    Beautiful Beast

    I call her my Beast. She's beautiful. Nothing slows her down. She runs any software I've ever heard of. I run a high-end MMORPG, 3D rendering software, half a dozen browsers, and a music channel streaming on a second monitor all at the same time and switching between processes doesn't even make her blink.

    It brought new life to my games and is a fast machine. Great Bang for the buck. It runs hot but I have a laptop stand with 4 cooling fans that keep it cool and nice and quite. Awesome laptop

    Love it! It's fast (especially Boot-Up). Love the control with Keyboard Lighting, Fan Speeds and Temperture Monitoring at a simple Icon. Many talk about the fan noise, yes on full blast. I don't Game but I never hear much of the fan. And you can control the fan speed. I Love the ability to utilize Dual Monitors. Just plug one into the extra HDMI Port. Tons of Outputs for other devices.

    Great Laptop for Deep Learning and also Gaming

    It is an excellent laptop for the price. I bought it for my brother who needed it for his research in Deep Learning. GPU matters the most when working on ML/DL and this monster comes with RTX3070Ti without a power limit (it can provide 150W which is the max power this GPU can drain)! There are models with RTX3080Ti that have GPU performance lower than this model just because of the power limit they put on the GPU (the same is for the CPU). So be careful when buying laptops, the same specs in different laptops do not mean the same performance, power plays a huge role here. Not to mention great build quality, a beautiful fully customizable RGB keyboard, and so many features. At this price point and specs, the only other considerable laptop IMO is Lenovo Legion 5 Pro or 5i Pro, buy the one you find at a better price/deal. BTW, it's worth mentioning that after introducing the new generations of CPUs (13th gen Intel Core i and 7th Gen AMD Ryzen), these models might seem obsolete. And it might be true to some level, but if you find a better price go for it. The CPUs this year do not make a huge difference from last year's, but the GPUs might be game-changing. Even though, still, an RTX 3070 Ti is much better than RTX 4060!

    I really Like this laptop. It's fast and does anything I need it to. Plays all the big name games. Does get hot though. Will have to turn fans on max. Kind of annoying how loud it is. But that's my only issue. I mainly use this laptop to make beats. Runs all the vsts and plugins I want to use in a project. Definitely would recommend this laptop.

    I owned the Acer Predator Helios 300 from 2018 and was very happy with, but I upgraded to this one so it can handle newer game releases without FPS drop. It has everything the older model had and more. Long battery life and very sleek, professional asthetic. The only thing is the fans get really loud on turbo mode. If you're like me and game with a noise canceling headset, it doesn't bother me at all. Highly recommend!

    Opened the box and turned on the computer and the fan was making loud terrible noises. Didn’t matter if you had the laptop on your lap sitting or on a flat surface the noise continued. Spoke with the rep at Best Buy and they said the fan was broken so we returned it. Won’t be purchasing it again because by the time it came back in stock it was $400 more expensive.

    Overall an excellent choice for games and graphics design. Only downside is it’s battery life, which is relatively short when running intensive application and a bit heavier.
