> 24 hourI am writing this from Day One of recieving this laptop. Once, unboxed and create a user, I proceed to use the Microsoft Edge web browser. Immediately, I got hit with error_connection_timed_out on msn.com. I then try the gamer paradise, Steam website, same result. Reddit, same thing. Amazon, where I bought this thing, same thing. Even when advised by tech support to go to the brands website, Acer, it timed out the same way. Tried updating the drivers, says that they are the latest. Tried downloading new drivers from acer website using my ethernet cable, same thing afterwards. Tried flushing the dns and reconfig ip, worked for a couple of hours, then same thing. TL:TR Gaming laptop, nearly a grand does not even have properly working wifi drivers. I do not even have a chance to view major websites much less play games. I am going to get a refund, what a waste of time.

> 24 hourIve had laptops since before windows 95; granted the ones I personally owned have been since XP onwards (rest were in the house) but the point is this is a fine device. Battery lasts about 2 to 3 hours when taking it easy (honestly just plug while gaming, no need to put so much stress on the battery).

> 24 hourThe build quality is not that good, it is quite fragile. But its performance is pretty good.

> 24 hourI have never owned an actual gaming laptop or desktop before. I bought this machine for my wife for an anniversary gift and it has blown us both away! This machine will chew up and spit out any current game on high or ultra-high graphics easily. So far no issues with heat as long as it stays on a solid surface. Would absolutely recommend to someone dipping their toes into the pc gaming rig the first time. The speed is great, the graphics are impressive and smooth and the screen is absolutely brilliant. Predator also offers (if you buy the machine new) a 1-2 year warranty on the machine from the factory so that is really nice. Really nice. Really like it. Really powerful. Absolutely impressive and more so for the price point.

> 24 hourBuyer Beware! I opened this up and was greeted with seizure inducing screen flicker. I then looked online and there are posts everywhere about this unresolved issue. Thank goodness I cam return it for a refund. So disappointed.

> 24 hourIf youre looking for a full powered gaming laptop, the Helios 300 is pretty great. Its heavy and has a short battery life, but thats the compromise youre going to have to make for a laptop that can play current games at decent settings. If youre looking for a lightweight laptop to play games on, look elsewhere, but this will allow you to have a proper gaming experience in a mobile unit.
