> 24 hourBought 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.

> 24 hourI got this Acer Predator Helios 300 Gaming Laptop, Intel i7-10750H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 6GB, 15.6... laptop for my husband, and he LOVES it. The two things I can personally comment on and confirm is that the drivers -do- need to be updated out of the box. He had issues trying to use the laptop out of the box until he did that update and others. The other thing I feel I need to mention is, at the time of purchase Nov. 10, 2019 (arrived on the 13th) the laptop did -not- come with a touchscreen. Lastly, the laptop does get pretty warm. However he has a wood laptop board that he rests the new Acer on, which has large vent holes in it. He hasnt had any issues with it overheating or overactive fan/s. Or anything else wrong for that matter. We are both very pleased with this Acer laptop. When hes not paying games, we watch Netflix and Amazon movies on it. I can watch even when the screen is at an angle. Acer has come a long way since 2007. That old laptop became a paperweight in less than a year, so I had my concerns. This Acer laptop is nothing like that! Im so glad I chose this laptop for the husband. And he loves his new Acer!

> 24 hourWhatever you do, DO NOT buy this laptop. It’ll completely die on you within a month of usage. Please look at other brands besides Acer.

> 24 hourI bought this originally to use with my OCULUS Rift, this is one of three laptops in this category that because of the available Display Port and it runs on high settings no issues. Since the Beginning of this pandemic this has been my workhorse and everyday tool, super reliable and lasts long work hours zero issues zero complaints. One recommendation is that it NEEDS a cooling pad with fans since it runs hot when using the OCULUS Rift, this is a must have. laptop runs normal temp during daily use but needs fans for graphics intensive work. love this thing! :)
