Deal | This RTX 5090 gaming laptop with 240Hz OLED just got a big discount

amazoAn Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 desktop GPU alone usually costs upwards of $4,000 on Amazon these days, which is why many gamers who mostly play on their desk might be looking into buying a gaming laptop rather than a tower. Enthusiasts with a corresponding budget can now grab a powerful mobile machine for a more or less reasonable price.

More specifically, the Acer Predator Helios 16 is now discounted by 14% or $500 at B&H Photo Video, which results in a sale price of $2,999 including free shipping. As indicated above, this 16-inch gaming laptop is equipped with the RTX 5090 Laptop graphics card with 24GB GDDR7 VRAM, which might be a mentionable alternative to the hopelessly overpriced yet faster desktop version of this GPU.

In any case, this machine is further powered by an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX with 32GB DDR5 RAM and two 1TB SSDs. The spec sheet is rounded off by an OLED display with 240Hz, 2560 x 1600 pixels and 100% DCI-P3 color space coverage. It goes without saying that this panel supports G-Sync and offers the usual deep blacks and high contrasts.

Shoppers will also be happy to hear that a copy of 007 First Light is included with the purchase. While the practically maxed-out Acer Predator Helios 16 AI is still a very costly gaming laptop, it can be a better option than building a very expensive desktop gaming PC from scratch. That said, this approach comes with the usual downsides in terms of limited upgradability and loud fans under full load.
