Acer Predator Helios 300 Gaming Laptop, Intel i7-10750H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 6GB, 15.6 Full HD 144Hz 3ms IPS Display, 16GB Dual-Channel DDR4, 512GB NVMe SSD, Wi-Fi 6, RGB Keyboard, PH315-53-72XD

My older gaming laptop had a touchscreen, DVD-CD player but this one doesnt have these. This laptop has a smaller internal memory, and a newer CPU and graphics card but is more expensive. And my old laptop was 7 years old and failing somewhat but I wouldnt have replaced it yet if it hadnt been ruined by my grandson spilling apple juice on it. It has been an adjustment trying to get this computer outfitted with the software I was used to using and Im still trying to get all I want and need. So those factors influence my rating of this computer. I look forward to being able to do VR once I buy the goggles and get the software; my older computer was not capable of VR. I also admit I dont know how to use some of the features of this computer so I need to learn how to use overclocking, for example. But it is great to have a new, faster computer and, in the final analysis, that is probably most important.

I bought this for my daughter that is studying animation (and may spend a little time with her Sims). Her old computer was adequate for normal school work, but when it came to Maya and some of the other animation programs, it really struggled. The Acer Predator Helios 300 Gaming Laptop has the horsepower to run these programs (and especially the rendering) with no problem. Very happy with this purchase.

This thing is a beast when it comes to gaming. I have had no problems with gaming, and it efficiently renders graphics. For the price, this is the best gaming laptop. Its graphics card is very much found in costly models of computers, but the barebones in this Predator are all I need. It heats the keyboard, though, during gaming, so make sure you get a fan to put under it.

Everything is pretty great! The keyboard is a bit dark and I had to go to BIOS to keep it from turning off, but everything else is pretty good. Very happy with it! It replaced my old weak pc who had died from years of use. Felt good to have a pc that actually does things.

Acer Predator Helios 300 & Triton 500

I switched from a gaming desktop to this laptop since I am working from home now and trying to keep the officer clutter to a minimum.

This replaced my four year old GT72 and I love that its smaller and lighter than that huge beast. My only problem with it is Im having a hard time being able to create and image of the drives (yes, drives since I added another SSD and a hard drive) using Clonezilla. For some reason, it wont let me boot to it and I havent found a fix. In fact, it wont even recognize the bootable USB drive I created but this is a minor point and doesnt take away from the quality of this laptop.

The best laptop Ive ever owned. I can play a lot of games on high settings.

First gaming laptop I have ever owned and the difference is extremely obvious. The helios 300 feels extremely premium and sturdy with the metal chassis and lid, combined with a very colorful and vibrant screen and enjoyable typing experience. I havent done any gaming with it as yet but so far it runs very quiet during regular use. After searching up gaming laptops for months I settled on the helios 300 as nothing else offers this much performance and quality of a build at this price point. Ill update this review in the future if I have any issues but so far I am super happy with my purchase.

Bought this early July 2020, a great all around laptop for the price. I searched for some time to find these specs on a laptop at an affordable price and this is the cheapest I could find with i7+ 144fps 2000+ Graphics Card and enough RAM to game. It’s fast, the dual fans on it are good especially in turbo mode, to help them out more I purchased the Opolar vacuum fan and Liangstar Laptop fan, they all work great together and keep the PC under 105F (highest temp I saw it get to, with an AC running or in winter it doesn’t get above 100F ever), while gaming on ultra mode with background programs even in the hot of the summer without AC on. I also purchased the Samsung EVO 1 TB 860 and added that on, giving me additional space for storage and I store everything on that to keep the laptop’s drive clear to start up the laptop as fast it was originally designed to do so.
