not new, been this price for awhile
Do you see refurbished written anywhere in the title or the link? This is brand new. And it's the first time this has hit this price; the last deal was for $1700: https://slickdeals.net/f/18568378-acer-predator-helios-neo-16-16-qhd-240hz-ultra-9-275hx-rtx-5070-ti-32gb-ddr5-1tb-ssd-1699-99?src=SDSearchv3&attrsrc=Thread%3AExpired%3ATrue%7CSearch%3AType%3Anormal%7CSearch%3ASort%3Arecent%7CSearch%3AHideExpired%3Afalse

Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 has RTX 5070 ti with 170W? I thought max wattage was 140W.

I meant that, in general, there is no RTX 5070 Ti laptop with a 170W power draw.

According to Acer's official spec sheet for this model, the MGP is 170W: https://www.acer.com/us-en/suppor...03/details

It's probably an error then. Many reviews indicate significantly lower wattage, and only the 5080/5090 models have a maximum wattage of 170W.

All 5070TI Mobile draws 140W. Desktop runs at 300W. The 16 will run at 140W while the 16S which I have run 115W with Dynamic Boost. Do not be discourage. You can NVFLASH this easily to make it 125W or 140W too making the 16S a full wattage 5070 TI mobile. All you need to worry about is the additional heat generated which a decent laptop cooler will solve. There are reports some do not see noticeable heat difference.

For a gaming machine like this, OLED or bust.

IPS LCD is so very much outclassed by an OLED display. Gaming or photo work, or video watching are very much an improved tier with an OLED screen.
I recently tried to go back to my Alienware IPS panel for a gaming session after using an OLED for about three years, I couldn't stand it.
