I've retested the Helios 300 in January 2020 with newer games, newer BIOS, newer drivers, newer Windows updates here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDFwH3OCLgY
Great review! I’ve just ordered my Self one.
Does that have a mxm module?
Hey @Jarrod'sTech I want your help....I am having trouble opening the preadator sense app...it opens and just vanishes... I'm not able to change any settings or lighting of my keyboard
Bro is gtx1660 having rgb keyboard
I bought an acer helios 300 2019 model
The motherboard is now damaged even before i start gaming in it
The ITW service is pathetic, its been more than 2 months and they havent serviced the product (warranty service).
Where can post a review or give a complaint,
They provide many email id, but all are useless
2018 model looks like my granny's TV
Hi dear I think you can answer one of my problem. I recently baught a Razer blade 13 from ebay verified microsoft store. The device hardware is all the same as listed in the website however the system information says it is an ACER laptop {predator} How can it be possinle? What actually they did with the laptop. This version should have Windows home but I got Windows pro. I really dont understand whether to keep this or return.
this review is aging like a fine wine
In India it has RGB lightings with 4 GB 1650 Ti GPU
Is it good for online class too? Help me pls💙
Can we have a same detailed review for 2020 model ? Your reviews helps a lot , keep up the good work .
Did you test if the mini DP is connected to the Nvidia card?
Any chance reviewing the 2020 Helios 300? It would be great to see a 3-way comparison between 2018, 2019, and 2020 models.
Imagine getting this laptop for gaming and got the 60hz screen lol.
my CPU goes to 97 degrees Celsius and my GPU 82
Its not in stock right now in Romania:// Hopefully I will get to buy this beauty soon
My story for getting this no more presents for 3 years done
Wow....the video message repeats but ok, All...you should hit up the most recent Acer laptop line up.
I5 9300h+rtx 2060 or i7 9750h+gtx 1660ti
Which is better for 1080p gaming?
Here it is one of the most requested reviews on the channel. Acer Predator Helios 300! Big improvements especially to thermals. Enjoy and feel free to hit me up on discord if you have any questions! discord.gg/mattmoniz
They have one of these on Amazon that comes with a RTX 2060 for 1200. Thought about getting it. Thing is, I dont know if RTX is the newest card or not. All I know is its compatible with Ray tracing.

I have a helios 300 gtx 1660 ti and it's great. Temperatures are amazing as well as performance for the price. I recently uploaded some gameplay footage of cyberpunk on the laptop, if you want to see how it performs (even though the game isnt well optimized yet 😅)
I bought this laptop because of your reviews.
It has been amazing!!! A great laptop. Everyone will feel satisfied with it.
If you are looking and thinking about buying it, there are some aspects that you should consider:
-The fan noise is quite high. However, if you are going to game alone in your room or studio this does not matter. It could be distracting for other people if they are working in the same workspace.
-It gets hot. You can feel in the middle of the keyboard if you are running something taxing for your laptop. In my case, this just applies to Path of Exile. League of Legends, Starcraft 2, CSGO, and Rocket League are fine. Rendering videos is fine but still takes a while.
-It has not too much space in the disk. However, just buy a SSD nvme m.2 and you will be fine. I got a Crucial P2 SSD. The installation can be done by anyone. Even if you never opened your laptop before or have no experience with that, it is really easy. Just open the laptop and plug it in without touching anything more with your screwdriver.
-The battery does not last long. My laptop is always connected so this is not a problem for me.
-I had some troubleshooting with the camera specifically while using Zoom.
Besides this. This is a monster for the price, I do not regret buying it, and I am glad & happy with my purchase.
i5 or i7 does it matter?
but where can you connect your internet cable ?
Men how isnt that thunderbolt 3? Isnt every USB C 3.0 or above a TB3?
Would you recommend buying this gaming laptop?
I saw someone selling this with a Nvidia GeForce 1060Gtx, 16Gb ram and i7? And would one recommend buying this in 2020?
And 2020 model is even better. By far.
I have the same laptop but i got 512gb nmve and 1tb ssd inside it and it has another empty nvme slot
Would this be good with after effects?
The touchpad is not glass
Is it safe to use turbo mode frequently and does it make your helios 300 laptop life deteriorate quickly?
Is it different from the 17.3 inch model in the battery performance?
been wanting to buy this laptop. just wondering if 50db is too loud in a classroom setting
Is it good when used for work and programming and multitasking and so on?
Nobletlon lock! If only!
Just to let everyone know, it's is much better than any of the ASUS TUF laptops by a mile. ACER is a true competitor giving you quality for a fair price while other manufacturers try to jip you. Otherwise, get a Lenovo or Razer. My daughter has the Predator Helios 300 PH315-52-75DE that has the RTX 2060. I had cloned Windows 10 from the slow 512MB m.2 to a 1TB SAMSUNG 970 EVO NVMe m.2 using EaseUS Partition or EaseUS Todo Backup and added 1TB Samsung 860 EVO SSD into the empty compartment. With 2 m.2 slots you could do RAID 1, 0. Instead of storing all the new data onto the SSD got a WD 2TB Easystore external USB Hard drive. Be cautious about using the Turbo button, some people complained it damaged their laptop. Adjust Fan Speed in the BIOS or use MSI Afterburner. The Predator is a 2019 TOP 3 mid level gaming laptop , meaning it is one of the best of the year. Touchpad is sensitive and works great. The Power brick does get hot.
How's the RTX 2060 model of this laptop?
This is my dream laptop 🥺 i want it so much! I wish when i hit 1k i would get money to buy this 😭
Does can it g sync to a 175hz monitor?
Is it powerful enough to run vr games?

