- 32GB memory and 1TB SSD
A 240Hz OLED screen for gaming and other work
The 2560 x 1600 OLED panel is the standout feature here. Its 240Hz refresh rate gives the screen the ability to display up to 240 updates per second, although achieving that in a game depends on the game, graphics settings and hardware.
The RTX 5070 Ti is a laptop GPU, not the desktop card with the same name. If performance in a particular game is the deciding factor, look for independent tests of the laptop and its power configuration rather than assuming all similarly named GPUs perform alike.
The 32GB of RAM gives the system room for multitasking. Its 1TB SSD stores Windows and games, with usable capacity reduced by the operating system and other files. Check upgrade options if you keep a large game library installed.
Look beyond the discount
Acer lists Wi-Fi 6E, Ethernet and Thunderbolt connectivity. Compatible equipment and cables are needed to use the features of those connections, and external monitors have their own resolution and refresh-rate limits.
The $740 reduction uses Best Buy’s displayed comparable value, not a verified historical price. This is still a premium laptop; compare its OLED screen and 32GB configuration with less expensive RTX 5070 Ti alternatives before deciding.
