Affordable 32 GB gaming laptop deal returns ahead of Prime Day

A familiar sight has returned on the gaming laptop deals page: the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 AI is available for $1,500 and comes with 32 GB of DDR5.

It pairs a 115 W variant of the RTX 5070 mobile GPU with a 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX, and includes a 1600p 240 Hz IPS display, offering a strong combination of GPU, CPU and panel for the price.

That pricing stands out because most RTX 5070 laptops with 16 GB of RAM are currently above $1,500 and often feature lesser components. With Amazon Prime Day approaching, it is uncertain whether many 32 GB machines will see deep discounts, especially since stock has been depleted since the start of the year amid the ongoing RAM crisis.

Prices could still shift during the event, but this particular configuration compares well to the rest of the market. After spending time with Acer's Predator Helios lineup, the writer says they would buy one with their own cash.
