    Good price however refurbished.

    The Acer Predator Helios 300 Gaming Laptop, Intel Core i7 CPU, GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, VR Ready, 15.6" Full HD, 16GB DDR4, 256GB SSD, Red Backlit KB, Metal Chassis, G3-571-77QK

    Is about AUD 1,673.10 after shipping and handling and import fees desposit is considered and calculated. Also no AU plug only US.

    Not sure of the panel quality of each one but the only real differences are the increased SSD storage space and more stronger cpu on the Acer Predator Helios 300.

    Weight is also increased on the Acer at 2.7 kg vs 2.24 kg on this Asus so that could be a deciding factor.

      Would you be kind enough, my good sir, to include a link to this product?

      Also good to remember that most products shipped from the US (so Amazon.com) do not include international warranty and even if your laptop arrives DOA, they won't accept returns.

      • AlienC on 29/09/2017 - 14:14

        Very true. Thanks for reminding me and pointing it out sometimes the minor savings is not worth the rng doa and etc warranty problems hassle.

        • vbhaskar on 29/09/2017 - 15:20

          Yes indeed. Warranty is a critical factor if we are spending thousands of $$$$ on these laptops…

    Screen size seems small for a so called high end notebook…

    • martin_henry on 29/09/2017 - 12:50

      Why? "High-end" refers to actual computing performance. Ever carried around a 3kg 17" laptop? not my idea of fun.

        In my day, the price of a laptop determined what screen size you ended up with. Low end notebooks had rubbish passive matrix 11 or 12" screens, the mid-range models had 13.3" TFTs (active matrix), and the high end machines had 14" and later 15" screens.

          Screen sizes again has nothing to do with screen resolution. If you think a $1600 laptop is considered high end, you should maybe look at the Asus Zephyrus. The price alone will make you cringe.

        • MrZ on 29/09/2017 - 12:57

          @azukay:

          $4999? Not that cringe worthy, as my basic entry level laptop in 1997 was $4000… and decent machines were 6k or more back then. But 15.6" is still a joke.

          @MrZ:

          You got to move with the times man, for $3000 you can get something (metabox) that does similar job as the $5k Asus although it doesn't have the "wow" factor as the Asus.

          15.6 is perfect for people who do FIFO or some travelling and gaming.

        • MrZ on 29/09/2017 - 13:05

          @azukay:

          Moving with the times means progress. Smaller screens is the opposite of progress. A 15.6" screen is smaller than the 15" (4:3) screen that I had on my Pentium 4 laptop 15 years ago!! Mobile phone screens are getting larger, desktop PC screens are getting larger… that's moving with the times.

          @MrZ: Sorry would disagree there, moving with the times means that manufacturers are designing models that suit people's needs, not lumping them with a defined size if they want 'midranged'.

          There are people out there who would like a lightweight laptop that would be capable of playing the occasional game, but would prefer not to lug around 3KG.

          Case in point for the Gigabyte Aero15.

          Your "range" is precisely that, a range of models to suit different purposes and needs. Midrange and "high-end" defined by what the capabilities of the laptop are in combination with the components. Screen size is just 1. A 17" laptop with 720p resolution is not my idea of "high end".

          Mobile Phone screen sizes will reach a 'critical mass' point in which they would not be practical. The Galaxy Note and iPhone Plus models are already reaching that point.

        • azukay on 29/09/2017 - 13:48

          @MrZ: Smaller screens is not the opposite of progress, the meaning of a laptop means just that, a computer small enough to sit on your lap. A 17 inch screen has always been and is always will be considered to be desktop replacement.

          Your argument regarding desktop PC screens getting larger is irrelevant to laptops. The purpose of a laptop is for mobility or if you have space constraints. Mobile screens are getting larger because it is a trend, trends come and go. In addition mobile screens will cap out at 6 to 7 inches as that is the max size of most pockets.

          Progress and moving with the times have got nothing to do with screen size when it comes to laptop computers, the tech is already mature enough for making larger screen sizes, by your argument by the year 3000 due to progress we should all be having 60 inch laptops right?

        • MrZ on 29/09/2017 - 13:57

          @azukay:

          I realise that there is a ceiling to how large a screen can get, but what I'm saying is that today's screens are smaller than some 15 years ago!! That's unacceptable. In fact, today's 16:9 laptop screens are smaller than the 16:10 screens of 10 years ago, and less "usable" due to the aspect ratio. As such, the size needs to be increased to compensate for this loss.

