    Hi Dave!! I bought my first gaming laptop and based it off of your reviews. I got the Acer Predator Triton 500 with a GTX 2060.

    Anyway, I heard on one of your videos that you always do a “clean install” of windows 10, and undervault the laptops for maximum calibration.. I wonder if you can give me a step by step on how to do it? And give me more information to take care of my laptop better.. all help would be appreciated!!!

    Thank you so much!!

  3. Hello.. what’s your opinion about the Acer Predator Triton 300 with the i5 CPU? Is it worthy it or should I go for the Helios 300?

  4. According to notebookcheck, the left palm rest could reach up to 40 degree celsius when gaming. So BIG NO NO

    I just bought this machine, in part based on this and other really positive reviews. But I am hoping someone on here can chime in on one factor: Prior to this, I had an older Acer Nitro 5. (Not the newer model.) The trackpad was very smooth. Very little difference between the trackpad feel and the feel of the body casing next to it. But on the Triton 500, right away I noticed a difference in the texture of the trackpad itself. (Not the functionality but the literal feel of it.) It has a rougher texture, almost a "chalkboard" kind of feel to it. I wasn't sure whether this was normal, a decision Acer made for the build, or something faulty with mine. It works fine, but the texture is noticeably different. Has anyone else noticed this? If so, can anyone guess why this choice was made, rather than a more glasslike feel? Is it somehow meant to improve responsiveness or something? I know I'll be gaming with a mouse, but with basic productivity work, I tend to use the trackpad. Thank you!

    This is basically a helios 300 thin and light version, but I love it.

    Is the battery life on a 300hz Triton 500 the same as a same speced Triton 500 with 144hz if you lower the refresh rate in windows

    I’m looking for laptop to use in clamshell mode most of the time. Does running this closed while hooked up to a monitor, keyboard and mouse make it run hot?

    specifically the bottom one…

    AVOID THIS LAPTOP! I got the Triton 500 rtx 2060 last year and 13 months later it’s already dead. Just randomly last week the laptop stopped connecting to the AC/power adaptor. I’m told there is either an issue with the power brick, the power port on the side of the machine or the mother board itself. This repair might cost me at least £500- £1200?! What a disgusting rip off. AVOID!

    Can you please tell the differences between Triton 300 and Triton 500? I wasn't able to find it anywhere, not even on Acer website.

  19. Grizz The Bear

    does it have a 3.0 or higher USB ports and a 1.2 or higher display port?

    (edit: recommended for the VR headset I am going to buy)

    Future me response: this is the 2019 version. I got.. I mean you are going to get the 2020 version. 3.2 USB ports + 1.4 mini display port.
