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

Ive had this for about a month and have had no issues. Performance-wise it runs great! Flawless operation with all the in-game graphic settings maxed.

This laptop is fantastic at everything... except for its audio that is rivaled by only maybe one of those old car door buzzers from the late 80s. Listening to music? Itll sound like its on the worlds oldest record player and pop and crackle incessantly. Watching a video? Its like seeing a movie in theaters in the 50s. The audio crackles and pops and Ive spent dozens of hours researching how to fix, but theres just nothing.

I got this laptop 20% off. For current gen and “pro” games I can get get 60 FPS in everygame be warned that a 1060 will NOT get you 144 FPS in all current gen games unless settings are tweaked to the lowest possible. Games like Diablo 3, overwatch, fortnite run at above an average of 100 FPS with settings at high to max. I tested black ops 4 all modes run at 60 with vsync in with little to no dips (except an occasional glitch where textures would not load right away) I’d say this laptop is amazing for the price right now. The CPU does run hot at times which worries me a little. Acer has made amazing quality laptops for the past 6+ years that my family had used them. The quality of this is great. It’s thinner than my last gen laptop which was an MSI GT60 and I’m impressed. If your looking to get 144 FPS is every game on a laptop at 1080p your going to need to spend another $1000 dollars.

Good product

Yo, dope af

not really good but worth the price

First of all, gotta put out there that the etched finish it has gives you like a vibrating feeling when you rub it.

I shopped for a few months and kept coming back to this laptop. I got this laptop for school more than gaming. It is a little large for portability but thats fine with me, I am older and like the larger aspects of the laptop. As far as performance it has been great. It took about an hour to set it up and update everything. The fans tend to be a bit on the noisy side, but not so bad that its a negative. Not much bloatware at all. The keyboard layout is nice. I did play WoW on it with no issues whatsoever. I have an additional 500g ssd to install and that should make this unit good to go for a reasonable period of time.

It was great until a few months ago when it started shutting itself off. Sometimes in the first few minutes of use, usually while typing. No issues overheating and it was never moved or dropped so Im not sure why its happening.
