Acer Predator Helios 300 Gaming Laptop PC, 15.6 FHD IPS w/ 144Hz Refresh, Intel i7-8750H, GTX 1060 6GB, 16GB DDR4, 256GB NVMe SSD, Aeroblade Metal Fans PH315-51-78NP

Wonderful laptop, I use it to play Apex, R6 and Ark and it seems to do really well. The battery life is almost nonexistent though, but that is to be expected. Wouldnt suggest having it in your lap as it can get extremely hot. Other than that though, its great!

My older son has the same Acer model and loves it. I bought this one for my other son to use for home schooling as a result of COVID19. Unfortunately the computer worked for about 3 hours then started making buzzing noises and crashed. I contacted Acer and went through a series of diagnostics to figure out the issue. They said it was either a hard drive or mother board problem and recommended I return it. The computer was returned it to the Amazon retailer March 30th. The good news is Amazon and their vendor lived up to their end of the bargain. My complete purchase price was refunded so that’s a good thing.

The laptop screen quality is good. Its 144hz and videos and pictures looks nice on it. Gaming was also alright for it for the first year or so. It ran smoothly and didnt experience anything major. However, I started encountering heating issues after around 6 months. I even used turbo boost on the predator sense software and cleaned out the fans from dust. I would not recommend this laptop to anyone who is looking to use it for long term. It would randomly turn off when gaming and I tried everything from updating software, reseting windows, updating BIOS, etc. Now it just flickers on and off and doesnt even turn on anymore. It is quite disappointing especially considering that this cost $1,000+.

My only dislike is that it gets very loud.

Overheats like mad and died in under a year. You can find way better. It’s a known and very common issue that they don’t give a damn about.

I will admit that Acer is not typically the brand that you think of for high performance -- gaming or not. After using this for a few days, I am completely tickled impressed!

Respecto al envío y el producto muy bien, me llegó todo en muy buenas condiciones. No doy 5 estrellas porque NO VIENE CON DISCO DURO y hay que comprarlo aparte, sólo trae disco sólido. Además hay que actualizar los drivers de la máquina si no te aparece el molesto pantallazo de No boot device.

I really love this laptop. The only reason why I’m giving it 3 starts if because how can you give someone a laptop where the graphics card doesn’t work? I know a friend who knows computer stuff so don’t try and send another laptop where it doesn’t work or send it back where you couldn’t fix.

Use this computer for over two months for gaming mostly.

Después de un par de meses de uso constante puedo decir que la computadora ha superado muchísimo mis expectativas, y no sólo en cuanto a los videojuegos sino también en los distintos softwares que utilizo día a día. Los drivers se mantienen actualizados constantemente gracias a NVIDIA GeForce Experience. Si gustan algún videojuego popular como referencia: Fortnite y Apex Legends corren sin problemas en configuraciones altas.
