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

Amazing laptop. The upgraded screen on the this model is well worth the extra money. The screen is much brighter and smoother than the previous model. It does get warm and a cooling pad helps. I also undervolted the cpu a little and that kept the temps way down during heavy gaming sessions. The build quality is excellent and adding a second drive helps with large games. Overall very pleased and happy I spent the money on the new model.

Awesome laptop I love it

I bought this Laptop on May 2019 and suddenly in November while I was playing, it shut off by its self and never get back to life, only after 6M it get broken.

The monitor is fantastic. The 144hz refresh rate is amazing for gaming. The imaging is very smooth and noticeably better than 60hz on my tv.

I’ve had this product for less than 45 days and am now having to ‘send it in’ for repairs. No help. No sorry. No concern that I’m out of town on business without a working computer. Thanks Acer. I’ve learned a valuable lesson.

This really is an okay laptop. The price was great but the price really shows. The USB ports are disappointing, there is only one USB 3.0 port. If you are expecting to be able to play demanding video games in long sessions, this is not the laptop for you. The AC Adapter is woefully under powered and the laptop often exceeds the power that is able to be delivered to it making long gaming sessions impossible. Its boggles the mind why they make gaming laptops with underpowered adapters ones that are this thin. They are gaming laptops, not mainstream laptops. If they are truly meant to be portable desktop replacements. They need to be able to properly cool themselves, have adequate power supply, have a good USB ports, and have a microphone and headphone jack. For a supposed gaming laptop. It doesnt seem to target gamer very well. Until it can be figured out, gaming laptops have no business being ultra thin, or this thin. Cooling solutions simply can not handle it. The rating I gave this is at my view generous as it is. So to conclude a plea to Acer. Either make thicker laptops so they are able to properly cool themselves and so they can take advantage of their full power. Or not be considered by serious customers.

Low FPS

Laptop working grade so fast and nice

Awesome Laptop by far the best Ive had. Its not nearly as expensive as most gaming laptops out there. Poor Battery life us the only complaunt Ive had, wouldt recommend playing games on the go with this.

This laptop has way surpassed my expectations. Provided it is an expensive laptop, its been better than I hoped. It can keep up with some builds that are thousands. However, it does get very hot. To counter this, ive used Intel XTU and undervolted it, and used custom fan settings on the predator sense. If you decide to use XTU do some research. Overall great laptop
