- UPDATE: Link to the review: • Acer Predator Helios 3...
Hey what's up everyone, johnnythegeek here with a long overview of the Acer Predator Helios 300.
Link to it can be found here: j.mp/2uxYCwv
This is going to be an awesome laptop that's an all around work horse of a system.
I wanted to note that the SSD that comes with this is an NVME drive but it's kind of on the slow side for an NVME. I plan on swapping it out with a 256GB 950 Pro.
Looking forward to testing this out. What games for desktop and VR should I play?
I already know I will be playing Overwatch, Rocket League, maybe Titan Fall 2 and Star Trek Bridge Crew on the HTC Vive.
i got the 900$ sale. Best purchase of my life.
when:(
Oscar Garcia It was some time after black friday, not sure what exact date, i think cyber monday.
ah, okay for $900 its soo good. right now for price i think i might go with the dell Inspiron 15 7000. gtx 1060 and i7 :/
compared to the predator right now the dell is a better price(almost the same ) but the price right now for the predator is at over 1000
ty for replying
Oscar Garcia if you’re going to get a gaming laptop I recommend getting a 1070 or 1080 at LEAST. The reason being is that they go obsolete very quickly, and you can’t upgrade them like a normal PC. I’ve been looking at the HP Omen X 17t, it’s 1700 for the bundle which comes with a 4k screen, 2tb storage, and a Nividia 1070. Looks great, but you can also go for the 1080 version but it’s a few hundred dollars more.
I only got a laptop for two reasons. One i don't have room for a full desktop, and two i need something portable for school. It's not permanent, just until i can get a bigger place.
I paid $1100 and don’t mind one bit, it’s PERFECT for stacking Gamerscore on the go! Unless you plan on spending $3K on some Alienware or a Razor, which the differences are still minimal, this baby runs ANYTHING on High-ULTRA settings, the Helios is for you! Best Grand you will EVER spend!
Would I be wrong to say that gaming laptop prices are decreasing? I can't remember a time when a laptop costed $1050($900 on sale holy shit) and performed about as well as a mid range PC. Compared to my estimates of a equivalent custom build budget-ish pc(Including OEM OS and subtracting minor sales BUT not including a monitor ~$800) you only pay about $100-200 extra or without the sale about $250-350.
It seems best desktop budget PC option would be to look for a prebuilt with decent CPU, RAM capacity, and room to upgrade at a on-sale price between ~$400(for low-end i5\Ryzen) to ~$500(for higher end i5\i7\Ryzen). Add ~$50 PSU and a mid range GPU ~$200 to end with a beast gaming desktop at around $650-$750.
But holy shit does this laptop look tempting.
R3lik101 why does dis have 2 like? Shouldnt it have 1k?
+R3lik101 thanks for the comment. I want to say that laptop performance when compared to a desktop is getting closer and closer to matching. So the laptop prices are almost the same as the desktop prices and you would have to include the monitor. The only thing that would be more powerful in a desktop is the cpu. So you could say that laptop prices are decreasing or your getting a lot more with what you're paying for.
I wish you luck my friend because that is a SICK deal!
R3lik101 prices are on the decline yes that’s the beauty of innovation, the strong becomes cheaper and the beastly becomes even stronger
*alienware
You get screws for if you decide to add a secondery 7-9mm drive (which you can install by unscrewing the drive panel on the bottom of the laptop).
John Israel Cooper Exactly....Lol i laughed when he said why do we get screws
Techion there is nothing to laugh about he simply asked a question he could be better at computers than me and you I wasn't looking down on him I was just answering since he asked about it. It's good to expand our knowledge at the end it's better to ask when we have the time than to act like we know everything and regret it later on.
In france and germany its 1680 euros so 1984 usd ... u get it for more then halph of the price i can get it it would be more worth it to travel to usa and order it there and go back to france the fly ticket would cost 900(laptop) 500 euros flight wtf thats 1400 euros and still cheaper solution amazon please fix your regions prices
Raging Coco In Britain it is £1050 (€1,176)
What mine was 1,600 euro ireland with i7 quadro core and geforce 670 why was yours soo cheap did I get scammed
In India, its currently at 1634 US Dollars.
We are pretty much fucked up too... :(
Please fix your grammer.
