    So far, so good. This laptop is very powerful and is working very well for all of my purposes, both gaming and word processing. It takes a while to get used to the part of the keyboard where you type to be moved over to the left, but it is also nice to have the integrated number pad to the right, and personally I like the feel of the keyboard. The noises made when the laptop first opens are a bit loud, but I'm sure there is a way I haven't yet discovered to turn that off/down. And the outside does mark up easily, though also easy to clean up smudges. Battery life is no the best, but I am mostly using the laptop at home and can always plug in. So far, I give it 5 stars (would technically be a 4.5 if allowable)!

    Worked fine for me for about two years, and then one day the laptop made a loud pop noise and shutdown. Ever since then it cannot charge and cannot play games without shutting down. It'll stay on if plugged in but it's useless for gaming. Seems others have had this problem, a MOSFET on the board gave out. Of course it's past the warranty and Acer won't even speak to you once out of the warranty period. Very disappointing.

    This model of the Helios 300 will let you max out settings in most any game and still hit frame rates of well over 150FPS. The upgradability, even including the onboard wi-fi, is the real icing on the cake.

    A nice upgrade from last year's Predator series, runs Cyberpunk 20fps faster and can see a real difference in turbo mode in this model.

    Like the laptop giving 4 stars because using logitech mouse keyboard combo is very glichy with it sometimes working sometimes delayed and staggering moving mouse and keyboard. But laptop itself works well.

    Best part for me is I can add a 2 TB nvme ssd to this laptop. Its got two great GPUS. One being a default Optimus gpu and the new nvidia gpu. Its definitely good for my line of work in engineering. If youre looking to buy, try to buy when the back to school sales come up. Saves a few hundred.

    Sorry for my English, first). So, I,ve bought this laptop with Black Friday deal option, 999$. RTX 3060, and i7 12700, for this money off course one of the best deal. What I like, quality of materials, many metal parts, power- I checked on my favourite horizon zero dawn, it was amazing pics, on full video settings. What I don’t like, size of the screen, I understand this is my choice, but anyway will be better if 16-17 inches. Second thing, impossibility to add 2.5” type of hard drive. For me, it’s diss advantage, I want to add 2.5 - 5tb, and m2- 1tb.

    My only complaint (if you could even call it that) was the annoying boot sound, but thankfully it’s super easy to turn off in the BIOS. Laptop comes with a 512GB M.2 SSD (western digital Black) and has a slot for an additional M.2, so I threw in an additional 1TB drive. Loving this thing so far!
