Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this laptop as a last second mobile CAD workhorse (I'm an Engineering Technician). I did a TON of research on laptops close to the $1K mark that were also prime available on amazon. There are a few configurations of this laptop on Amazon, this being the entry level RTX version. So far, I've been blown away by the build quality and performance of this Helios 300. ACER has been my go-to for reliable computing for awhile now. Let's get to it: PROS: X2 M.2 slots for storage PLUS a SATA bay for even more RGB zoned keyboard (and a great feeling one for gaming / everyday tasks) BIG vents on rear and sides, PLENTY of intake area on bottom The thing just looks awesome, props to the design team for making a gaming laptop that looks professional Predator sense UI is clean, loads quickly, and easy to use With ray tracing on I saw around 60 fps on COD war zone with settings maxed. Not so much CONS: Fans get loud under load, but they react quickly and bring temps down FAST. It's an RTX machine, what can I say? Audio could be improved, especially BASS... but you've read this before with any laptop ad I know you'll be using headphones for games Power connector is in the rear center, you have to account for hardware layout here however BATTERY LIFE - probably the biggest complaint here, I would have absolutely spent an extra $100-$200 for better battery life if possible STORAGE CAPACITY - Would have liked a configuration on Amazon with 1TB + of this amazing nvme SSD Included case feels nice, but should have an extra pocket for the power brick (considering you'll almost always need it) All in all a lot of this goes without saying, but what is worth repeating is that this computer has 100% exceeded my expectations. This is the laptop to get mid-late 2020 if you want a 10th gen Intel chip and RTX. Thank you ACER!
