They are the most rugged laptops which I know of. At least the ones which I've used were built very nicely. But that was a few years ago. Not sure about the newer models though.

Dracula Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Hey guys, i need some help regarding "Acer Predator Helios 300", which i purchased from flipkart recently so the return window is still there.So i was testing the laptop throughly and have some issues here and there. Atleast i think they are issues. Which are listed as most important to least.1- There is some vibration or current flowing in the laptop body whenever i connect the charger with it. The vibration is constant and almost on all over the laptop. I've noticed it with swiping my fingers left and right. I've connected my old Acer charger with it and the same happens with it too.2- I'm only getting the battery backup for 3 hours or 3.5 hours with WiFi always on + 100% Brightness which is not what i was expecting. I thought it would give the 5 hours backup easily.3- There is some freezing in the OS (Win10) which i cant figure out like - - Mouse pointer freezing for 1-2 seconds when i right click on desktop.- Opening control panel freeze it for 1-2 seconds too.I disabled "Add desktop context menu" option in Nvidia control panel and that solved the mouse pointer freezing but only till i restarted the laptop. After restarting it came back and now even after disabling that option it won't go away.Please help guys, I really appreciate if anyone who uses this laptop personally can test their model for the first two points, cause i know the freezing part is some software issue that we can sort out later.Please check with charger connected if there are any vibrations, by touching the back of the laptop, above the keyboard and the sides of mousepad.Regards.Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too have one Helios for some 56,000/- the i7 one.. And I would say if you got for the same price.. try to figure out if there's a way to increase warranty period to 3 yrs.. and keep that beauty.. my piece of advice.. do wait what others have to say..Sent from my Mi A1 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonicDave Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Is there any gaming laptop with 8th gen i5 processor? I'm seeing only older 7th gen i5 and i7's. Also does anyone have any idea why there is NO gaming laptop with Ryzen chips and RX graphics cards?? Isn't it weird?? I mean if I were to choose between a 7th i5 4C/4T and a Ryzen 5 6C/12T I would definitely go for the latter. As for the video card GTX 1050 is the most affordable one but much weaker than GTX 1060 which costs a bomb. And there is no RX 560/570 cards. Anyway these gaming laptops with 7th gen i7 and GTX 1050Ti/1060 aren't exactly *affordable* Also I want to support AMD more than Intel/Nvidia. AMD fanboys sure have it tough huh. >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems faulty. Inside cooling fan component. The vibration shouldn't be that strong or prominent. However the current passing thing happens when you don't wear any sandal/shoe ie. no proper earthing/insulation. 2. Thats normal. 3. Something is definitely wrong. I don't use Win 10 so can't tell what exactly it is. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonicDave Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 Asus launched new RoG laptops with 8th Gen Intel processors. The RoG G703 comes with an i9 8950HK 4.8GHz processor. >___< (Note: the product link of the G703 which they give doesn't show the correct cpu model. It shows older i7 7XXX cpu's). https://rog.asus.com/articles/gaming/experience-rog-reborn-with-intel-coffee-lake-h-processors-powering-our-new-line-of-gaming-laptops/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 ^ Avoid Lenovo, simply been hearing too much about them having a bunch of security loopholes /backdoors on their end. Next, ask the cousin if he can get used to working with a MacBook Air. Sleek, sufficiently powerful and light enough to go into any bag and perform throughout the day without running dry. If he is adamant about Windows, why not look at the 13" DELL XPS or HP Envy /Spectre range of products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The laptop will be used extensively only for the 1 year MBA after which it'll probably gather dust at home. Hence, do not want to spend a lot of money on it. Why would it be lying at home? Also here is HP's Envy x360 for under ~50,000, heck, under ~40,000 options are available too. Here is a DELL Inspiron for just over ~30,000.

Also, office laptops are super restrictive so I do not see the device lying idle anyway. That notebook might be good but that pricing is horrendous.

Rey Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Hello, can someone recommend,which one would be better out of these two? (Someone who has used them?) Helios has twice the HDD and SSD, but I never see it available, always out of stock. All other specs are almost same. Or any other models with similar specs and price? https://www.flipkart.com/acer-predator-helios-300-core-i7-7th-gen-16-gb-2-tb-hdd-256-gb-ssd-windows-10-home-6-graphics-g3-572-gaming-laptop/p/itmf3s3fszsevufj?pid=COMEZ3FRUEGPDUBG https://www.flipkart.com/msi-gv-series-core-i7-7th-gen-16-gb-1-tb-hdd-128-gb-ssd-windows-10-home-6-graphics-gv62vr-7rf-1067in-gaming-laptop/p/itmf3s3fhg9mz7yc?pid=COMEZYRYQHPH5VVX Thanks.

You can look at Lenovo's Legion Y520 series or HP's OMEN line of notebooks. Do you have to purchase a notebook immediately or can you wait for a couple of weeks?
