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

Got this in the mail today. Shipped in a very secure box and was in prestine condition. Powered up and runs awesome! I immediately installed software for my oculus rift and ran it that night in a few games. The fans reved up and kept up with cooking demands while running the very technical games and never missed a beat for the 2-3 hours I used it. Didn’t even need the overclocking. Great computer. Would 100% buy again! Be sure to get the extra hard drive if you order the one that doesn’t come with the second one. Really helps store everything.

Ive only had it for a few days, but so far I love it. I can actually play Dead by Daylight without any lag. I just installed an HDD and for some reason it didnt come with the screws to mount the caddy to the HDD, so I do have to order those (which is mildly annoying). Ill update this review as I use the laptop more and download the rest of my games.

Ive been using this computer for about a month so far and Ive been pleased. The touchpad works fine and with the SSD the boot up time is great. I put a secondary hard drive in and the installation was easy. Ive read complaints about the fan noise but Ive noticed it occasionally when gaming but it hasnt been bad at all. I usually wear headphones anyway. My only complaint is the finish does show smudges easily and the lid can show little scratches also easily. The performance has been great so far. Ive done a little gaming and have not noticed any lag. Ive been happy with the purchase.

Amazing laptop

i have owned this laptop for almost 2 years now and I think I can write a review now. I can simply just not recommend it in my own experience simply because of the Overheating issues I have tried everything I repasted it on multiple occasions with different thermal pastes I have undervolted it i have bought a cooling pad I have set the CPU max power to 70% I have cleaned out the fans and grills nothing has worked. i think this is a problem with just mine as i see other people on forums who say they repasted once and they dont go over 70 but under heavy loads and gaming i get lucky if it the temp goes below 90 degrees it is a constant 95 and on idle it averages at around 60 to 80 and spikes up to 98 degrees C of course. but in every other aspect it is a great laptop and it runs what every you need it to perfectly and it is prbobaly one of the best deals you can get for a laptop with a i7 and a 1060 but i am stuck with it and just have to deal with the boiling water temps and lets just see how long this thig lasts was it worth 1000$? no as i am 15 as of writng this and that monye took a long time to get i wasted a 1000 dollars on a water boiler

I have bought this laptop for congratulating him for his orchestra scores. he was very excited and happy. He said he has looked through the reviews a lot and knew what he needed. he says he Reccomends you buy a laptop cooler if you want this

Wanted to wait to see if seller would help even for money to suppott but none from seller also found out seller damaged internals when looking to try and fix. Laptop could have potential the issue is with the seller computer upgrade experts no help just a few months out of warranty, not looking for much would even pay but 0 help, definitly not experts, Buyer be ware, learned my lesson and I think this is Amazon backed, will not purchase anymore high tech items from Amazon

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.

I bought this laptop due to its Power to handle higher end games and art programs. It has good reviews.

It’s fast and the processing is smooth, could only make one thing better is the battery life and it would be a perfect laptop
