Q: Good day. Trust you are well. Planning a quick visit to America and wanted to order a laptop before I depart. I noted that your price on the Helios 300 is $350.00 more than the price on Amazon? Are there any other differences apart from the 1TB HD?

A: It depends on the exact model as there are differences between models but it can be as little as the hdd size and type. You can view the models from this link: https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/predator-helios300-series Please note if you purchase the system in the US the domestic warranty would be in the US. In addition, the system has an International Travelers Warranty but this is for genuine travelers only. Terms and Conditions are posted at http://www.acer.com/worldwide/support/itw.htm. This page also provides links to the ITW service locations, ITW FAQ, and ITW Service Limitations. Please note if you live outside North America but purchase the system in the US, you will not get a domestic warranty in your country of residence. If local repair and support is important to you, we recommend you purchase the system in the country of residence.

Q: Screen refresh rate? 144hz or 60hz

A: This laptop has a 60Hz LCD panel.

Q: What is the refresh rate for this one. What is the hz?

A: This laptop has a 60hz LCD panel.

Q: Are there any 120 / 144hz versions of this exact one ?

A: Not this exact model. The Predator Helios that supports up to 144Hz is the model: PH315-51-78NP.

Q: Is this the new one that just came out with the 144hz

A: No, this Predator model supports 60Hz refresh rate. The PH315-51 Predator Helios model has support for up to 144Hz.

Q: This model avaliable now? Ican buy it today?

A: According to Best Buy's site, yes this is available for purchase.

Q: What's the RPM speed of the 1 TB hard drive and who is the manufacturer of the hard drive?

A: It is 5400RPM, It is sadly to slow for anything other than files and one of the reasons I returned it. If you want to put games on it or video/photo files for editing you will not want to put anything on this HD. It only has 1 m.2 slot and 1 sata 2.5" slot.
