped below the $1,000 threshold, more premium offerings remain noticeably more expensive. Although this also applies to the Acer Predator Helios Neo 14, the compact 14-inch laptop has now dropped to its lowest price thus far.

Usually, the most interesting upper mid-range Acer Predator Helios Neo 14 configuration would cost around $1,850, but thanks to a $450 price cut at B&H Photo Video, the gaming laptop can now be ordered for a much more reasonable price of $1,399 including free shipping.

Acer Predator Helios Neo 14 features an RTX 4070 and Core Ultra 9 185H

The aforementioned price is valid for the enthusiast-grade model variant of the Acer Predator Helios Neo 14, which sports an Intel Core Ultra 9 185H with 32GB of LPDDR5X memory as well as the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop graphics card with a TGP of 125 watts.

Furthermore, the Acer gaming laptop is equipped with a 1TB SSD as well as a high-resolution IPS display with 3072 x 1920 pixels, a refresh rate of 165Hz and full sRGB colors. This panel supports Nvidia G-Sync and can hit up to 400 nits of brightness.

Acer's RTX 4070 gaming laptop is a "portable powerhouse"

These technical specifications surely look compelling on paper, but our comprehensive review is still a must-read for gamers who contemplate purchasing the Acer Predator Helios Neo 14. Aside from the soldered RAM, high temperatures and singular M.2 SSD slot, we haven't found any notable weaknesses that would bother new owners of this RTX 4070 laptop.

For instance, we enjoyed the bright display without PWM flickering, which is one of the reasons why buyers in this price range might want to opt for the Predator Helios Neo 14 instead of the more popular Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (currently $1,999 at Best Buy).Moreover, we praised the use of liquid metal, the high gaming performance as well as the impressive battery life of this Core Ultra 9 machine. Overall, the Acer gaming laptop is a decent choice thanks to its substantial discount and well-rounded specs.
