How does the gpu and wattage for this compare with the other acer refurb 16S with 5070Ti?

Are we looking at only a marginal difference in performance given lower power input?

Thanks for any insight.

You should worry about the damn RAM between the 2 laptops. 50% more RAM would result in 25-35% performance because nowadays, they load all of the game features onto the RAM. That's a critical and super important aspect that people don't talk about or maybe they're just idiots.

I would take the Legion 15.1" at this price over the Acer Predator. Better in almost everyway. Not sure if I would take it over the 5070TI model though even with the price difference. Would be trading noticeably worse build quality and longevity for a LOT more power... but if you don't know the difference between a 5070TI vs a 5060 you probably aren't pushing anything hard enough to make the trade of an extra couple hundred bucks+worse build quality over the Legion.

Or you are buying for someone else, in which case the 16S will be dramatically better than this for some gaming tasks especially cutting edge AAA titles moving forward. I don't play those a lot so would opt for the Legion 5 for 999.99 with a 5060, way better build quality and a OLED. Oh and better battery life, pretty sure it's rough on these ACERs with a Ultra 9.

First download ram to your ssd and then upload it to vram cache and then patch it with latest updates. It hardly takes 10 minutes if you know what you're doing 😉

I bought my kid a predator Helios refurb from eBay a year or 2 ago (has a 4050 GPU). I have been highly impressed by it. It has a 16" display with 400 nits and it looks great. Build quality is good as far as I have been able to tell. It was like brand new when I received it. I only paid $600 for it though. My other kid has a Legion 5 and I prefer the Acer.

RAM is a physical module and cannot be downloaded.

I wish it would have 32gb memory but otherwise seems as a good deal for 16", oled and 1Tb ssd. Two type c ports, i9 processor- maybe not the newest though
