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

Genial

This laptop was great for the first few weeks of use. It ran slightly warm but with some adjustments and optimization would stay below 80 degrees on both cpu and gpu temp. However, it is already experiencing BSOD issues and then boots to an error indicating there is no boot drive. A hard power reset will allow it to boot again normally, however it encounters this error within 30 minutes of use now.

This is my first gaming computer of any kind. I didnt know what to expect. I was just hoping for better graphics than my old Lenovo Ideapad would allow. I was also hoping that my game would load quicker. I was shocked at the graphics on this laptop. And it takes probably less than 3 minutes to go from desktop to playing my game. I have no idea what half of the features even mean because I lack in the area of technological knowledge, but I do understand that it comes with an HD screen - which it awesome. I use my Predator for Sims 4, browsing the internet, and streaming videos and movies. I cant speak to the quality of gaming for other games (because I dont play other games), but this laptop is AMAZING for Sims 4. I enjoy playing with custom content and Ive had zero issues with the amount of content that I continue to pile into this things memory. On my old Lenovo, I would literally have to wait a solid 5mins for the screen to pop up after clicking the icon on my desktop. Then an additional 10 actual minutes for it to open up to the games Home Screen. Then another 5-10 mins for it to load my family. The lag on my old Lenovo was absolutely terrible. In comparison to the piece of junk I was playing on before, the Predator Helios 300 is amazing. The tasks flow seamlessly. All I could think about was a sharp knife sliding through butter as I discovered the wonder I had been missing. My game loads in what feels like the blink of an eye. Theres no lag at all. Downloading custom content is super fast (especially considering I download massive amounts of content at one time and throw it in a zip file). The quality of my gaming experience has improved so dramatically with this laptop that I honestly dont think I could ever go back to anything else - let alone a none-gaming laptop. 100% buy this if youre on a budget and are addicted to Sims. Im doing the payment plan through amazon prime. It was worth every single penny the second I got past Cortanas annoying setup routine (which was super fast and easy BTW).

Were having problems with the equipment. My son called the manufacturer and they keep giving him instructions in order to fix the computer software problems, but it didnt work. They just told him to call the customer service line for latin people. This a gaming computer and the computer keep having problems. I want a new equipment because I paid $1,336.89 for this merchandise.

Hi. there was no plug core whit my laptop is it right like that let me know pls thanks

Out of nowhere it won’t boot or work with more than 40% battery while charging which doesn’t let the GPU to boost making gaming painful.

- Ive read a lot of reviews about laptops in this price range and settled on this one for its great value for the price. I bought it for my remote Software Engineering work and to play some games, like PUBG, Battlefield, and Rocket League.

Great laptop! Runs all my games well so far. It does tend to get pretty hot though while playing. I will probably get a cooling pad.

No Display Port in 2019, applications get corrupted and it heats up the keyboard to an uncomfortable level.

Defective keyboard, the letter U key is defective
