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

Ive had a lot of issues with this laptop. From the very first day I got it, I was cursed with the audio disappearing after installing Windows Updates in a drivers compatibility glitch. I spent almost two weeks trying to fix it. I even called up Acer for help, but they essentially said it was a Windows OS glitch and outside of their scope. Ultimately, what fixed it, was uninstalling the Realtek Driver and immediately shutting down the laptop (do not restart it!). Its worked fine ever since then even after new updates.

I will be returning mine due to severe backlight bleed. It seems like it is a common issue with the Helios 300. Other than that it works very well.

Is it just my unit or does the keyboard on this laptop really suck?

It does exactly what it is designed to do. It plays AAA games with little to no difficulty. I am impressed with it and happy with my purchase.

Awesome gaming laptop. Fans a bit noisy, and sound not great, but over all, a great buy

This is a very good laptop that is very capable of AAA gaming at high settings. It was packaged well with seals to prevent any kind of tampering during shipping. Included was a very basic, but free neoprene sleeve for the laptop. There are no straps or pouches but it is soft and will protect the laptop during travel better than if it were left exposed, but I would still suggest getting a carrying case or a backpack if you do plan on being portable with this. Also included was an HDD upgrade cable and screws in case you want to add a your own 2.5 drive to the empty bay on the motherboard.

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 computer.

The laptop was very disappoting. It has overheated a lot, usually from light internet browsing. It also freezes up occasionally and the internet will often cut off (even when its working in other devices).
