This was purshased for gaming & other heavy cpu/gpu usage (video editing)

This laptop had a black screen within 6 month of owning it. I had to ship it back to acer for repairs as they wouldn’t replace it ... that’s a 15-30 day process. I still haven’t gotten it back. ok update I got it back but unfortunately its now overheating and has to go back to acer once again , also they scratched it while repairing it

I purchased this laptop around April 2020. Within less than a year, the GPU fan started to act up. It would stop spinning and my laptop will start to overheat like crazy. I went to several stores to see whats the issue with the GPU fan, and they told me that I wouldve to replace the fan. Its crazy how a fan is broken in less than a year. I would highly recommend avoiding getting predator helios 300 laptop to avoid future malfunction.

I just received my package and wanted to immediately upgrade the hard drive. Much to my utter shock, the most important piece of the laptop was missing, the hard drive. It was just empty there, nada. I have called the customer support for help and they have transferred my claim to another department, so I will have to wait 2-3 business days for that call. It sounds pretty crazy but this is where I am right now. I paid this much money to have such an important piece of hardware missing.

I don’t know what the hell happened, I disconnected my computer from the tv and now my laptop won’t turn on. I wouldn’t recommend plugging it into your tv. However it works well.

Performs well, and not terribly loud. Marginal gains from overclocking at the expense of a dramatic increase in noise. Display is not quite as bright as I would like for a room with lots of natural light but the refresh rate is a plus. RAM and M.2 expansion is painless, however 2.5 SSD expansion is effectively impossible without finding the proper cable. After calling Acer, they pointed me to a third party that produces the proper cable. Too difficult to navigate their web page so I gave up. I have been through two cables from amazon, and they did not work.

compré desde Argentina y no tuve ningún problema. además del costo de la aduana existe un costo adicional del 30% del valor del producto pero aún así está a más de la mitad de precio local. el envío desde el momento que realicé la compra tardó 15 días!! muy poco, he hecho compras locales que demoraron más!! hasta el momento todo funciona perfecto.

The value of this laptop cant be understated. There are no real weaknesses here. The only notable problems people may have with it are the fan noise while gaming and the lack of silent fan operation when not gaming. You wont notice the idle whirl of fans unless you are in a completely silent room with no music or headphones in play.

It keeps disconnecting from Wifi and i work from home and that really annoying.

been trying for two weeks to get help for the mouse pad not working and they keep giving me a run-around that their server is down and that I need to call back.
