Cons

Be aware of buying this product. It is unacceptable behaviour and i will not tolerate it. I think the nail in the coffin for me was that the 3.

The helios 300 is a premium gaming laptop that can fail in such short order. The motherboard is fried and quote to fix including labor is over $800. Why would a brand new computer need to be sent in for repair? The audio is so low that you cant even w...  Read More

After about 30 minutes of gaming, the pc is really hot and even the chill pad doesn't help. During gameplay, the my performance drops significantly (i get around 20-30 fps). I have to turn on turbo mode to overlock the cpu and then turn it off in orde...  Read More

The device and acer service are both absolutely appalling! It’s unfortunate that this happened to my laptop because i spent over 1k to get it and now it doesn't work properly. The computer is too * to realize after so many repair diagnostics and troub...  Read More

Even when it is plugged in, it has a tendency to shut down sporadically. It randomly goes into sleep mode while typing. The bt seems totally unresponsive. Is it mouse issue or is it the bt from this the bt of this nb?

Overall i would 1000% recommend, and it is always on sale during the big deal days!


Trial and error becomes a pricey waste of valuable time.


It's a nice laptop for the price.

Shipping


I only gave it four stars because i had to reorder it after it was lost through usps mail.


Reordered it and it was shipped through ups and finally got it!


Ups also crashed the suspense when the product was supposed to be delivered on friday, my birthday, but failed to deliver until monday!

Packaging/appearance


My friends with gaming pcs are jealous af and i can pack it up and bring it to their houses to game!


Would have been nice to know the product came with a sleeve.

Competitiveness


I can't give much helpful insight about how this acer predator helios 300 compares to other gaming computers (or really other c...  Read More

    Runs hot on default settings you need to limit fps in game limit cpu usage in the internal computer settings or have a cooling pad to keep this thing from running hot


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The cooling boost helps this but it can get very warm on unlimited fps without dropping cpu from 100 to 99 in the power settings


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Not a huge chonk that is hard to carry nor a glorified tablet


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Battery life unplugged it is pretty mediocre when gaming but this is not a necessary feature and not expected for a gaming laptop


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    When doing normal browsing battery can be pretty decent


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The 34c34 key has lost some sensitivity and keys in general are not super sensitive


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This is not an issue but if you are coming from a laptop with a real sensitive keyboard you may notice a halfhearted tap will not register on every key