Grammar*
The four screws you got were meant to be used for the installation of the hard disc (the current price of the laptop is 1,050$ but with the hard disc it would be 1,135$ still a pretty good deal because its a 2TB hard disc). Please look it up on other reviews for the laptop.
Ljuba Popovic yeh on Amazon if you
Want to get a 2TB hard drive they will also send one for a extra 85$
Those additional screws are for mounting the aluminium bracket to the 2.5" drive. Acer recommends it.
Awesome thanks!
He sounds like Lester from gta 5
Yes
nvme compatible? I got this, shipping right now. Super excited :) Love from India :)
Themultiomniman how's it .please give me its review im from m.p india
when you threw the screws i screamed internally because i already knew they were for the optional hard drive cage lmao
THIS STILL THE BEST GADGET, MY BEST GADGET OF 2020..IS SUPER IMPRERSIVE AND AMAZING BUILD QUALITY
Loved this unboxing.
Pretty clean, detailed & upto the point.
You saved me 500$ I was about to buy the acer Predator 17 it cost 1450$ plus the 66$ gaming mouse with a built in macro I still want the mouse tho
The fact that your desk is a little dirt triggers me because I keep trying to clean my iPad screen lol 🤣
I love the unboxing experience
Is that an equation i see there 🤔
yup and on his left hand he have a motherboard lol
see-7 lol talking about being creative
Infernus Winter .. yup I liked his tattoo... Others will write some Chinese words lol
see-7 they probably don't even what the writing means
Dude I'm so glad I found this video, prime day is coming up and I hope it goes on sale again so I get my first gaming pc!
Blight I recommend looking for the Dell G3 or G7. It has newer hardware for the same price.
Johnny Phung What laptops usually go on sale for prime day? I've been eyeballing the Inspiron 7577 it's only $928 with a 1060, 128 gb ssd, and a 1tb hdd
Locked this up on black friday for $800! Keyboard gets really hot, but that may be my biggest complaint.Otherwise I'm extremely happy, it runs all my steam games well, I generally go for high settings,never ultra.
My dream laptop is this predator Helios 300 and when I saw this I cried because I’ll never get my dream
Mahyar Faa same ;-;
It's so beautiful. I am so excited to get it at the end of November.
Wade Hawk same here!!!! #EarlyChristmasforus 😏
Wade Hawk im getting it next month wassu
This laptop was worth the 1k pricetag. it even maxes out assassins creed origins at 60 fps. the cooling system is rather nice but can get pretty hot when gaming on higher end games. would suggest to anyone.
screws are for if you wanted to add a hard drive as there is only a SSD
I haven't finished the video and you may have figured it out by now but the screws are for adding a hard drive I'm pretty sure
Sorry, but the 2019 version of this w/ i7-9750H 2.60GHz, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD and *Blue [Teal] backlighting* is right now as I write this available for $899.99 + tax + recycling fee. I just ordered mine on Nov 1. Waiting anxiously for delivery right now.
im really hoping i can get this on a black friday deal or something. such and awesome value at 900$ wow
blacksunaccounts when exactly is the black Friday going to start ?
i think the last thursday of november
blacksunaccounts and when it ll start in Canada, i think so 27th nov is the date when the deals ll go live on Amazon canada ..... I can't purchase from US coz of the state tax and the customs after all that it costs much more than Canadian price ... currently this laptop is available for 1800$ I don't know whether there ll be a deal on this particular laptop or not 🤔
I GOT IT ON PRIME DAY TOO!!!!!!! Awesome deal, I recomend it!
Awesome!!!!
it looks like a lambo in the back
Is there any pre-installed video editing software and games available ?
What is the best video editing software it supports
Sony vegas
Thanks so much for this video!
I would love to know how long the battery lasts on regular browsing, like facebook and youtube with the screen on full brightness.
Also what are the maximum temperatures when it's fully stressed (cpu and gpu) as well as noise levels while gaming.
How is the screen btw? Are the colors good and bright?
Thanks for the suggestions. I will definitely test it out!
Hey! Can you do some video rendering and some heavy game play at high setting? Also review the camera quality.
Will do. But what do you consider heavy gameplay? Can you give me some titles and examples? Thanks!
