The laptop is just great, the screen with 300 nits, per-mechanical keyboard, all the top port you may need and the performance is just awesome. Overall the screen its very bright i always use it at 70 - 75% as i work in an office without a window but at 100% you can work in a bright environment and see all the details on your screen enjoy the warm colors and deep blacks.
Speakers are also very good even just with 2 its very loud and overall good sound for a laptop with DTS.
The performance is just awesome i upgraded the RAM up to 32Gb DDR5 spent the extra buck
NVIDIA RTX 3060 with 6VRAM is well enough to play all games you want with high to middle graphics
The 20 logical processors are more than needed and im always multitasking.
DOWN
Acer support is the WORST that i ever could expected as i contacted them with a wifi 6 issue which instead of helping me fix the ask me to ship back and get a new one replacement.
Drivers, the Acer page has almost all of the just the audio drivers are not there it was a pain in the sas finding the DTS to get the correct volume and rich sound that i've before i did a clean reinstall of windows.
Overall the hardware and configuration surpass my expectations, i completely recommend to but this one just don't make a clean windows installation.

Good laptop. I’ve been playing apex, red death, halo infinite, getting 165 fps. Coolers are a bit noisy but it’s good cooling, keeping GPU and CPU under 60.
Would be better with a 2tb SSD.
Keyboard feels good but is uncomfortable for small hands lol
Having all kind of ports is great, Mini DP works good (with good monitor)
There are better options nowadays for the same price

I got it on black Friday sale in 1000$. It worth the price. But full price is overpriced.
So far no problem with the laptop. Smooth. Cool starting sound. Gaming is smooth.
But when gpu works, the fan got so loud if u don't use headphones that might become a problem. However Every gaming laptop has this issue more or loss. Also power backup isn’t that great if u play game. U have to put it on power.

Bought this after my lenovo blew up its processor. I love this little laptop its powerful enough to run all the games I play including ark survival evolved without problems. If you need the best bang for the buck this is a good one to look into.

This Helios 300 is a great laptop with great thermal management. The build quality is nice with a metal lid and deck. The keyboard is very responsive and stylish with the white sides of the key caps. The mouse pad is nice and smooth. Although I do not like the click feel of the pad. I do like the I/O layout with ports at the rear for better cable management. Upgradeability is nice and I was able to install a second SSD with ease. Gaming on this laptop is great, I'm able to play games like Jedi Fallen Order at max settings with ease. I do use and external monitor and xbox controller. The fans at idle are non-existent but as expected while gaming they will get loud. The battery life is decent but I keep the laptop plugged in for max performance. Overall This is a great machine and even better if you're able to pick it up on sale.

Hello, bought this when it came out and honestly surprised still, its 2023 almost 2024 and I have no issues with it, It just gets a little heated up when I play really big games like Rust or Star Citizen, but other than that specs and graphics are awesome I can literally play on high graphics!

Great machine, a bit too heavy for me. The charging block is huge. I liked everything about it except the weight, the keyboard didnt stay lit up unless you were typing, and the touchpad was the slightest bit loose and made a clicky noise. Overall runs smooth and the slightest bit noisy but not bad

Bought this during Black Friday of 22' and it remains just as amazing even two years later. Handles all the games I've played with ease. The 165hz display helps with FPS games like CS and Valorant.

As of the time of writing, I've had this laptop for a year now. In that year, I've put this laptop through intense gaming, hours of coding, and 3d modeling. It has withstood all tasks that were thrown at it, and has been an amazing laptop for a college student who games as a hobby!

I purchased this laptop from Best Buy in Elizabethtown KY on sale $200 less than regular price. The computer performs better than I expected and far exceeded my expectations. Plays all modern games at maximum settings and also works very well with Software Defined Radios. The screen is bright and very sharp and audio is not bad for built in speakers.
