They dont make things like they used to is the old adage that applies well to the Acer Predator Helios. My previous laptop (a Dell) was well built by comparison. There were no hardware issues for years. Then I bought the Predator Helios. To be sure, its fast and colorful - but its cheaply built. Within a few months the keyboard key symbols started to scratch off. Now the right fan buzzes and needs to be replaced. Sure, I could send it off to the Acer support center for repair, but I only have one computer, this laptop - I just need to live with it and watch this thing rapidly fall apart, unfortunately.

Purchased September 2020. The graphics card would crash and force a restarts. Stopped powering on via battery or power cable May 2021. Sent it back for repairs and when it returned the sound card doesn’t work and now windows will not boot.

Just amazingly fast with great display. Battery is just ok like many other laptops. Hope next release in 2021 will add couple more hours to the battery life.

This has a few feautres that are cool, custom keyboard color and fan control; however, the laptop I bought from ASUS for the same price 5 years ago was far superior in gaming quality. I excpected at least the equivalent. Do not buy this for gaming until they realize youre supposed to increase in quality as time moves forward, not the other way around. I was never going to buy from ASUS again after I bought a lemon last time, but gave it second thought. Never second guess yoruself, ASUS is a ripoff company.

My wife uses this laptop. Absolutely love that you can customize the keyboard lights. The keyboards keys look and feel great. Fans are quiet. Runs all the games she plays with ease. Beautiful looking laptop. Looks a like quality, feels like quality, and runs like quality. The software that is used to keep track of and adjust the settings on GPU, cpu, fans, lights, etc is easy to understand and use and provides a good overview of stats. No issues. Love this laptop. Would highly recommend.

This is a great computer. It comes loaded with Killer. Crazy fast. It came packaged correctly so that it was not damaged. I have had trouble with this in the past when ordering electronics online. Believe the reviews and the hype.

Great for the money.

Ive had this laptop for a pretty long time now and it’s the Best laptop ive ever owned. I love PC gaming and have a PC set up but knew I wanted a laptop that could handle some games if I was ever traveling. I honestly mostly use the laptop for watching videos, doing all my school work, and watching Hulu and it’s just such a great laptop. I’ve noticed the battery life isn’t anything crazy, depending on what you’re doing it can last a good while and warns you pretty up well when you need to charge before it’s too late

Okay laptop but completely brined out after 2 years

Fantastic gaming laptop! This is a huge improvement over the Acer Nitro laptop in every way. The 144 hz screen is incredible and it’s hard to go back to standard 60 hz displays after using it. You can push your mobile gaming to the limit but be aware the battery life is not great. The fans can also get extremely loud when playing graphic intensive games. This is a great middle point gaming laptop for anyone looking to game on the go!
