Acer Predator Helios 300 Gaming Laptop, Intel i7-10750H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 6GB, 15.6 Full HD 144Hz 3ms IPS Display, 16GB Dual-Channel DDR4, 512GB NVMe SSD, Wi-Fi 6, RGB Keyboard, PH315-53-72XD

I have not even seen it in real life but it is the best gaming laptop under $2000

The display is nice and the backlit keyboard is great. The Predator can handle my games. That is all I can say that is positive.

Upgrading from my 2013 Acer Aspire to this little monster. This is the best value gaming laptop out there, for $1200. I would have preferred the RTX 2070 version, but for one that uses this more for casual gaming rather than pro-gaming, I find it as the best option out there.

Great gaming laptop or for everyday use. Had an issue within the first few days; it was only running on one graphics card (I’m lousy with computer speak). It had an issue processing the graphics from the cpu to the Nvidea card. Luckily my son is a wizard with all things computer, and was able to locate an error in a driver and correct it. Now it runs like a rocket. I’m guessing I could have called the tech support number that came with it and they would have handled it as well. Battery life on a full charge gets me 2 hours of usage at best. I’m ok with that because it typically stays plugged in while gaming. I’m told that settings can be changed to go into a low power mode while running on battery to help. Since it is running two fans at performance settings and a battery hungry graphics card, it’s a trade off that’s fair. For a gamer, it has the hardware to pretty much do it all. It gives you way more features for the cost than pretty much anything else.

If you want a mid range gaming laptop it does it job. If you want a mobile work station well go somewhere else because the battery drains after after a couple of hours. I am using this laptop at college online. I would be great if the hard-drive was bigger since games it up in a hurry but what do expect for the price since I only. I has an extra SSD slot so I am probably get SSD around the next black friday.

I will be returning mine due to severe backlight bleed. It seems like it is a common issue with the Helios 300. Other than that it works very well.

The product itself is great, but no technical specifications are provided (in-box or on their support site) for the additional M.2 slots or RAM compatibility for upgrades. I asked Predator support for information regarding max storage capacity for each M.2 slot because I found information saying that some models were only tested with 512GB drives, with some customers reporting 2TB drives as compatible. I was told that the maximum amount for each slot is only 256GB, which is clearly incorrect since this model comes with a 512GB drive. I also asked what speed each slot would run at when both are filled because some motherboards do not support two full-speed PCIe devices, such as the X570 Aorus Master in my desktop computer. I received no answer.

I have been looking for a gaming laptop for a long time. I wanted a laptop that was powerful, worth every dollar spent, and kept away from looking too much like a stereotypical gaming laptop ( my personal preference). Finding this laptop was close to what I was looking for! With so many pros outweighing the cons I recommend this laptop!