        • AlienC on 29/09/2017 - 14:19

          @MrZ: I hope you are joking or high or just tired atm otherwise you are making no sense. Each size and weight form factor serves their own purpose just like a mobile phone and a desktop computer both serve their own purpose..

          for example a nice smaller 11" - 14" laptop will fit much nicely inside a smaller backpack and generally be easier to carry around and take much less space than a large 15.6" - 17" laptop but of course a nicer larger laptop will be easier to read and easier for the eyes.

        • azukay on 29/09/2017 - 14:22

          @MrZ: There are bigger screened laptops on the market though? I still don't get your argument. a 16:9 vs 16:10 screen you lose maybe 10% of screen estate, for the majority of consumers they do not perceive much difference. Years ago 15 inch laptops with 16:10 were 15.1 inches now monitors with 16:9 ratio are 15.6 inches. The market has already adjusted slightly to compensate for the overall area.

          If you really want a larger screen and do not give a rats arse about weight and size then why not just go 17 inch.
          There are even some light weight 17 inches available https://www.msi.com/Laptop/GS73VR-7RF-Stealth-Pro/Specificat… or http://metabox.com.au/store/Prime-S-Range

          You complain about progress, but I see plenty of progress in the laptop world, in fact we are spoilt for choices. Here is a small laptop too: https://www.gearbest.com/tablet-pcs/pp_613003.html

        • azukay on 29/09/2017 - 14:26

          @MrZ: Also from a productivity point of view wide screens are just superior. I work in the health industry and I frequently compare CT/PET/MRI/Ultrasound and widescreens are extremely handy as side by side comparisons are just invaluable as opposed to constantly alt tab between DICOM images.

          You can say get 2 monitors, but that is horrible for ergonomics, I rather scan with my eyes than with my neck.

        • iLoveYourFace on 29/09/2017 - 15:21

          @MrZ: 15" is what a medium-large backpack can hold. Laptops are made to be easily portable, so anything larger than 15" becomes a lot less portable. There are plenty of 17" options available if you need it

        • MrZ on 29/09/2017 - 16:21

          @azukay:

          They were 15.4". The 0.2" increase wasn't really enough to compensate - the size should have really went up to 16".

        • Salmando on 29/09/2017 - 16:39

          @MrZ:
          What is wrong with you? You basically stated an incorrect fact, now you're trying to justify your opinion with nonsense.

          Back in my day, my 15.4 inch Toshiba cost a fortune. 5.4gb HDD, 32mb ram, that sweet 800x600, and a floppy drive. For about $600, they also had a high end model. 13 inch screen 1024x768, 128mb ram, 12gb hdd, and had IR. It was also much slimmer.

          High end has never been about the screen. I love my 17-18 inch screens, but most people find out more humorous than innovative.

          As for the ratio - don't play stupid

        • azukay on 29/09/2017 - 18:10

          @Salmando: well I was trying to be tactful, but I guess that doesn't always work.

      • trustnoone on 29/09/2017 - 14:53

        My current laptop is a 17" Asus ROG, I think it weighs about 4kg (its a few years old). Works great but agreed, never fitting in my bag, sooo heavy to carry around and I don't feel its too different to a 15" screen once I get sucked into a game.

        Will definitely go 15" in the future.

      Screen size has got nothing to do with a high end notebook.

      You can have a low end notebook running 17 inch screen, in fact a larger screen = larger computer = cheaper manufacturing process.

      Powerful laptops in smaller and lighter form factor will always cost more. More engineering is required to get the sound and thermals under control.

      Either way last gen CPU (not that this gen is much better) and a GTX 1060 is not exactly considered high end, it is more mid range.

      You have to acknowledge that if the screen size increases, it becomes much harder to move around because it most likely weighs more and because you physically cannot fit it inside a bag. As martin_henry already explained, increasing the screen size by 2" makes it exponentially harder to carry around. Seeing that the main benefit of a laptop over a desktop is its portability, you can appreciate why 15.6" tends to be the most popular screen for gaming notebooks. Moreover, the colour accuracy, refresh rate, response time and size of laptop screens pale in comparison to desktop monitors unlike other components inside laptops vs desktops, so if you really cared about the screen size, you should consider investing in a monitor (even a shitty one from gumtree or smth would be bigger than your laptop screen) to plug your laptop into.
