Score! Save $200 with this Early Labor Day RTX 5070 Ti Gaming Laptop Deal

Labor Day weekend is almost here, but you don’t have to wait until then to take advantage of Labor Day laptop sales. If you’re looking for a solid mid-range gaming laptop, I just found a deal you should seriously consider.

Right now, Best Buy is selling the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S for $1,699. That’s not too bad since you’re saving $200. While this might not be the most powerful gaming laptop out there, it has everything you need to play the best PC games at a sharp resolution and smooth frame rates. Here’s why you should check out the Predator Helios Neo 16S.

Let’s start with the 16-inch display, which is about as good as it gets, thanks to its OLED panel, 2560 x 1600 resolution, and 240Hz refresh rate. It’s hard to return to LCDs once you’ve gone OLED, so it’s good that this machine has that kind of panel. The resolution is also great, especially for a 16-inch display.

Inside, you have an Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU, 32GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD storage. While the graphics card is mid-range, the high-end Lunar Lake processor and generous 32GB of RAM can help dish out serious performance. And as I always say about RTX 50-series laptops, make sure to enable the frame-boosting DLSS 4 feature in games that support it to really get the most from the games you’re playing.

I also like that the Predator Helios Neo 16S has plenty of ports for connecting peripherals like the best gaming keyboard, best gaming mouse and best gaming headset. The ports in question include two USB-C ports, three USB-A ports, an HDMI port, a microSD card slot, an Ethernet port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Port placement is smart, with the USB-A ports on the sides to accommodate peripherals and ports on the back for connecting to an external monitor.

For everything it offers, this Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S Best Buy deal is pretty great. If you’re new to PC gaming or want to upgrade from an older gaming laptop, make sure to take advantage of this deal before it ends.
