Deal | RTX 5070 Ti-powered Predator Helios Neo 16S with 240 Hz OLED display is now cheaper than ever

Gamers on the lookout for a well-equipped OLED gaming laptop that does not sacrifice on portability will likely have heard of the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S. Equipped with the powerful Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU and RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU, this gamer is now available with a massive $300 discount, dropping its price down to $1,599 on Best Buy.

The Helios Neo 16S gaming laptop is powered by the 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU. Of the total 24 cores, 8 are high-performance cores whereas 16 are efficiency cores. The 115-watt RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU handles the graphics side of things, featuring 12 GB of GDDR7 VRAM. According to Laptop Media's review of the system, the gaming laptop suffers due to its thin enclosure, falling slightly short of other gaming laptops with similar specifications, such as the ROG STRIX G16 (currently $2,100 on Amazon).

However, the OLED display of the Predator Helios Neo 16S gaming laptop is easily among the best in the category. Laptop Media's tests reveal a 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut, which makes the laptop suitable for content creation use. The 2560 x 1600 display is plenty sharp, and the 240 Hz refresh rate makes it excellent for competitive gaming. The laptop ships with 32 GB of DDR5 memory and a 1 TB SSD, both of which are quite easy to access and upgrade. The port selection is as follows:

• Dual USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C (DisplayPort, Power Delivery)
• HDMI 2.1
• Dual USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A
• 2.5G Ethernet
• microSD, 3.5 mm audio jack

Wireless needs are taken care of by WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.4. Battery life is acceptable, lasting 5 hours and 2 minutes in Laptop Media's detailed review, courtesy of the 76 Wh unit. For folks who require decent performance with good portability and an excellent display, the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S sure does appear quite enticing at its lowest-ever price.
