Acer is feeling the love and is offering a number of great deals on top-of-the-line gaming laptops, including the Acer Nitro 5 and Predator Helios 16.
The Acer store is packing some serious heat this Valentine's Day, revealing its huge offers that are issuing major discounts to some of the best gaming laptops on the market. The most immediate deal on the site is a discount for the Acer Nitro 5 AN517-55 Windows 11 laptop with a 17.3” screen for only £1,049.99 with a new deal across many laptops on the site. Buying the laptop brand new is troublesome for many as it’s out of stock with many retailers, so this is an offer that could help a lot of users get the kit they’ve been looking for at a great price.

It also has a heap of ports to make sure you’re connected to all of the additional monitors and SSDs that you could possibly need, with HDMI 2.1, USB 3.2, and Thunderbolt 4 inputs.
The Acer Nitro 5 is a great way to get into PC gaming, especially with the opportunity to use its MUX switch technology to trade in some battery life for better performance – although many have decried the bulky and predominantly plastic form factor of the laptop, with PCMag journalist, Matt Elliott, saying that "the plastic chassis is clunky, the display isn’t the brightest, the keyboard is only so-so, the touchpad is tiny, and the webcam is terrible." Other than that, though, the laptop offers a pretty affordable means of getting involved in PC gaming, and with the deal on the Acer site offering £200 off, there’s no better time to get stuck into it.
Along with the Acer Nitro 5 is a huge deal for the Predator Helios 18 gaming laptop, offering customers the chance to buy it for £2499.99, at a huge £700 off, with bonuses of an extra 5% off bringing it to £2,375 (making for a total saving of over 25%), a copy of , six months of + Classic, and a free Predator wireless controller.

The biggest flaw with this device is, of course, its price, truly standing as a top-of-the-line product with a price tag to match, but though of the laptop claimed that the machine's large chassis made predominantly from plastic "doesn't scream premium for the price," it's packing an awful lot of power under the hood with a GeForce RTX 4090 GPU from Nvidia, i9 processors and AI-powered RTX to ensure that your games look absolutely as good as they can. It's got a lot of punch that will be especially useful in online competitive gaming.
