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

Bought for gaming and works amazingly

Nice specs. I mean a Core 8th Generation Intel Core i7-8750H and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060, for that price is just right. But of course it does feel cheap, it gets hot as hell and my laptop has de USB C loose.

Buyer Beware! I opened this up and was greeted with seizure inducing screen flicker. I then looked online and there are posts everywhere about this unresolved issue. Thank goodness I cam return it for a refund. So disappointed.

Arrived earlier than expected, so far I’ve encountered no problems with the product, it runs well and can handle pretty much everything I do on it. One downside I did come across was that it would get warm very quickly while gaming, mainly around the left side of the keyboard, this issue seemed to have fixed itself when I put the fans on max. Overall great laptop for the price.

Fast dependable, does not over heat, great graphics, good value for the price.

Ordered this laptop in August 2019. It has worked great up until recently, where I started getting BSODs in Windows. I was able to determine (through my own troubleshooting - more on that later...) that one of the sticks of RAM was faulty. Since the laptop was still under warranty, I contacted Acer Tech support. Those calls are the reason I will never buy another Acer product.

Chances are you know a bit about computers if youve made your way through all of the laptop options to this guy. If you are new to buying computers, I will break down some of the specs, what they mean, and what I feel their value is. If not, scroll to the end for my final thoughts.

I really like this machine. It gets hot but there are ways around it.

very nice

Good Laptop but gets very hot and thermal throttles when gaming. Temps range from 90 to 98 degrees celcius and causes my games to drop frames intermittently. Had to use throttle stop to help with throttling. Cpu runs very fast and smooth. Gpu is not the greatest but decent enough to run my editing softwares and play casual games on medium to high settings.
