While I really do enjoy this laptop for the couple of weeks Ive owned it, whenever I plug my headset in and try to talk while playing games with friends or typing, all they can hear is garbled noise and static. Apparently even having a small amount of pressure on the left hand side of the keyboard (e.g. my palm resting on it when over the WASD keys), it completely cuts out my microphone audio. Given that I bought this laptop for gaming, this is an absolute deal breaker for me. Deeply disappointed and already sent in a claim for repair/replacement, will update my review should they be able to fix this.

I want to point out ive only had it a week and will update if anything changes about my review. Overall, before I get into details, I am very satisfied with this laptop and it’s performance.

I love this, it shipped so fast, and the quality is great!! No problems and the laptop runs smooth

Excellent

I’m just going to be real with everyone. I purchased this laptop after careful consideration. It seemed like the best bang for my buck. I had the laptop for two weeks. I was running Destiny 2 on max settings. The last night I was using the laptop I was running the system with its preset turbo feature and the system suddenly lost power. I could not restore power. I opened up the under panel and I could smell a burned motherboard. Now I have to send the laptop to acer for repairs. I spent nearly $1700 for this laptop after taxes and shipping. The laptop shouldn’t have this problem while operating under preset settings under normal environmental conditions. I highly suggest buyers choose a more reliable system. I regret buying this laptop.

***EDIT*** ***The Pictures of the Laptop open are a before and after, It does have a WD SN730 Nvme M.2 Pci-e SSD but I also added a 250GB Samsung 970 Evo Plus NVMe V-Nand M.2 Pci-e SSD I had laying around to the build and its very very simple to take off and upgrade, just a few screws and pull from the back where the exhaust fans are located and it also has an extra Nvme Screw as well*** I build PCs on the side and have for years this laptop CAN DO IT ALL, it has a great CPU the Core i7-10750H with 6 cores and 12 threads which is plenty for modern gaming and 12Mb of Intel level 3 smart cache and its paired with the BEASTLY NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 6GB GDDR6 laptop gpu, which is Overclockable with the touch of a button and has 3840 Cuda Cores and 30 2nd generation Ray Tracing cores also its running 336Gb/Sec on a 192 bit memory bus interface which runs at 14Gb/s and sits around 11 Teraflops of graphical power from a LAPTOP, think about that! I have pushed this thing to its limits Days Gone PC version thats just released on the 18th I can play MAXED OUT setting on everything and it never dipped below 90fps and my average was around 124-127fps, this thing is just as powerful as my RTX 2070 Super Gaming X Trio gpu in my one desktop, I own an RTX 2080 Ti, RTX 3080 but theyre all Desktop Gpus but it definitely gives the 2070 Super Desktop GPU some good competition without a doubt. And its Ampere 8nm architecture so newest Nvidia technology compared to 12nm Turing architecture, and the screen is absolutely gorgeous playing day or night with a true IPS display running at 144Hz @ 3ms, if you want a SOLID GOOD LAPTOP FOR GAMING, this is it, the ACER Predator Helios 300 cant be beat and I own Asus/Origin/Dell etc etc laptops as well and nothing ever Beats my ACER LAPTOPS, and this beauty is made of a nice metal and sturdy plastic on certain parts but mostly metal and u can see the quality ACER put into this laptop, and yes the PREDATOR symbol on the screen lights up and its perfect for letting others know you mean business lol I recommend 100% for the bang for your buck! Thats it thats all I got for ya

I use this laptop for casual gaming only. It runs all the latest games extremely well and the cooling features are incredible. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great casual gaming options.

Cuando me llegó la laptop me sentí emocionado, pero cuando la conecté a su cargador (sin prenderla) sentí como se llenó de estática o corriente, haciendo que todo el equipo vibrara incluso apagada, creí que era normal en la primera carga hasta el 100%. Después de un día siguió igual y más notoria la vibración y estática en todas partes del ordenador mientras estaba apagada con el cargador. Pedí un reemplazo a los dos días. Aquí estoy esperando a que envíen uno sin ese complejo.

I originally bought this in April for the dual purpose of work from home and playing video games. It runs most modern games decently well, which you would expect given the staggering price tag, but you had definitely pray that nothing goes wrong with your machine because Acer support absolutely 100% does not have your back.

El producto llego en excelentes condiciones!
