Where's the AMD version?????

@@horuslupercal3872 Wasn't provided.

Sorry Jarrod's Tech but do you have the link to where it says, you get pubg for free on selected acer purchases. Because yesterday i bought the acer predator helios 300 and didn't receive anything (purchased at Harvey Norman

Sorry, but y doesn't the acer predator helios 300 qualify for the free copy of pubg, its has rtx2070 and all the latest stuff, yet doesn't qualify, wth

@@JarrodsTech Great Content..I will appreciate if you can answer this question ..Which one is best for Church Streaming. at 1080 @60p

Basically yeah!

If you are looking for more power then actually the Helios 300 beats the triton 500 ( rtx 2060 version ), get if you are willing to thinness and better battery life ( not a huge difference tho )

@@kavinsuresh5468 In case you didn't watch the video, the bigger battery on the Triton doesn't actually do anything, it gets more battery life in gaming, but really, how often will you be gaming without being plugged in? All you get with the Triton is a slightly thinner chasis, Thunderbolt and... that's it. You also get an inverted motherboard, so have fun uograding or trying to fix any hardware issues yourself. I pereonally wouldn't recommend it.

@@infiniteaj8688 did you read my comment? That's why I recommended the Helios 300 instead, and I also said that there is not a big difference in battery life too

@@kavinsuresh5468 in Amazon US. I found out that the 2060 Helios is expensive than the 2060 Triton though, well about 100 USD. But in terms of power you're basically right.

Thanks! Some people complain that the video isn't just me talking, but I figure I might as well just show what I'm talking about instead so you can see.

Nice, hope it goes well for you!!

How is the laptop? Because I'm also planning to buy that.

How’s the Helios 300 doing on games like COD Modern Warfare?

@@seavonscott4715 i also want to knoe cod modern warfare perfomanceon this predator notebooks too

I bought Triton, my friend bought a helios, and im super glad i got me the triton. Good laptops tho eitherhow

Glad I could help!

Happy to help!

Thanks! Happy to help!

That's great to hear! Happy Christmas to you too!

The trend seems to be going that way.

@@JarrodsTech Thankfully.

@EX8MG3 how many hertz is ur Asus? Just curious

How's it holding up? I'm about to buy one myself

Cheers hope the laptop is going well! Merry Christmas to you too!

@Geo Tech News All in all I am very happy. I only tested one game so far, Devil May Cry 5 on high settings, on average I got 110 fps while gaming. Only 2 things I want to warn you about: 1) The fans can be noisy even during non demanding tasks, such as watching a video 2) The sound from the speakers is really really poor. They are place on the front bottom, which means that by placing it on any surface (a table, a bed and so on) will result in muffled sound. I am forced to use an external speaker. My 5-year old Asus laptop with B&O certified speakers is miles ahead.

Also because of him I bought the helios 300 right when it was available in my country, Philippines. Tho I compared a lot of this video, and it's one of his that made up my mind. I never thought i could buy it in my country as at the time it is like 1 or 2 months being reviewed by reviewers here

@Geo Tech News yes, it does have bluetooth:)

Same here!

Great to hear it's going well, glad I could help!

Are you still happy with it? How do you like the trackpad?

@@ilqrd.6608 yeah still rocking it, even tho I dont use trackpad that much, I still think is solid.

i'm planning to buy it, can you tell me if it's a good idea ? ^^

@@elkheyou4061 yes,if you don't mind spending extra cash but if you are a gamer on a budget go for the acer nitro 5 but if you are willing to wait for another salary definetely go for thehelios 300

Did both act that way? if so that's strange, the two I've tested didn't experience that at all.

@@JarrodsTech Yes both, Well I guess it could be because i've got a EU version with 1TB of Storage. The noise comes from the MB (SSD Slots), the Network Chip and the GPU. I'm not joking. Even my GF could hear it. (She owns a XPS 15 from '18 and got no coil whine at all)

The coil whine shouldn’t be very audible. I had to stick my ears to the keyboard to hear it

@@zheyingchin4194 we both had our heads in a normal position

Cheers! Merry Christmas to you too!

