You won't find a better deal on a 4070-gaming laptop with a good display and powerful processor, esp if you're inclined toward Ryzen architecture.
There have been cheaper 4070 laptops, but they either have noticeably inferior displays, weaker processors, or gimped 4070: for example, HP Victus for $899, MSI Sword for $999-$1099, Legion 5 for $899-$999.

The product page says 4070 but also says 4060 115w. Not sure the deal here.

Comparing those to the I9 HX and 4070

Nowhere does it say 4060 or 115W.
This deal is 4070 140W.

How realistic is it to wait for a 4080 laptop deal soon? I missed out on the Lenovo legion 4080 and 4090 on eBay that you posted

At this price, this year, not gonna happen. Maybe by the very end of the year or early next year, but with chip shortages, global tariffs and inflation, you can pretty much tack on an extra 20-30% onto MSRP for any relevant cards right now. People still selling 5090s for around 4k on eBay xD.

If you don't care about AMD vs Intel, how about deciding between this and the $1,199 Acer Predator Helios Neo 14 at Microcenter (https://www.microcenter.com/produ...an-black)?

  • Intel Core Ultra 9 185H (2.3GHz) Processor
  • 16GB LPDDR5x RAM
  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 8GB GDDR6
  • 1TB PCIe Gen4 SSD
  • 14.5" WQXGA+ IPS Display with NVIDIA G-SYNC 165Hz 3072x1920 Display
  • 2x2 Wireless LAN WiFi 6E (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5.3
  • Windows 11 Home

Couple of things.
You could've checked before copy pasting the link that is the product even available, because it is not. Out of all the states it's only available at one.
Secondly, that's a 14" vs 16" over here. Two completely different size classes. The answer lies to what size you prefer. This would have better thermals than the Neo.

Quick thoughts on a comparison of these two:

The two CPUs are pretty comparable in terms of single core and multi-core performance.. Both laptops have nice screens per the spec, but this Nitro is 16" and about 6lbs and the Predator at MC is 14.5" and 4 lbs. Both laptops have enough ports although the Nitro has it's USB-C and power ports on the back of the laptop.
Acer Nitro:
  • Upgradeable RAM.
  • Available online
Acer Predator:
  • Soldered LPDDR RAM limited to 16GB
  • Probably better battery life when not gaming.
  • Smaller and more portable.
  • In store MC only Frown
For me the choice comes down to
1) Light and portable vs larger screen?
2) Is 16GB RAM enough?

16GB is often enough as long as you don't mind closing out other applications (and all your browser tabs) when you run demanding games. If you know that you'll be using applications that require more than 16GB, you will wan to go with the Nitro and upgrade the RAM to 32GB or 64GB.
On the other hand, if 16GB is enough RAM and you prefer a lighter, more portable machine, then the Predator is appealing for better battery life and a newer CPU.

I have a 16" Acer Nitro with 7840HS and 4070 with the same QHD screen. It games well and the screen gets very bright. It is not super portable, but it does usually last 6-8 hours on battery if I'm not using the 4070GPU.

This deal is 4070 140W.

It does, just further down the page.. "Up to GeForce RTX™ 4060", but it's referring to the series, not this specific unit. The specs tab states 4070 however.

Actually, it literally shows the RTX for AI under Features on the product page as "up to 4060" and "115W," which is probably what confused Brian. However if you click on the Specifications tab next to Features, it shows the 4070, which I would hope/assume is the 140w.

500 nits is pretty good. I think this is a pretty decent deal for what you get.
