super fast!

This computer has blown me away at how well it runs every game Ive tried.

Great! Super!

Great gaming computer no upgrades need, but you can add an SSD and a HDD. Also upgrade the 16gb ram (2x 8gb sticks) to a max of 32 gb ram (2x16gb sticks). I opened the back up which was extremely hard to do and a few tabs broke, but the screws hold the unit together well enough. The two stock sticks of ram in my laptop were different brands one was Samsung and the other was unidentifiable. This laptop plays games extremely well for a mid range laptop. However it does heat up alot, once the fan kicks in it cools decently. The Fan can be loud, and it seems the Cpu fan doesnt get upto 6000rpms like the Gpu fan does. One of the fans is metal the other is plastic. I recommend getting a cooling pad of some sort to help with intense games. Overall highly recommend this laptop, boots and loads fast.

Update 7-1-22

The performance are pretty damn good. Though the keyboard could be done better because sometimes, the keys does not get entered when pressed. Upgrading the laptop is easy BUT removing the bottom panel will need some force. Its very, very tight and I had to look at a YouTube video to ensure I was at the right spot which I was. It was just tight. ; _ ;

It is an excellent computer for games and any other duty that requires a high performance computer.

Acer Predator Helios 300 & Triton 500

This is the first laptop that I have purchased specifically for playing games, and I couldnt be more satisfied with my choice. I did a lot of research (YouTube reviews, Reddit reviews, price comparisons, etc.) before deciding to go with the Acer Helios, and I feel confident that with this purchase I got the most for my money. $1,200 is more than I have ever spent on a laptop, but this thing allows me to play my favorite games (Witcher 3, Red Dead Redemption 2, etc.) on settings that are just beautiful.

Everything arrived perfectly in-tact! Ive been using this to game (RL, D2, LoL, Valorant, GTAV) and they run so well! The 144hz runs with almost no stutters or tearing and response time is decent. The fans do their job nicely but can get a tad bit loud (pretty normal for a gaming laptop). Battery life is pretty decent when youre not gaming. Im a CS student so I can get a good amount of productivity done with the amount of battery life. I love the upgradability of this laptop too! I inserted a 2.5 Hybrid hard drive and the process was super easy and quick. I highly recommend this laptop to anyone within this price budget!