Cheers mate, merry Christmas to you too!

It definitely is, let us know how it goes!

Fun fact: if you were looking for the triton rtx 2060 version then don't worry, the Helios beats it in performance and thermals due to bigger chassis and factory overclocking/undervolting

I had the opportunity to use both of them. Triton rtx 2060 (1978 CA$) & helios 300(1442 CA$). Triton looks great & had Thunderbolt 3, other than that there is not much difference performance wise or battery life. So I decided to save 530 CA$. :D

same

Good to hear! I'm not too sure about that one yet, I haven't had the chance to test it out yet, I'll see if I can get an update on borrowing it.

Nice, good to hear! Yeah many laptops have the option of letting you pick bigger battery instead of 2.5" drive, would be good if more gave the user the choice rather than forcing one option.

Jarrod'sTech Yeah, would have been nice to have an option of bigger battery, but I’m able to manage just fine.

Elijah Dela Cruz how’s the fan sound does it make noise on coding or any non-gaming stuff...

jayadithya nalajala in terms of editing videos, yeah the fans do turn on and make noise. Though it’s quieter than when gaming, there’s still fan noise, but it’s not annoyingly loud. As for web surfing, youtube videos, Microsoft office, and other less demanding tasks, fans run at bit of a higher rpm, but noise is barely noticeable.

How are the speakers? I heard people saying the sound gets fuzzy because of the speakers being on the bottom Is it true?

Nice, good to hear!

@@JarrodsTech 👍 :)

8 months down the line, how is it now??

Yeah to echo what someone else said, how’s it holding up after all this time?

@@chayseferrier3793 ooh didn't get a noti. It's still an amazing laptop because it can run any game you throw at it and you'll still be able to play comfortably. And I still get surprised to this day how all of this power can be packed in a laptop. One thing though. This laptop has pretty good cooling (so temps will be 60s-80s depending on the settings you play on) but the thermal limit for the CPU is 75C. That's the biggest downside of this laptop. Unlike the intel variants, the amd version throttles at 75 from 3.2ghz to 1.98 ghz. It's not that big of a deal since it keeps the temps low but you will lose a LOT of fps in cpu demanding games like fortnite. I also recommend you to upgrade to 16 gb dual channel as the ryzen apu is ram hungry. And you'll need to optimize the laptop quite a bit because I find that stock windows settings are very stuttery in games. And one last thing. Since its a budget laptop, everything is made of plastic and can be broken pretty easily. I've NEVER taken this laptop out of my house (like to a library in a bag) and it's always been on my table. I only open and close the lid twice a day but the screen hinge still managed to break. (and that's mainly because its made of cheap material). So now I have to be very careful opening and closing the laptop screen but it still manages to stay upright. Other than that, if you're not going to take this anywhere and you're not expecting esport level performance (even though it can manage to get 130 fps in fortnite and around 144 in csgo), this laptop is great for you. ok im done my essay thanks for reading

Good to hear I've been able to help!

Yep, I've added a pinned comment.

No problem!

Yeah could have been interesting if they gave you the option of selecting between battery/disk 🤔

I guess it's what you use it for. I use mine for more than just gaming so it's handy to have that HDD in there. I don't game unless I'm plugged in so I don't see an issue with battery life

Since it has 2 nvme slots and 1tb SSD out of the box (at least mine configuration), larger battery would be far better choice and i is pretty much the only thing I would change on this laptop. You can always use external HDD if you run out of that 1tb (most people wont) if you are desperate and not willing to buy second ssd. Like seriously, who would use HDD nowadays when ssd is so much faster and relative cheap.

Thanks! Good to hear it's going well 👍

Thanks!

Cheers, still hoping to get that one to test out!

Cheers mate, Merry Christmas to you too!

Titles that are CPU heavy such as Far Cry 5, AC : Odyssey will run significantly better on the i7 9750h. And even in non CPU heavy titles you can expect a 5% increase in FPS.

No plans unfortunately, after all this time I've still never been sent a 9300H laptop so I can't do the video fairly.