Games like War Thunder, Killing Floor 2, Arma 3, Squad, Insurgency, maybe Ravenfield, and yea those are the games i enjoy :) Also, can you do a in-depth review of the Predator sense an how the heat and performance (fps) differs from normal, max, and the best custom settings please
Also try unreal engine 4 and see how it goes :)
thanks :)
funkierfawn budgie I'll say it gets 100-200 fps on ultra in War thunder
i live in the netherland europe i cant find anything where to buy it
Hij wordt beschikbaar in Europa in Augustus! Waarschijnlijk op een prijs van ongeveer 1200 euro.
Luca Battistella dankjewel. is die het waard om te kopen? of kan iik beter een lenovo legion y520 met een i7 of een asus rog gl553 met een i7.
bang bang het grootste verschil tussen deze Acer en de twee andere laptops die je noemt is de grafische kaart. Als het goed is komt deze Acer met een GTX 1060 (6GB VRAM) voor ~1200€. Deze videokaart is aanzienlijk beter dan de GTX 1050 die in de modellen zitten die jij noemde. Voor €1200 is dat net iets meer of evenveel geld voor een veel betere videokaart! Ik zou als ik jou was nog even afwachten tot deze uitkomt, dat doe ik in elk geval. Als ik dan zeker weet dat de GTX 1060 in de 1200€ versie zit koop ik hem (er komt geloof ik ook een GTX 1050Ti versie, die qua performance tussen de 1050 en 1060 in ligt).
Het hangt er natuurlijk allemaal vooral vanaf waar je het voor wil gebruiken, en hoeveel je eraan uit wil (kunt) geven. Een GTX 1050 is prima voor af en toe gamen en met die modellen (de Lenovo en ROG) heb je ook prima laptops voor die prijzen. Als je wat zwaardere spellen op hogere settings wil kunnen spelen zou ik echter voor een GTX 1060 gaan, mits je het budget (dus waarschijnlijk ~100€ meer) ervoor hebt.
Luca Battistella dankjewel! hopelijk komt die begin augustus uit haha
How are you man😃
I am good thanks!

If you still have this laptop, do you think you could possibly test out fallout 4 VR on it. I'm curious if it works on the 1060 and if it doesn't, you could always return it to steam.
I7-7700HQ 16GBddr4 1tbHDD 256SSD GTX1060 this model cost $1400 in Malaysia
Afiq Azamuddin same here
u bought it? is it worth it?
damn yeah im planning to get this monster of a machine too but kinda screwed up my brain with the price. The cheapest i've ever seen is rm5,500+ ( not sure if converted to dollars how much ) but it's the 8gb ram variation
Afiq Azamuddin it costs about 1800$ here....
Afiq Azamuddin any recommendations of online sites to buy it ? Can't seem to find one that I can trust . Also saving for this laptop so anyone mind telling me how to differentiate the updated versions of the laptop and older ones ? Thx
I am brazilian gere this notebook is R$6000
Holy shit 900 dollars? I will buy the 17 inch version of this tommorow but it's almost 1500 dollars here in Romania, wtf
MSI Alpha 15 Review brought me here because the Acer Predator Helios 300 has better FPS, but unfortunately the MSI Alpha 15 has a better cooling system.
Ok forget about the money for a while...plz tell honestly how good this laptop is in general?
Is this the best gaming laptop with a 1060 under around 1k? Or does Asus or MSI have something better for similar price?
hello my background lights from f10 to f11 keys are not so bright behind the keys,is this normal?
In the Philippines you can get this for around $1400
Helios is beyond the expectations but your watch is pretty good can you send your watch name in the replies.
the Acer Predator Helios 300 only play games, or other usage programs such as the Adobe programs?
I like this laptop gaming is amazing, thanks friend.
I'd buy it... But the shipping to my country (+ Amazon fees) cost me 350$.
Speca are great for the price... Can we add a HDD along with the SSD?
unknwn_usr yes, i got a 2 tb sshd along with the 256 ssd that came with it
what's that cool formula tattoo of yours? im not good in math but i know that's a formula.
I want this for Christmas but we can’t afford :(
Please suggest me any action, openworld game for this laptop because I also have one.
Do you think there will be such discounts for Labor day?
It is possible. I think camelcamelcamel.com/ can give you alerts.

