I specialize in tech reviews and try to help potential buyers cut through the hype to find the best products at fair value. Gaming laptops often cost much more than this one. Where is the sweet spot between competitive speed and good value? Read on to learn more:

Excellent product. Runs world of Warcraft at max settings with no issues. Great price for a powerful laptop.

Bought 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.

very happy with my purchase. This laptop is a great performer for the price and would buy again

I cant believe how many positive reviews this has. I bought this laptop twice, and both times it broke in less than a month. The first time I bought it, within a week I got several Blue Screen of Death and then the audio stopped working. I decided to return the laptop and order it again thinking I maybe got a factory defect. Then the next time, 9 days after purchase the screen simply stopped working, when I called Helios support they said it was a hardware issue and Id have to ship them the laptop and wait for them to fix. Im returning it again and getting from another laptop. If in less than a month of use I already got so many issues with two different laptops, I cant believe this would hold for any time.

I use my laptop mainly for work, some for personal reasons, and some for gaming. It handles gaming with ease. Fast, crisp, high frame rate, amazing speed. The screen is great for other uses too, including productivity, videos, etc.

Great simple gaming laptop

This thing can run triple A titles on max or near max settings. An rgb keyboard to customize your style, and sleek aluminum frame for a nice sturdy body.

I bought this as a middle ground to decide whether i wanted to get back into gaming on a computer, or go back to a system. Not gonna lie, thought it was great at first and was tempted to write it a review, but I gave it a bit more time and now i feel like i have a better understanding of it.
