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

It’s so smooth

The product itself is great, but no technical specifications are provided (in-box or on their support site) for the additional M.2 slots or RAM compatibility for upgrades. I asked Predator support for information regarding max storage capacity for each M.2 slot because I found information saying that some models were only tested with 512GB drives, with some customers reporting 2TB drives as compatible. I was told that the maximum amount for each slot is only 256GB, which is clearly incorrect since this model comes with a 512GB drive. I also asked what speed each slot would run at when both are filled because some motherboards do not support two full-speed PCIe devices, such as the X570 Aorus Master in my desktop computer. I received no answer.

Good laptop

Look no further, the other Acer Helios with all those reviews is last years model. This one came out about two months ago, thus less reviews, etc. The specs on this bad boy are beast. I did a lot of research, and everything else had something lacking that was a deal breaker. This guy has an i7-10750! check, Nvidia Geforce RTX 2060! check, 500 GB SSD.. meh but thats no big cause homeboy comes with TWO expansion slots. And of course, programmable light up keyboard!! CHECK! I really wanted a programmable light up keyboard and couldnt find one with everything I wanted until I came upon this beauty. It runs everything and more that you can think of. Ive been running all types of crazy games at high settings, running adobe suite software and this guy barely purrs. Best purchase Ive made in a while. Seriously just get it.

The first one arrived with a defective keyboard - the „w“ key didn‘t work properly. Amazon was great and sent a replacement. The replacement arrived and the audio jack didn‘t work. So we are returning this one. We‘ll be looking for a different brand. I must say Amazon was great. Both times I was able to speak to a real person who quickly and efficiently processed the replacement and then the refund.

Bought this early July 2020, a great all around laptop for the price. I searched for some time to find these specs on a laptop at an affordable price and this is the cheapest I could find with i7+ 144fps 2000+ Graphics Card and enough RAM to game. It’s fast, the dual fans on it are good especially in turbo mode, to help them out more I purchased the Opolar vacuum fan and Liangstar Laptop fan, they all work great together and keep the PC under 105F (highest temp I saw it get to, with an AC running or in winter it doesn’t get above 100F ever), while gaming on ultra mode with background programs even in the hot of the summer without AC on. I also purchased the Samsung EVO 1 TB 860 and added that on, giving me additional space for storage and I store everything on that to keep the laptop’s drive clear to start up the laptop as fast it was originally designed to do so.

Not just because it has amazing potential for upgrading, but it runs fairly quiet considering the graphics card is an RTX. The fans have metal blades and I think that accounts for the bit of noise that kicks in when you go to overclocking mode. All in all I have already put in a 1 TB HDD and a 1TB M.2 SSD, very pleased.

Im in love with this laptop. It runs so smooth and I can play Modern Warfare faster on here than on my XBOX One X. Graphics are phenomenal and I recommend buying this! I went through 6 gaming laptops before I found this one that actually performs as advertised!

I switched from a gaming desktop to this laptop since I am working from home now and trying to keep the officer clutter to a minimum.

It was a perfect price with RTX 2060 and also I got good FPS almost any game with high quality. Fans are good, performance is good.
