A 16-inch gaming laptop is desirable but make it an RTX 4070 model for $1,200 and I'm in
Acer Nitro 16 | RTX 4070 (140W) | Ryzen 7 7840HS | 16GB DDR5 | 1TB SSD | 165Hz IPS | 2560 x 1600 | <a href=«https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=HlvbvYZP82I&mid=44583&u1=hawk-custom-tracking&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newegg.com%2Fobsidian-black-acer-nitro-16-an16-41-r9zh%2Fp%2FN82E16834360351» data-link-merchant=«newegg.com»" target="_blank">$1,299.99$1,199.99 at Newegg (save $100)
A decent $100 off the Nitro 16 here, and it was a reasonable affordable gaming laptop anyways. The 140W RTX 4070 paired with an AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS is a powerful combo, and one which this laptop shares with much pricier models.
A 14-inch gaming laptop is convenient, but if you can't spare the screen space or you don't mind the extra heft, a 16-inch is the ideal step-up. Luckily, there are heaps of excellent 16-inch laptops available, and some with pretty tasty discounts, including this Acer Nitro 16.
You can grab this laptop for $1,200 over at Newegg. That's $100 off the asking price but it's already a pretty well priced laptop considering what you get. That includes an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070, AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS, 16GB of DDR5, and a 1TB SSD.
The GPU is the star of the show. It'll deliver a lot of the oomph required to actually reach the maximum refresh rate on the 2560 x 1600 panel included on the Nitro 16 in some games, and if you have DLSS enabled you'll get close in others. That's a pretty demanding combination for any laptop, but a 140W RTX 4070 like this one found in the Nitro 16 will deal a whole lot better with it than most mobile GPUs we've seen available in the more affordable laptop market.
The CPU is one of our absolute favorites: AMD's excellent Ryzen 7 7840HS. Not only is this an eight-core and 16-thread machine, it comes with the 780M iGPU that powers many of today's handheld gaming PCs. That might not seem like a benefit when you have an RTX 4070 on the side, but it means you don't need to run that GPU unless absolutely necessary, saving heaps of power.
