But I had not heard of there being any real issues with Helios Neo 16. Not that this is a good price when it's a 5070 (non ti). But prices have been crap for a while now.

I don't know that I would ever buy an Acer again without at least a warranty. But then again, my Alienware died 12 days outside of its one year warranty and I was hosed.
I will say that Acer bloat can be an inconvenience, and I find the combination of Intel Smart Sound Technology and Realtek audio controllers to be... Poor at best in my experience. The drivers between the two fought too much for me, and I ended up disabling the Intel SST device, which means I can't use the built in mic array.
Otherwise, I definitely like the laptop
But are all gaming laptops besides lenovo legion and asus g14 going to have very bad battery? People mention how gaming laptops getting hot as well. So it applies to most gaming laptops except the lenovo legion and asus g14? The thing that has me confused is since the asus g14 is 14 inches, doesn't it get more hot and have more issues because the screen is smaller?
Would it have better or worst or same battery if it was say a ryzen 9 instead?
