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

For the money its about as good as it gets, at this time. Its not the most portable and doesnt get a lot of life off the battery, but that isnt the features Im looking for with this purchase. The screen is good. It loads very fast. Its easily upgraded (ram and hd)

Laptop ran well right out of the box, was charged about 70% on arrival. Packaging nice and sturdy. Laptop works great, have had for almost a year and it is still working the same as new. Screen quality is good, runs really well. Can play newest games on High graphics easily. Several games on Ultra-High are limited to 60 fps, but most people who buy laptops for gaming dont expect more. Fans do run very loudly though, dont expect to game quietly. You can manually control the fans, but I find it best to let the laptop choose, as it is very good at knowing what speed to set the fans to. It doesnt run the fans high until you get into games, and it will slowly decrease after exiting the game rather than dropping the fans immediately. Its also a very cool-looking laptop in my opinion.

If youre looking for a quality gaming laptop on a semi-budget, this is it. Most other laptops in this price range, do not offer the same specs or screen quality.

Love the fans that cool off laptop. Quick processor. Awesome gaming computer.

This computer can run games really smoothly and they look great, especially the resolution and 144 hrz monitor. but sadly, this pile of garbage is a glorified paper weight and runs EVEN MINECRAFT and GARRYS MOD super hot. once it gets up there in temperature which, even when the fans are set to max with coolboost on, the whole thing slows to a snails pace. this actually worthless (for gaming) computer is only good for the most casual of web browsing. it has a horrible cooling system, and the screen also bugs out every now and then. overall, this is not even worth 200 let alone the THOUSAND spent on it.

The hardware within this machine was very good although the CPU would get very hot 99 degrees Celcius, soon after the computer would stutter and get minor freezes for that reason I returned the item. Not very happy with the cooling.

999$ On Black Friday. It’s perfect for this price!

- Plays everything Iv thrown at it on max with no problems.

Not even 2yr broke

This is an extremely high performance laptop with a few of the expected cons of being in this price range (battery life, limited storage out of the box, can get quite hot). Overall the pros far outweigh the cons and I feel great about the purchase. It runs newer games extremely well on high settings without any kinds of performance issues. If you want to get full use of the beautiful 144 hz screen you might need to turn a few graphical settings but its well worth it. I should point out that I did initially have some heat issues with this laptop where temperatures would consistently be above 90c on demanding games which caused throttling and massive frame drops. I fixed this by undervolting the CPU by 100 MV using throttlestop and running the fans at max speed during gameplay. This has completely solved the issue for me. If you wanted to you could also apply a quality thermal paste or buy a cooling pad but its probably not necessary.
