I’ve been a reporter for 18 years, 12 of them spent covering consumer tech. For the past couple of years, I’ve been looking for the best deals out there, and I could not contain my excitement when I saw this stellar laptop for this price.

To say it’s a surprise to see a laptop featuring the RTX 4060 for $970 would be putting it mildly. And yet, here we are; I hope you have your credit card ready.

The Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 was clearly designed to take on any game on the market today, and it was built to last you quite a few years before needing an upgrade. In our review of the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16, we gave it a 4-star rating and concluded it’s a solid performer that won’t break the bank.

With an Intel Core i7 processor and 16GB of memory, this device is beyond fast for both gamers and creators. You can also upgrade to a maximum of 32GB, which you can do later. Throw in the fabulous Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060, and you have yourself a rocket of a laptop.

You’ll be able to play high-FPS games, run heavy workloads, launch hundreds of Chrome tabs, make video edits, and so on. And you’ll be able to switch between them with ease.

The 16-inch LED display has a 165Hz refresh rate, making it perfect for any fast-paced game. The 3ms response time means minimal tearing and blur.
