RTX 5070 Ti gaming laptops creep around the $2,000 price mark far more often than they drop below it. Today's $300 discount marks a below-average dip for the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S AI, then, especially seeing as you're getting close-to-RTX-5080 performance while staying well clear of those prices.

This is a particularly low price for an RTX 5070 Ti machine with 32GB RAM in 2026. Best Buy only has a handful of gaming laptops with that GPU for less cash on its shelves, and they all halve your memory. For

, with only lesser-known brand Hasee offering an RTX 5070 Ti gaming laptop with 32GB RAM for less than this Acer Predator price point.

Value's certainly on Best Buy's side in this week's cheap gaming laptop deals, then, but is the Helios Neo right for you?

from my testing pool. While it couldn't quite keep to 60fps in Cyberpunk 2077 across QHD+ benchmarks, you'll only need a few minor graphical tweaks to keep those numbers steady.
