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

So far its been great. Packaging and presentation were on point and the keys and mouse are so smooth!

2 Acer laptops defective out of the box within a week of each other. First was a Nitro 5 from Best Buy, the 2nd was this Predator. This one the track pad wasn’t installed correctly and had the top right corner above the plane of the surrounding surface.

I love this Laptop and it runs really well! So far its been really silent, but I havent been playing any high end games yet. The battery life is short, but it really makes up for it in every other feature. For anyone who wants to play high end games, please make sure that after you set up your laptop that you immediately go into your settings and update your computers drives. After restarting your laptop go into your web browser and download the latest Nvidia Drives. This guarantees that your laptop will be at its optimum settings when running any game at high end. The keyboard is smooth to the touch and well spaced for me, which was a worry as I have large hands. The screen is a 15.6 , but it feels slightly bigger which is also a plus. Overall a great purchase.

This is not reflective of the laptop itself, this is Microsoft being Microsoft. Your idle temperatures, out of the box, are going to rest as high as 70 to 80 degrees Celsius. Yes, you read that right. Windows 10 has implemented a protocol that uses only 2 of the 6 CPUs at rest, which for a PC works out fairly well but for a laptop is a thermal nightmare. Dont panic. A minor adjust of the max processor state from 100% to 99% should fix this issue and there are several YouTube videos out there that will show you how to do this. Make this the very first thing you do after you apply all the updates to the OS and video card. Second is switching the global setting in the NVIDIA control panel in 3D management from auto to NVIDIA preferred. Third is to make sure you give those rear fans some room to breathe- I give them about 1.5 inches standoff from the resting surface.

I bought this after an Asus desktop died on me within a week. So, as soon as I got this one I stress tested it with MS flight sim 2020. I couldnt be more pleased. It has ran everything I tossed at it so far. I added a 500 GB WD Black M2 and that was super easy. Acer has hooked you up in the additional memory area be it M2 or 2.5 there is room for either or both. Keys feel great, screen is great but I keep mine on an Asus monitor w mini display port connects, razer black widow keyboard and viper mini mouse. I study networking at school and have ran virtual machines off this computer as well. BTW when you disconnect external monitors, turn of the keyboard lighting and set the battery to power saver, you will get 6 or so hours of school type use out of this machine. Start up a game and spool the GPU and battery life will drop fast though. Also, be sure to plug into wall power before gaming or it will throttle performance big time for battery life.

Sorry folks...but by the time you read this review, you missed out on two things:

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.

Got it for my travel nurse gigs and it works great. Keeps me entertained while Im off work and unable to go out because I work night shift.

this lap top looks cool but...
