I purchased this in the Fall 2019 (so 6 months of use at this review time) for about $1200 after doing a lot a online reviews of it and comparable laptop setups. My main focus was having a good gaming setup without having to purchase or modify the system - I also wanted at 15" screen with at least 1080p and high frame refresh rate. I was not worried about battery power since this would be plugged in most of the time.This Predator Helios 300 is "Acer Predator Helios 300 Gaming Laptop PC, 15.6" Full HD 144Hz 3ms IPS Display, Intel i7-9750H, GTX 1660 Ti 6GB, 16GB DDR4, 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD, Backlit Keyboard, PH315-52-78VL"256GB is not enough for what I need but it is very easy and cheap to upgrade so not a big issue you to me VS buying a system that is identical but had the larger SSD. One main concern I had was screen quality since other reviews were upset at the backlight bleed through and I thought that might be a deal breaker. I am very happy to report that the blacklight bleed through for me is absolutely unnoticeable during normal use and playing games. The only time I see the bleed through is during the start screen. The screen is crisp and the colors are good. I am sure there are better screens out there but this one I would say is over all Good - maybe even Excellent. The refresh rate of 144hz also makes for very smooth game play - I really notice it smoothness on Fortnight on max graphic settings and it runs Classic Wow on max graphic setting very well.Another Pro that will a small amount of software tweaking I am able to get the trackpad to work just like my macbook pro - this is really mircosoft windows adjustments but as far as sensitivity it is almost as good as the mac book - its like an 8 out of 10 (macbook pro is a 10 out of 10) - most non-macbook trackpads are horrible that I tested so I was pleasantly surprised.Cons - these are minor:(1) The number pad on the right is off a little because they put the special "Predator" graphics key where normally the "NumLk" goes - and i adjacently hit it all the time. I think they could have put that key or switch somewhere else.(2) I wish they had the F keys setup like the macbook pro where I could adjust volume without having to toggle the "Fn" key. Right now this requires two hand to change the volume from the key board because the volume keys are the "up" and "down" arrows.(3) the way the "delete" key is setup along with the placing of the backspace key - they are both not normal to a standard key board so I end up accidentally hitting them or not hitting them when typing if I am not thinking about it.(4) the track pad is not centered on the laptop. It is further to the left and since I am right handed it make me have to place my right hand further to the right than what is comfortable.(5) The power cord and the way it attaches the computer. I am soiled with the old macbook pro magsafe connection and I wish this did something similar. Multiple times I have pulled this computer off the table because either me or my kids tripped on the cable. Also the cable has a large plastic piece just a few inches from the connector and it seems to get in the way of effectively running the cable around for me.(6) the usd ports are all on the side and close to the front - so this makes it difficult for me to hook in my USB mouse and key pad and have them right next to the computer since hey overlap and hit the key pad. I wish there was two port on the back of the PC or at least on the side but far back.Overall, I am very please with the setup and my gripes are very minor. If this computer makes it 5-6 years without any issue it will be a really good deal.
