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

Great Laptop, given the price, the internal hardware is top of the line at this price point. The Helios does seem to run fairly hot when playing new games (next Gen 2020+) on full settings and ray tracing, often up to 100°c which can be countered with custom fan speed mode or a cooling pad. Which is what makes the Predator Sense key useful as it controls fan speeds and monitors real time temperatures. I use it for Ableton Live with hardware plug-ins and Steam gaming for the most part and never experienced issues. Battery life is insubstantial when gaming, as to be expected. Though for online browsing and streaming its average. Overall would recommend, spent a lot of time comparing to MSI and ROG models and still believe this is the best option.

I bought this for my daughter that is studying animation (and may spend a little time with her Sims). Her old computer was adequate for normal school work, but when it came to Maya and some of the other animation programs, it really struggled. The Acer Predator Helios 300 Gaming Laptop has the horsepower to run these programs (and especially the rendering) with no problem. Very happy with this purchase.

I bought this as a desktop replacement. Its a nice fast little laptop for general work. However, it is noisy (fans) and there does not seem to be a way to control what runs on the GPU. SO, youre forced to run inane processes on the GPU, which causes the fans to speed up and make A LOT of noise. I bought an Acer Nitro laptop for my wife, and its a much nicer and quieter laptop. In retrospect, I wish I had bought two Nitros and did not buy the Predator Helios. Such is life.

well worth the money...if you stream and use a green screen effect like I do this laptop has no problem handling all those things at once...Even works extremely well with adobe premiere when I create content for my gaming channel...

This beast is amazing for gaming, I personally love that it handles any triple A title with ease, my only issue is that it’s a finger print magnet so be careful handling it.

Ive given a lot of thought before giving a negative review for an Acer gaming laptop after successfully buying a few in the past and liking all. This also came in a very high quality and safe packaging with an included pouch. Material quality is top notch as it used to be on predator series. This specific laptops screen was however giving me nightmares since 2 months its been delivered. I use my laptop in a very dark room for more than half of the times and unfortunately this laptop had a major backlight bleeding problem. I know where to mind and where to not so not complaining here for a normal bleed. I added 2 pictures of it, one is in a lowly lit and the other is in a dark room. First time I saw it I didnt panic much believing a replacement would be in no doubt. But neither Amazon nor Acer offered replacement. Adding to my shock was Acers repair offer. For a newly purchased laptop in day 1! It is unacceptable behaviour and I will not tolerate it by buying another Acer product. I suggest anyone reading this to be conscious about Acers customer service policy about faulty items they have sent.

My career requires that I work with mathematical models that require high resolution visualization. I also design 3D animations for documentaries and other video production projects. Until now, Ive worked with non-Windows systems geared for this type of work.

I have had the 2020 predator for a month. I did a lot of research prior to buying this laptop. You get a lot of value for the price. It boots up very fast, just a few seconds to the home screen. It does have some unnecessary bloatware that you can easily uninstall. My laptop has the western digital 512mb nvme w/ 2 expansion hdd slots (1 nvme/1 hdd) and 16gb Samsung 3200mhz ddr4 ram. I swapped out the 16gb ram for HyperX 32gb 3200mhz ddr4 without any issues. I also added 1tb Samsung 970 nvme SSD. It does come with the hdd cable if you want to put in a 2.5 hdd/ SSD. You just need a screwdriver to remove the bottom of laptop case and to screw in the hdd drive ( it already has the cage and 4 screws) . Only drawback to this laptop is battery life is short but you have to expect that as a gaming laptop. You can connect it to an external monitor as well via hdmi. Overall very comfortable with this purchase at $1199 usd.

I love my laptop. It is hands down the best laptop I have ever had. Amazingly fast, graphics are incredible and I love having a pretty keyboard. The battery does not last long at all but that doesnt matter to me.