😁

Austin Evan:get a Helios it’s much better even tho it’s above 1000 dollars (much more expensive in canada reaches up to BLOODY $2000)

Cheers, same to you! Good to hear it's going well 👍

So, how is it after one month of use?

@@eurovlad I have had it since May last year and its great. I do tend to put the fans at max whenever I play for extended periods just to be on the safe side as the processor can get really hot even with the now stock 0.10 undervolt. I wear sound isolating ear phones so the noise doesn't bother me. It stays reasonably cool with peaks of 96 degrees celsius while 'average' is around the mid eighties when playing titles like Red Dead Redemption 2 at max settings. The GPU doesn't much break a sweat when using max fan. Cooling just seems to work really well for such a thin light laptop.

I'm one of the people who actually appreciate the reference.

They’re*

Good to hear!

Thanks! I guess compared to those Triton is more money, so you'd have to decide if you want to increase the budget further. Between the Helios and Y540 I assume you've seen my comparison? If not, it should hopefully have everything you need to decide between them: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pt-XmrSrv9OxZH0.html

@@JarrodsTech Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have seen the review. What I have found by seeing the reviews and replies on Reddit, is that Y540 during normal circumstances or daily usage (non-gaming), the fan is not that loud, plus the aesthetics make it a better choice for me. Regarding, the Triton500, I have seen the reviews on Amazon, that it has screen blackout issues. Though I like Triton500, the reason being its semi-gaming design i.e. its between the Y540 (casual) and Helios300 (gaming) look. But that blackout issue is serious for me.

I'll see what I can do, definitely want to review the Triton 300 at the very least.

Yes I meant to say Triton 500.

@@JarrodsTech )

@@JarrodsTechBtw, Merry Xmas!

Cheers mate, same to you!

Could be a good combo for esports titles!

Asus tuf fx505dt is similar price/specs to nitro 5 but with a 120hz screen.

Well, mine nitro 5 515-54 has 144hz :)

In my region the Nitro 5 comes with a 144Hz display. Also, there's an option for an 8th gen i5 with a GTX1650 and 120Hz display which is $200 cheaper than the 9th gen one. :)

I believe it's the exact same chassis, however unless they sell in Australia I'm not able to get it :(

Good to hear it's going well!

How loud it is on heavy games?

Thanks! Honestly I can't recall the difference in fan noise as I didn't use them side by side, so you'd be able to check by reviewing my videos on both. I'd go for the mag 15 if you want to spend more money to get the bigger battery, Thunderbolt, mech keyboard and SD card slot. I also can't recall thermal differences at this point, but yeah again you can refer to my full reviews of either and compare results as I've done the same testing.

Cheers! Out of the box I'd expect the Helios to perform better, as turbo mode overclocks it and it's undervolted, but you can of course do these things yourself to the GP65, so it will probably perform similarly afterwards. It's hard for me to say differences in terms of things like thermals and battery life though, as I've never had a GL65 to test.

@@JarrodsTech THANKS MAN, subbed and bell clicked. Also the like button is blue on my screen Cheers!

I'd like to, I just haven't had the chance to get any i5 laptops yet.

Nice one!

Merry Christmas to you too!

Cheers!

It certainly helps for comparison purposes as most of the time I get sent stuff at different times, but I prefer having all options available so I can do fresh up to date testing under the same conditions!

Woohoo!

Cheers, Merry Christmas to you too!

I would expect Helios to perform better, however I have not had both with same specs to fairly compare. Helios has a more aggressive undervolt, higher CPU power limit as it's slightly thicker so more cooling allows them to give it a higher power limit.

Thanks!

I'll see what I can do, but won't be til I get back from CES mid January at a minimum, so definitely don't wait on me if it's on sale.

I’m thinking about buying it soon, how good does it run?

Ordered mine today

I thought I fixed it in editing, guess not. Metric is correct, based on what Acer provides on their website. The rest is my own conversion using Google, so mistakes get made.

Could vary, my Triton had WiFi 6 but Helios was 5. Usually the wifi card is just a $20 thing you can upgrade if you want.
