If customer service proves to be excellent, this is a solid 5 star gaming laptop, but until I do use Acers customer I'm leaving it at a 4. The only reason I can't give this 5 stars is because I haven't yet needed to use their customer service. It's miles better than my old ASUS laptop for sure, but then again this cost about 500 pounds more. If you're using this for gaming, honestly you won't be disappointed - I know I'm not. This is quite a future proof laptop I think, with its 2060 gpu and the 144hz screen. Rgb lighting is a plus and looks very pleasing. And you will need the charger if you're using this while travelling. ![]() One thing I dislike is the mouse pad, it requires quite a lot of force to push down in my opinion, a lot more than I normally use but not ridiculous either.īattery life isn't special, runs as long as most other gaming laptops, the charger itself is way lighter than I expected so that's a plus for travel. The speakers are a bit meh, but then again this is a gaming laptop. The screen is great, 144hz and crystal clear. This was bought to replace a faulty Asus laptop (awful customer service BTW!) - it plays every game I've thrown at it well, there's no thermal throttle at all due to its fans and fan control. If you wanna have a chat regarding this laptop, drop me a text on Instagram - 'iSubby' & I'll be glad to help you regarding picking a gaming laptop that'll suit your needs But I'd give it 5 stars for it's base purpose. I'd overall reccomend the Predator Helios 300 variant over any other gaming laptop for the price between £800-£1500, buying a gaming laptop other than this is a waste in my opinion. I did return mines within 3 weeks due to the hard drive being faulty but this was probably just with my own laptop. Don't think this applies to variants in other countries unless you go for the RTX version.īut yes bottlenecking is an issue with the i5 variant (if you're thinking about buying the i5 with the rtx 2060, I suggest you do your research) Keyboard is wonderful to use & yes its fully RGB, as is the i7 variant. Screen colours & RGB accuracy was also perfect. The boost function is irrelevant for the i5 variant as the CPU bottlenecks the GPU regardless of the turbo mode active > another reason as to why you should spend the extra money for the i7 variant.īattery isn't the greatest, at all. I had a bit of trouble getting onto the nvidia application but all you had to do was to uninstall & reinstall the drivers for it to work. In terms of the GPU, I had no problems with it in terms of its physical use. ![]() ![]() So my advice is to stay away from the i5 variant & go for the i7 variant. To ensure that the CPU boost was active, I did some checks & came to see that It was indeed active & was working for specific applications but better CPU performance would have been preferred especially for the price point. The CPU in this laptop doesn't have a habit of increasing it's boost clock for games, well according to my experimenting, as it should have. Plus, if you're gaming, you'd also want a high end CPU. Though the i5 performs perfectly, being unable to really upgrade laptops in the future makes the i5 less future proof. I got myself the i5 9300h which I thought I made a big saving on over the i7 9750h version but I might've thought wrong. (included)īrilliant laptop overall, extremely easy to set up & I really loved it.