Literately the most comprehensive Laptop review I've ever seen. I have never seen anyone taking the case off, and I'm full impressed and extremely grateful that you did, it answers so many question along with your expert review. Absolutely love it, thank YOU!!! I probably watch 1 review every few years to buy a new one, but I am subbing... May your channel flourish.
I trust in You, Lisa!
Does oculus rift s work with this?
The 8th Gen Intel Acer Predator Helios 300 is here! Same design but some improvements. What do you guys think?
This is worse than my 7yr old MSI, heavy af and can barely see the screen
no thunderbolt 3 no displayport no mini displayport
Yeah the best microwave let's gooo
Hello, PH315-53-73J5 Acer Helios Predator 300, 6gb graphic card 2060 RTX, 16GB RAM, 512SSD, Full High Definition, 1920 x 1080, 144Hz. I got a camera and drone that shoots in 4k and i wanna do some video and photo editing. I don't think i'll always use 4k as this creates large files and takes longer etc, but is it worth buying a 4k monitor given me laptop spec, or only full hd? I was looking at a cheaper dell 4k model.
This laptop gets to 75C watching videos, what should I do
i have this so ask me any questions you guys have!
Here I am two years later and this laptop is such garbage. Constant throttle while gaming. The membrane under the keyboard get so hot that the W key gets stuck and my character keeps moving forward. Undervolting doesn't help anymore, it still throttles. And no I'm not going to open it up and put new paste on the CPU. This is supposed to be a gaming laptop but it isn't in practice. The only way I can play team fortress 2 (lowest possible settings and it looks like minecraft) is going to a cold room with the radiators off. CPU is 60c just writing this comment.
I really hate this laptop and I will never buy anything from Acer again. I will never buy a laptop again for gaming, that's for sure.
My advice is to never buy a laptop to play any games other than solitare type of games, unless you absolutely have no choice. A desktop is cheaper, faster, more quiet.
How much now in 2020 ?
$500 for this in 2020. Good deal?
worst gaming latpop,just bought it and minecraft crashes everytime and a lot of games dont start.
Do not even bother with this piece of crap. Under powered fan. Nothing EVER goes smoothly with this stupid piece of junk. Honestly look at other reviews online before buying. It's disgusting. The laptop should've been recalled and fixed but instead they just decided to scam 1000's and 1000's of people by making them pay over $2000 for a gaming laptop that struggles to play games on the lowest graphic settings possible. Can't even set up a live stream. Trying to add a display capture on OBS or Streamlabs just constantly shows a black screen. Look up the problem on forums and there's so many people having the same issue with this exact same laptop and there's no one that's fixed the issue. It's a joke. Try and complain to Acer and they just palm you off to a call center that tries help with basic trouble shooting and not fixing the problem. It's a waste of time.
is it better than msi gf63
Before asking this question I have made researches and did not find an appropriate answer. I hope someone could help.
My laptop model is Acer predator helios 300 ph315-51-78np with 16gb ram and 256ssd (windows preinstalled on it). As far as I know, the max SSD capacity for this model is 512gb. So my question is:
I want to remove (rid of) this SSD with preinstalled windows on it, cause I cannot delete windows, and replace it with one 512gb Samsung SSD. Would it somehow hurt the system? Because graphic cards and other stuff installed exactly on the windows system. I am going to install Linux on the new 512gb SSD.
If the first option is not preferable, are there any other ways to solve this issue? My target is just to remove default 256gb Intel SSD and replace it with high-quality 512gb SSD like Samsung Evo or Crucial MX500, etc and install Linux on it.
The perfect option is: remove Intel default 256gb SSD and replace it with 512gb SSD (Crucial/Samsung) + 1tb SSHD Seagate FireCuda
How much that laptop sir?
How much storage does this have?
After 2 year of using ,It is noticeable slower. Heat issue ruin the fan and famerate.
i'm watching this on the Predator Helios 300 like "Lets see what they have to say about you" XD

I have this laptop and this laptop really has problems with the cooling and temperature, i wont buy this again
