Now may be the best time to be in the market for a new Acer laptop or desktop. Acer has marked several devices across the popular Nitro and Predator lines at multiple retailers to celebrate Intel Gamer Day. If you haven’t yet picked up a new computer from one of the many Back to School 2023 sales, it’s not too late to pick up a quality device with an Intel CPU and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40-series GPU without draining your bank account.
Of all the devices sold, the Acer Predator Orion 7000 prebuilt desktop offers the deepest discount, with $1300 off Newegg’s price. Granted, the Predator Orion has some last-gen features. However, it’s still a perfectly capable gaming rig that’s VR-ready and suitable for playing all of today’s latest games—yes, even Starfield—without issue.
This pre-built has an Intel Core i7 12700K (12th gen) with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 clocked at 3.6G GHz. 32GB of DDR5 RAM makes this machine excellent for anyone looking for a desktop capable of 3D editing and video editing. While a 1TB PCIe and a 2TB HDD gives you plenty of storage

Both deals include a bonus copy of Nightingale and Assassin’s Creed Mirage.
Of course, if you’re picking up a prebuilt one, you might want to consider throwing in a monitor to go with it. Acer Predator XB283K 28-inch UHD is a 2K IPS gaming monitor that supports 144Hz refresh rate with 1ms response time and is FreeSync/G-Sync compatible. During Intel Gamer Day, it’s available with a $100 discount, making it just $499.
Acer laptops also hit the chopping block as part of this sale, with the Predator Triton 500 SE priced at a remarkable $680 at B&H. This 16-inch laptop has an Intel Core i7-12700H (12th Gen) and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti with 8GB GDDR6 VRAM and 16GB memory. This special deal is good only until September 3 or while supplies last. It’s definitely more likely that these Acer laptop deals are out of stock, as another Predator Triton 500 SE laptop was also marked down for $1130 but has been discontinued due to out of stock.
The Intel Gamer Days sale is also a great time to pick up a laptop from the Acer Nitro 5 line, as there are deep discounts across several of these laptops with different CPU and GPU combinations. The top Nitro 5 gaming laptop deal comes from Acer, with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti combo with an Intel Core i7-12700H slashed by $700, making it just $1049.
