The keyboard has a really nice feel to it and the track pad has all the gestures you would expect. I pinched zoom while typing this review to make it easier to see at a distance. The screen quality overall is FANTASTIC. IPS monitors are simply the best. No TN monitor in the world can compare.
Performance is great and overall temps stay down fairly well (see cons for more info). It got great performance on World of Warcraft and I actually felt like I could raid without being hindered by laptop performance since I usually play on my desktop.
It was able to run Cyberpunk on mid/high settings at around 40 FPS with ray tracing. Which is a lot for cyberpunk. 3090's were only pulling like 76 fps and my 2070 Super was able to get about 55fps with slightly higher settings and ray tracing. So 40 for a laptop with a 2060 is more than decent. Cyberpunk is probably a bad game to compare though really but I havent played very many AAA games on it honestly. I mostly got it for Warcraft and whatever else I felt like installing from steam. So far I have not ran into any real limitations from anything.
The RGB keyboard really stands out and is very nice. I have got several compliments on the keyboard alone from people who dont game or have laptops like this.
The Top lid feels just solid enough. you can easily open the lid without holding down the bottom portion of the laptop.
Pros:
-Fantastic Screen
-Great performance
-Track pad feels amazing
-100% silent when not gaming
-Useful built in applications
-Customizable Bios Splash screen that supports GIF's
-Dedicated Predator button to open the Predator sense app
-Light up Logo on the back
-Free Predator logo soft zip case protector
-Very good speakers and can easily push more volume than you will need
-Very low light bleed through on the bottom of the monitor. Can only see it during completely black screens and its barely there.
-Charger is designed to swivel on the back middle of the base of the laptop. Makes the charger feel very secure due to it being an L shaped connection but also makes you feel secure that you are not going to break the port moving it around. It also has a nice "snap" when you plug it in that lets you know its fully seated correctly. (Doesnt require you to press anything to release it)
CONS
-High temps the first week. I ordered new paste thinking I was going to need to put some custom paste on but before I even got it the temps seemed to even themselves out. Runs average 85c under load with a high of 91c and a resting temp between 48c and 62c
-Fairly Loud while gaming high end games
-No compartment openings on the bottom for easy ram and storage upgrades (can still be upgraded)
-Could have used 1 more USB port. It had 3 USB ports plus 1 USB-C port.
-No SD card slot. (I get it.. its a gaming PC but still. I would have liked it)
-Arrow keys take up a portion of the right shift buttons normal length. I believe this was done to save space but the shorter shift button means for the first couple of weeks I was hitting the Up Arrow instead of the shift. I got used to it though and I mostly use the left shift more than the right and that shift feels fine.
If you have any feelings like you think you may like this laptop.. Just get it. I have got 2 friends to get the same laptop already and they both love it. Neither have had any issues with it either. I also have not had a single crash or blue screen or the slightest hiccup in performance on anything. This is ACER engineering at its finest.
Some downsides :
1-The fans are very loudly when I play games or programs, There are some ways to decrease fan speed by under volt CPU.
2-Battery life is not what I expected, but it's doing its job.
I see this laptop is the best laptop for the year 2020 with the specifications that offering, at this price, highly recommended.

I see this laptop is the best laptop for the year 2020 with the specifications that offering, at this price, highly recommended.
Graphically, the Helios 300 is such a jump above console and I'm assuming with the RTX 2060, a jump above a lot of other gaming computers for the price. So far every game has played flawlessly. I have synced an Xbox one controller both wirelessly and with a USB cable. I've also connected a ps3 controller via USB. The smart controls and built-in button options are awesome. I bought a Razer Essential wired mouse to go with the computer and have really liked the options and customization that came with it.
The screen with 144hz is simply incredible for a built-in screen. I intend to get a second monitor, but do not feel a rush for that. The 500gb hard drive has plenty of game space. I believe counting Warzone I have another 10 games with room to spare. The fan noise is completely acceptable given the impressive packaging, and thankfully it does an incredible job of keeping the temps very low. I have yet to need the turbo button at all. Every game runs on high settings at 1080p. Though adjusting some of the settings is extremely nice to boost FPS as you need to.
One downside is the battery, but in some ways, this is simply irrelevant, I get a couple of hours with lighter games like Age of Empires or even low graphic Rocket Arena. Honestly, though no one is going to play CoD or Apex on the go so this battery is not really a concern. The fact remains is that you get an i7-10 and an RTX 2060 for less than anyone else.
Build quality is very stout minus the screen and upper bezels - they are slightly flimsy, especially compared to my work Macbook Pro. However, the included case should keep it plenty safe should you take it on the go. Though it seems that most laptop gamers actually treat their laptops as stationary "desktops" rather than on the go machines.
I've enjoyed customizing the machine and adding all of the various game launches. Lots of free games to be had out there.
To wrap this up, I can't speak highly enough of this machine. As an entry point to PC Gaming, I feel like I jumped up into the good stuff right off the bat. The Predator Helios 300 is a great gaming PC that can easily hang with most desktop PCs. If you are coming from a console it's genuinely a night and day experience. Welcome to the future of gaming, welcome to affordable high-end gaming.

With the Turbo mode (dedicated button), the laptop has great performance, fans are not noisy. The laptop has all the IOs one requires.
Got this piece for cad 1500 in sale (amidst global shortage of chips) which is awesome. In terms of look and feel of use, its a total winner over others like Acer Tuf or HP Omen etc. (my opinion ofc). The included laptop sleeve is just a cherry on top, with enough thickness to protect it against damage yet sleek and stylish. Packaging was well planned to accomodate the charging brick, the sleeve and the laptop in a very compact box making the unboxing experience 'Plus Ultra' xD. Talking about the charging brick, it's heavy, period!
Tl;dr- good design (for office or home or gaming), okayish battery backup, easily upgradable (SSD/HDD/RAM), free laptop sleeve, powerful and premium laptop, Acer did a good job!

Talking about the charging brick, it's heavy, period!
Tl;dr- good design (for office or home or gaming), okayish battery backup, easily upgradable (SSD/HDD/RAM), free laptop sleeve, powerful and premium laptop, Acer did a good job!
PRO: arrivato in tempi più celeri del preventivato, appena apro il pacco scopro uno stupendo confezionamento (completo di custodia/borsetta per pc), all’accensione il jingle della casa produttrice quasi ti stordisce per la qualità sonora 😍 poi testato con qualche sound e video check con film e musica (passato a pieni voti). Ovviamente il test ufficiale avveniva facendo girare un gioco (Battlefield V): qualità video, sonora, fluidità dei fotogrammi... offrono una totale immersione. Prestazioni eccellenti a mio parere!! Le finiture laterali, la tastiera colorata, la possibilità di cambiare le impostazioni grafiche/video/giri al minuto delle ventole lo fanno diventare un bel prodotto!
CONTRO (da aspettarseli): batteria 🔋 che si scarica in massimo 2/3h se usato per giocarci, quindi in linea; surriscaldamento 🔥 delle unità interne, se ci giochi a lungo preparati a sentire parecchio caldo 50/60^C, per questo motivo uso un pad per raffreddamento laptop.
CONSIGLIATO👍🏼
