  Great laptop in a great price

  This is an excellent product that i recently p...urchased. Although refurbished is like new and is what exactly i expected to be. I bought it for scientific purpose. I wanted a laptop with a great but not too expensive video card with a very good gpu. Nvidia 1060 makes my life easier and the amount of 6 GB of ram is really enough. I can't tell you about games though because this is not my case. The cpu is fast enough and when it comes to use the SSD is really really fast. 16 GB of ram is more than enough even for much more demanding processes than surfing the internet. The fan's noise of course is a little bit loud when it gets hotter. The monitor is good and the angle as well, without being more than this though. It is 1080p Keyboard is too comfortable and he pad as well. Overall is a really fast machine with a great amount of quality hardware and it is one of my best choices that i made so far. I would recommend this to someone who wants a really good laptop in a logical price.

  Shhid I like it

  After a good while using this laptop, I have to say it's a v...ery fast laptop. Would be a perfect laptop for school or even as a DJ laptop. I've played a few games and it has great graphics and all my friends said it's a nice clear picture. I even downloaded a couple emulators and it works flawlessly. I'm even streaming the ufc Alvarez vs poirier 2fight an its working awesome. Only downside is the battery life during gaming is not so great but i saw that on past reviews so I expected that. But overall it's a awesome laptop, worth it!

  Good performance, needs better battery life and storage space.

  Nice product.... Works well. Wish battery life and storage was better. Definitely no regrets, though. For price range, this is really good.

  Acer Predator Helios 300

  --- 22.04.2018 Today I bought this laptop, so I'm s...till waiting it to arrive. I'll update this review, as soon as I recieve it. But until than I'll tell you my thoughts about this product. I did some research in internet about the laptop and I think it's the best one currently in the market in its price range. But there are some things I think should be considered before buying this laptop some of them are positive and some of them are negative ones: 1. There are several variations of Acer Predator Helios 300. Two of them are G3-571-... (This product) and G3-572-... I don't know all the differences between these, but what I know is G3-571 (This product) has plastic fans and it's GPU can't be overclocked using Predator Sense. While G3-572 has metal fans and It has the GPU overclocking feature. And also, the G3-572 costs more. By the way, I don't think these are big advantages. 2. This model comes with 16 GB of DDR4 RAM. But it's maximum capacity is 32GB. So it's upgradable. The laptop has two RAM slots. And it comes with 8GB RAM in each slot. This is not very good in my opinion, because if I decide to upgrade to 32GB, than I need to buy 2 new 16GB RAMs. And Then I'll have extra 2x8GB Rams. I think it would be better if it had 1x16GB and one slot empty. 3. The SSD slot of this laptop is SATA3 meaning that, no matter how good SSD this laptop will have, It won't be able to work faster than 6GB/s. 4. This laptop has an empty slot for hardware expansion and I think It's necessary to add extra memory as 256GB is too small especially for gaming laptop. Some of the laptops come without hardware expansion cable, but you can get one for free from acer. The link is provided in the description of the item. 5. Current price $900 is very cheap. The official price of this exact model on acer page is $1100 and on Amazon it's $1049. So even with shipping price ($50 for me) it's about $100 cheaper. 6. This laptop comes with GTX 1060. There are two variants of this video adapter with 3GB or 6GB RAM. This laptop has GTX 1060 with 6GB ram. In conclusion, I think this is an excellent laptop for it's price. I will post updates as soon as I will recieve mine. I hope my expectations will come true. Thank you.

  Just what I was looking for

  It's a fine laptop that runs quite well. Every g...ame I couldn't run on my previous laptop is smooth on this one. Small battery life is to be expected. As I was told, a few keyboards are broken but I can make do. Definitely worth the price I paid.
