Right now you can save a hefty 15% on the price of this Acer Predator Helios Neo 18 gaming laptop, which packs in some seriously high-end hardware and a massive 18-inch screen. This $300 saving is a limited-time gaming laptop deal, though, so you’ll have to act fast to bag this bargain.
The best gaming laptops in the world pack in just the sort of spec you get on this machine, with Acer squeezing an Nvidia RTX 4070 GPU and Intel Core i9 14900HX CPU into the spec, all backed up with plenty of RAM and storage.
Making the most of this powerful hardware is a large 18-inch IPS LCD, which combines a plentiful 2,560 x 1,600 resolution with a rip-roaring 240Hz refresh rate. That resolution is particularly useful, as it’s slightly taller than the typical 2,560 x 1,440 resolution used in most gaming monitors, meaning you can read that little bit more before having to scroll down.
The laptop RTX 4070 GPU here isn’t quite as powerful as the desktop RTX 4070, with 4,608 CUDA cores compared to 5,888 in the desktop part. However, it’s still a powerful chip that’s ideal for achieving reliable 60fps+ frame rates at the native resolution of this screen, or cranking out frame rates that challenge the 240Hz refresh rate of this panel if you step down to a 1080p resolution.
The Intel Core i9-14900HX is also a very powerful CPU that contains eight P-Cores and 16 E-Cores for a massive total of 24 cores that will churn through any task at breakneck speed. With 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB M.2 SSD, you’re getting a system that is all set for years of top-tier gaming performance.
All this is contained in a chassis that looks simple but is effective, with a clean all-black finish, silver highlights, and an RGB logo on the lid. There’s also RGB lighting all under the keyboard, which offers a full-size layout, including a numpad.
Normally priced at $1,999.99, today’s limited-time deal knocks $300 off, making this the lowest price for this laptop since it went on sale five months ago. Just follow this link to grab yourself a bargain. UK buyers can also save 12% on a similar spec system by following this here link.
