You get an insane amount of value for your money here. Love this laptop so much - threw my most challenging game at this thing and it just sort of chuckled. Great processing, great quality, great everything for its price. It does run a little hot at times, but that's always going to be an issue with laptops. Just make sure you get a really good cooling pad as well. Excellent purchase, zero regrets, would absolutely buy again.

Broke in a little over a year. We started having issues with the battery not keeping a charge just a few months after purchase. Then it wouldn’t turn on when you hit the power button. So we googled a solution and found that if you held down the power button for about 20 seconds it would power on. It did. Now just over a year of ownership and it won’t even do that anymore. The power cable plugged directly into the computer won’t power it on. Nothing happens. It’s funny how it becomes completely useless just over the warranty period! We handled this laptop with a lot of care. It was $1,700 total, so we made sure to keep clean and safe from anything that could cause it damage. My husband is a computer engineer so that is a pet peeve of his to handle electronics with care. This is beyond the worst purchase I have ever made! We spent close to $2000 and got crap. This computer didn’t even last 2 years!Also, if you’re still considering this laptop/brand, look up all the people who have had the same issue as us. Save your money and look elsewhere. DON’T BUY ACER!

I sent it back. Overall was OK but the bios is locked in RAID mode. Followed instructions to change to AHCI but unable to change. The bios does not show raid settings even when following step by step instructions. For average user this is fine but I like to do a clean install of windows and when locked in raid it does not show the drives. And they charged me $ 117.80 or restocking fee and only used for couple days. Lesson learned only to buy when it is shipped by AMAZON.

For the price and value it is excellent. I used to shy away from Acer but this Helios 300 has changed my mind. It run at a normal temp which is cooler than most gaming laptops. No issues with performance or temps. The display and keyboard are great for mobile gaming. When you hook it up to external monitors and stuff it turns into an excellent desktop. No complaints and love it overall.