Hey please I need help, so the cheap version of the laptop comes with 256gb SSD, but no HDD. So is there a slot for an HDD? Or do I have to use an SSHD? PLEASE ANSWER ME ASAP ANYONE
RobotSabot there is a slot for a hdd under the laptop😀
it's not 900$ it's 1,050$ it was that much when it just came out cause it was on sale.
Does it have G-sync and if it doesn’t does it have screen tearing
you're so fucking rude. the dude asked a question, just answer it nicely. If you have nothing nice to say, then don't say anything. You don't have to bark like that Brad.
GH_ You have to admire. That question was near rhetorical.
In the Philippines this shit costs $1600 dollars at the least 😂
Pffft.... in indonesia its like $2050. Definitely not a budget gaming laptop in my country😂💩
buy it from another country and make someone ship it to you simple
x skuLLaz no not so simple, i first thought to buy this from Amazon.com and they ll ship this to India but they are charging too much Custom duty and the ultimate price again came to the same level as it was before
John James Dy Buco san mo nakita ?
i know its the same thing here in jamaica thats why i said that so i meant a family member or a friend or someone u can ask to
I got it factory refurbished from newegg for 810
awesome vid! but bruh, it's "standard fare" not "standard affair". you got me twice with that. lmao.
Allen Huang lol oh damn. I never knew. Thanks for telling me.
How you get it for 900 dollars ?
just ordered it
Do they have deals like this on the holidays?
Hey i just bought a Acer Predator helios 300 the 1050ti 4ggs version , do you think is a big difference between this gpu and the 1060 6gb ? I know is a difference but i think is not much of a difference i want your opinion
Richard Senpai You are baisacally comparing a GTX 970m to a slightly underclocked desktop GTX 980
only 20-30 fps difference not much and no aeroblade fans
Screws are for HDD bay
Remember to update BIOS
Thanks!
Can we install Ubuntu (dual boot) in this laptop ?
Plz make a vdo to prove that it is not a rebrushed laptop or not to check it just open run at the computer and type msinfo32 nd there will be all information about the computer and see the sku system if it consists of all 0 the it is a new computer if it consists R letter then it is a rebrushed laptop
Alienware 17 2017 Review The Ultimate Gaming Laptop
Mine was 1,600 euro and mine was 15.2inch and i7 quadro core with gforce 670

Anirudh Ganesh do you know what screwdriver you use to remove the screws?
What store in Australia nsw Sydney sells these laptops
6:30 nice choice

its acceptable to add a hard drive or not because 256 ssd not Enough
Mohamed Hamdy yes it is acceptable.
thank you very much but tell me about usage and heat you recommend it or what you recommend in range 1000 $ my usage for programming and alitile montage videos
9:20 Ouch!!! Welcome scratches on the top cover.
Fck HAHAHA!
I love its design it is beautiful and sexy I wanna really have that laptop
+shipping and handling, how much was this
No waydude we have the same watch!
Did you have any problem with the drives and bios?
This laptop needs a driver update, once you get it just update them.
is there a review
Hey would this be better than the acer vx15? The vx15 has only a gtx 1500 instead of a 1500 ti since its from bestbuy. And getting the predator from bestbuy is 1300$
TheGamerGhost This is better than the vx15. Get it on Amazon it's much cheaper, I got mine for 1050$
Definitely. The 1060 is much better then a 1050. You will get 1080p ultra 85+ fps on almost every game. If you get an external monitor you run alot of games at 1440p 60fps.
Which watch are you wearing?
This is probably the worst unboxing video on TH-cam. Doesn't even turn on the damn thing 😂
That sounds kind of boring to see it boot up because you won't be able to gauge how fast it boots to the operating system since you have to go through the setup process. But next time I'll try it just to be able to tell you how boring it is to watch it turn on. Thanks for watching!
Dude wtf 900 bucks? We in Belgium pay fucking 1500 euro's
It's called a sale ;)))
but still, it was christmas
and still a lot more haha :D
ordered this on amazon
This baby today still 1000 euro seccond hand or reconditioned
Thermal paste is atrocious in this thing i recommend anyone with one go get it professionally replaced around 6-9 months after purchase max
So, I just want to watch you ooen a fecking box?
Will this be able to handle battlefield 5
The Cardboard Box Guy obviously, also bf1
4:33 that sound!!!
I got my 2017 model from amazon for $1,049 in July of 2018.
I know I'm late but great deal
