This laptop performs as advertised, Delivers high frames for most AAA games.

This is my first gaming laptop and I bought it to use it accordingly, also for work and college. I’ve being using it for a month now and I am very happy with my purchase. I very happy whit the quality of the product and its components. It is fast and can play games fluently.

If there were no underlying issues with this laptop I would rate as 5 Stars and higher recommend. However, having owned this laptop for less than 30 days Ive experienced too many issues and am returning for a refund. First and foremost is the random shutdowns that occur without warning or provocation (i.e laptop idle/not overheating), refusing to open desktop applications or games (particularly Steam games), and restart times in excess of 10 minutes when system locks up. What convinced me to return and not purchase another Helios 300 are the number of people on the Acer support forums that have experienced similar issues without resolution. If you purchase and dont experience these issues, congrats on having an amazing gaming laptop that runs games excellently, that hasnt been my experience and must caution: buyer beware.

Amazing for gaming and streaming. Works perfectly.

I was worried about the price and buying it online, but now I wish I got this sooner! The graphics are a game changer and the keyboard isnt loud when typing rigorously. It can be used for Adobe, games, and can be excellent for work from home people.

Any game u throw, it can run

So I compared this one to the performance of a Lenovo Legion 5 that sported an AMD Ryzen 5800H CPU/3050Ti GPU. The Ryzen scored better in Cinebench but the Helios scored better in Heaven due to the 3060. The fans didnt ramp up to bad in both Cinebench and Heaven but the CPU did throttle peaking at 94c. Cinebench score was 12594, Heaven, it scored a 5034 with 406 FPS max. I then ran the same tests using the turbo mode and extreme profile to see what difference it made. The CPU ran much cooler and scored better in Cinebench with a 12824, GPU stayed cooler as well, but performance for whatever reason, slipped. In Heaven I recorded a score of 4264 with 365FPS max. Thought those numbers to be a bit odd, you would think using the extreme mode it would be pulling better numbers on the GPU. I loved the keyboard on this, much more customizable then the Legion 5 was, another thing you can customize in software is the boot logo. The laptop also makes this kind of cool musical tone when you first boot it up which Ive never seen before. Gonna have to find out how that is done and try doing it myself. The IPS screen looks absolutely amazing on this. Power supply is a 230 watt unit and this also comes with a carrying case of sorts that you can put it into. Like I said I compared this to my Lenovo Legion, which is priced about $200 less. All in all, it was very hard to say which is the better machine. There are pluses and minuses to be found in each one, but I think you are getting your moneys worth either way.

Most games look like irl and have a very great frame rate speed. Not all game need turbo or extreme mode to run flawlessly which is nice.

Got it for son to use at college. Work and gaming. Loves it.

Amazing laptop love everything about! Amazing quality and durable had over 4 months and using in a deployed environment amazing at its sturdiness! Crystal clear graphics. Keyboard is very good. Love the personalization that you can do as well. Would buy again.
