Finally a detail and complete video review of this laptop

@soumyaripan5131 Год назад

The predator helios series laptops are built like tanks after the 2018 models. I have a 2019 17" model with RTX 2060 graphics. It has been going through pretty intense workload everyday since I have bought it, given I am a VR game developer. This machine has never made me worried about anything. I am happy finding a company whose performance laptops I can trust on.

@dman1985 Год назад

I have the same one, unfortunately the gpu crapped out on me last week.. Had been running strong for 2 years for multiple hours everyday

@rodgermurphy5721 Год назад

I have exact same but 2020 version and I love it

@Roberto-nj5yr Год назад

Yes while the Helios 2019 and newer models are indeed built better, however the 2018 is not bad either. I am still rocking one since 2018 with Core i7 8750H, GTX 1060 6GB, 32GB RAM. After undervolting and repasting, it was one of the fastest 8750H + 1060 combo of that time, leaving behind every other similarly specd laptops in the dust. Acer rocks!!

@alec57 Год назад

I had the Helios 300 from about 3 years ago and you could probably bake eggs on it while gaming. Even with an undervolt. Glad to see they fixed the temp issues.

@Fiture_Krisna Год назад

@teddym2808 Год назад

For anyone curious, with the MSI GE67 with 12800HX, I got a best of 8700 in CBR20. It only has 4 extra threads compared to this and was able to run over 4ghz on the P cores which is pretty sick for a 15" laptop. Sadly I returned it due to touchpad issues as well as a really bad bug that screws up the graphics in optimus mode (everyone has it, no fix yet but it drove me insane in a day, that was all it took). in dGPU mode though, the OLED screen was just stunning. This Acer is a good laptop but it's just too loud for me sadly, I have a limit. Sticking to my 2021 Legion 7i for now then with 11800H and 3070.

@DeismaGames Год назад

watching this on my helios 300 right now. i have the same specs as you however i have the version with the big predator symbol on the back. I have really enjoyed my helios, the only issue ive had is dealing with windows 11 as i havent dealt with the OS until now. a lot of reviewers complain about the fan noise when its on turbo, but i personally dont mind it. you even mentioned thats its annoying even with headphones on. with my HyperX headphones i havent really been hearing any noise from the fans when playing my games. which, the only time i do turn on turbo mode is when im playing AAA games like Call of Duty so with the loud gameplay you wont be able to hear anything outside of your headphones, not even the fans. but if you are just a casual gamer and play things like the sims or rimworld or stardew valley or even minecraft (without shaders) you wont have to worry about using the turbo mode. So dont let the fan noise discourage you from buying this laptop. I also want to thank you about telling me about the MUX switch! i didnt know what that was until i watched this!

When the fans start rattling and you clean them and they start rattling again and you get stuck in the loop,flip the laptop upside down when you turn it off and let it sit overnight,the fans slide down their post and rattle on the fan cage,I started doing this 3 months ago and it works,hasn't rattled since.

The design is great and it can ready stand out but the previous models doesn't have a MUX switch plus the TDP is low. Still, the remaining cons thay was still here for the unit was the fan noise.

No sd card slots. Only 3 USB ports all on the sides. Runs a bit hot if GPU enabled. 3070ti version. Needs a desk. Not a lap laptop. Loaded out w trial Norton ultra and office 365 plus some other bloatware. I like it so far. Don't think it's a good mining target due to the heating. Fans really are loud and they need to be on if GPU is active. Have not noticed a battery drain in turbo mode. It's fast. Wifi has been great. HDMI to external monitor looks to be limited to 144hz. Haven't tried dp to do yet.

I bought this laptop on sale for 1800$ from Best Buy. I was looking to replace an old HP model. Did tons of research but for the specs and my needs (gaming only and pretty much in house not caring it around etc) I set a 2K budget. This was at the top of my list. So far I’m loving it…I use an external cooling pad and yeah it gets a bit warm from time to time turbo mode helps a lot, yeah it’s loud but with headphones on it’s alright. I rather my laptop be cool than cooking (like my old one). I don’t know if it will hold up but it seems solidly built. Honestly does everything I expected and more.

in my experience, the PredatorSense lies to you. for a long time it kept telling me that the temp was at a slightly above temp than normal. that's fine, its just a little dust and my room has little ventilation. nothing to worry about for now. when i would touch my laptop, it would be hot enough to make me wince after a bit of touching the platform above the F1-F12 keys. after a while, i decided to clean it. the amount of dust was insane. after i cleaned it, the laptop was a lot less hot. i could touch it with no issues during heavy gaming. but guess what? PredatorSense still shows that my CPU and GPU temps are same as before i cleaned the dust. not sure how this thing comes up with those numbers. i would've cleaned my laptop a lot sooner if it told me the truth. I'm a bit worried that my CPU and GPU might be damaged due to heat now

i have a Helios 300 w/c i got earlier this year that has an i5-10300H CPU paired with an RTX 3070 laptop GPU with a 1080P 144hz display with a free an acer gaming chair, keyboard, mouse combo. all for 1100 USD here in the Philippines -- inflation prices considered. so far it's quite fast and good with games. i've recently upgraded its SSD by adding another nvme ssd and bumping up the RAM to 64gb.

Kumusta yung 64gb na ram bro also the brand tsaka magkano na gastos mo? Hehe. Balak ko rin upgrade ram ko.

@@gabbituin6269 so far bro nasusulit ko sya kapag mas matagal kong nagagamit ito (prior reboot) sa mga general workload like browsing/office/productivity apps. sa games, i think 16gb ngayon ang baseline kaya wala akong napansin na speed improvement... maybe rather hindi bumabagal keeping yung mga productivity apps running along w/games.

Having te ethernet port on the side instead of the back is silly, that is the second biggest, most annoying stiff cables after the power supply. There is ample room at the back by looking how spread out those ports are. They could have fit an extra USB type C port at the side instead.

Believe it or not that terrible keyboard would kill it for me. I love a good typing feel. Which is sad because the rest of it sells itself. Do you have a recommendation on one with a great keyboard but does not break the bank?

@watts1841 2 года назад

Agreed! Wish I didn't appreciate the feel a good keyboard so much. You hate that reason alone can be a deal breaker!

I am debating the dell g15 5520 (120hz) and the Helios 300 (165hz) both are about 1500$ before tax and the specs are very similar. I have seen a lot of criticism on acer cause of the “brand” difference saying dell is just better cause it’s “dell” but I don’t buy that. I am leaning on the Helios but wanted y’all’s opinion.

I'd recommend the geek squad 3yr warranty. And that bumps it to 1600 easily. Ssd/mem upgrades, well, you can guess how those add up too. I'd say wait at least till July4th independence Day. Might be some better deals around then.
