    The 15.6" screen is bright and with gsync and 240hz, it's buttery smooth. The 3070Ti video card can drive the 1440p resolution great with anything you want to throw at it at the time of this review. 16GB DDR5 is a bit lower than I would prefer but RAM right now is cheap and it's easy to upgrade. CPU is more than powerful enough to handle anything you need it to. If I have any complaint at all, the keys are a bit small for my bigger hands. I love that it has a full numeric keybpad, but it might have served the end user better to leave that off and just go with bigger keys.

    Helios 300 TOP

    This Acer is a powerful and versatile laptop with an impressive QHD display. Its efficient cooling system with turbo mode keeps the laptop cool during intense tasks (It is not necessary to use it most of the time, not even in games). Though not the lightest, it delivers exceptional performance, achieving over 240 fps in CS:GO :P. The RGB per key backlit keyboard adds a stylish touch. A top choice for gamers and performance seekers. One thing to note is the relatively short battery life, so it's recommended to use it connected for optimal usage like any gaming laptop

    Good hardware and design. Room for upgradeability for RAM and SSD. Only downside is the bloat that is preinstalled, but its easy enough to remove.

    Great value and well designed. the perfect balance of performance and portability. There does not appear to be any bottlenecks with underperforming or overperforming components. Ya, the battery is sucky but this is not a tablet either. At this price you're not going to get everything. just plug it in.

    one of the best laptop at this budget, it will easily run all AAA titles, Regarding the speakers, it was not loud, looks like they are (DTS X) customized for gaming, it will differentiate sounds a lot, but not for songs and movies(it still works with minimal sound) At this specs, the weight is minimal compared to others,, because it didn't use lot metal alike in Predator previous versions.

    Very good laptop, but some caveats

    The laptop has well enough power to play most your games at 40fps+ at max, now lets get to the nitty gritty. The keyboard lacks slight quality control sounds almost crunchy sometimes, the touch bad is also okay quality, but a mouse and external keyboard will make this laptop 50% better. Heed my warning when you go turbo mode, your laptop will get toasty and it will sound like a air jet, a nice pair of noise cancellation headphones and mic is gonna be needed.

    I bought this laptop as a desktop replacement and wasn’t disappointed with the performance and thermals compared to others ive tried in its class. If you are looking for a solid 1440p 60fps+ gaming laptop this might be the one! Only one caveat, the fans are pretty loud especially at max speeds. But if you dont plan on running them at max, all the other settings are tolerable. If it wasnt for the fan noise this would have been a 5 out of 5 stars in my book.
