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

Lovely

Great computer to be honest. Super light, you can even carry it around with one hand and comes in a nice little packing box if you are travelling or just going to a coffee place with it. Super fast, I havent a had problem running newer games like FF XV, Batman AK, and AC Odyssey. It does get a little hot tho but its because you will be running intense graphic games so just make sure to have it in a nice wind flowing area, if you play with AC on then youll be completely fine. As for the noisy... come on now, people really expect something completely silent while making the computer run heavy programs? Its not that loud, its like having those small fans people use in Disneyland and even quiter than that. Battery life yeah its low but oh well deal with it and figure it out. Overall great computer no complaints definitely worth the money, just wait for a discount it would be even a better purchase.

Excelente maquina.

I got two of these - one is great (hence a two star, not 0) the other crashes all the time. Gives an unbootable device type error message and I have to shut it down and restart.

Im not sure why it didnt come with a 1TB HDD like I thought it would have. Unless I cant find it or something this machine comes with very low memory/storage. With just 256Gig I see this filling up VERY fast and slowing my gaming experience down. PLUS NO RGB IITS STUCK ON RED ONLY

This is the second Acer gaming laptop Ive had, and both times theyve had strange problems with WiFi connections where theres a non-trivial chance that the network settings are going to just be completely unavailable (as in, I cant even view what networks are available to connect to, the network & internet settings program wont even load, I have no internet connection, and network diagnostics cant help at all). The problem happens regardless of what connection Im using, regardless of the computers temperature. Internet forums seem to suggest that this might be a consistent problem that others with the same model have as well. The laptop works great for the first 6-8 months, and then these network problems pop up randomly. Sometimes Ive been able to resolve it by restarting the computer a few times, sometimes it seems I have to let the computer sit for several hours. It just happened again, and neither of those are fixing it so I guess Im going to have to resort to a full system restore. Its such a shame, because the laptop is such a great value otherwise - but perhaps issues like this are exactly why.

It came with a dead pixel in the middle of the screen. Everything works fine, its a beautiful gaming labtop, but by god since ive got it ive had to try and ignore it every time I use it. I dont think there can even be done about it and its just upsetting

So, I bought this last month and will list a few issues Ive had with it, so that anyone in my position knows what they are getting into:

This Laptop gets hot as heck. Even with a high quality laptop cooler. I would suggest looking elsewhere if you want something that wont burn your lap when gaming. After all, it is called a LAPtop for a reason, right?

I was incredibly excited to buy this laptop, but noticed a massive issue after only a couple days of use... It overheats like crazy. Seriously, 75C+ just running singleplayer Minecraft! Even after purchasing a cooling pad and undervolting the system, the temperatures are as awful as ever. Some of the other games I purchased (like U-Boat) literally cannot be played for more than a few minutes before the primary CPU hits 90C. I’ve sent it in to Acer’s service corp today for them to take a look, and can only hope that this issue will be addressed.
