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

Bought this to replace an old Asus gaming laptop, after doing a bunch of research. The Helios 300 is not top-of-the-line, and Id prefer an AMD CPU over Intel (whose lunch AMD is eating this generation), but I am not a l33t gamer and I could not get past the value offered by this machine. I upgraded it to 32GB RAM and threw in a 1TB WD Black and its good to go. A fairly resource-intensive (and as-yet not well-optimized) game like 7 Days to Die is playing at 70-80 FPS on Ultra settings (no turbo or other overclocking shenanigans). They keyboard has three or four lighting zones, but never really played with them. You should never put a laptop literally on your lap, at least if it has vent holes on the bottom, but its definitely a Bad Idea with this one. It gets uncomfortably hot on the bottom and unrestricted airflow is a must. Put it on a hard surface. I actually have shims lifting it up a bit at each foot, so theres a good 3/4 space underneath it.

Overall, this started out as an amazing product, however, within the first month of getting this laptop, it gave me nothing but issues. Keys stuck causing issues with gaming, had troubles connecting to any wifi source without immense amounts of time and effort, and just recently, it had a windows update. The computer is too stupid to realize after so many repair diagnostics and troubleshooting that it was a windows problem. It is not letting me Uninstall the last update, therefore I am having to reset the entire computer. MONTHS of work on this computer. Including school documents, gaming work for my stream and SO much more, I have to delete every single file. I didnt think a laptop over 1000$ would cause me enough problems to have to back everything up, but here we are. I, as a tech nerd, know not to get onto any malicious websites on my laptop. I know what sites are sketchy. And all that stupid stuff. This laptop is terrible. I dont recommend getting it at all. And if you already have, I am terribly sorry.

Look no further, the other Acer Helios with all those reviews is last years model. This one came out about two months ago, thus less reviews, etc. The specs on this bad boy are beast. I did a lot of research, and everything else had something lacking that was a deal breaker. This guy has an i7-10750! check, Nvidia Geforce RTX 2060! check, 500 GB SSD.. meh but thats no big cause homeboy comes with TWO expansion slots. And of course, programmable light up keyboard!! CHECK! I really wanted a programmable light up keyboard and couldnt find one with everything I wanted until I came upon this beauty. It runs everything and more that you can think of. Ive been running all types of crazy games at high settings, running adobe suite software and this guy barely purrs. Best purchase Ive made in a while. Seriously just get it.

Love this laptop. I use it for playing games and it works so well. I only gave it four stars because I had to reorder it after it was lost through USPS mail. Reordered it and it was shipped through UPS and finally got it! So glad Amazon was able to get it reordered with no hassle

This hands down is the best laptop I gave ever owned. For the base model it comes with a RTX 2060. The 16 GB is nice and you can update to 32 GB if you want. The extra M.2 and SATA slots address great for upgrades.

great design, very good resolution ...and so far great performance ..... love it

It does everything I expected it to. Good machine.

The laptop is amazing for gaming, streaming and w/e else you want to do with a laptop.

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.

This laptop is just amazing
