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

Wouldn’t recommend. Got this laptop paid 1200! For it all it does is over heat. Fast forward 6 months later GPU just randomly stops working. Not only that not even a month after I brought this one the newer Model comes out for same price and this models price drops significantly. Waste of money. Don’t get me wrong it’s a beast of a laptop with amazing specs but you better have this thing being cooled by a radiator it just produces way too much heat which degrades components over time.

Great laptop overall the 144Hz refresh rate is straight fire but it overheats way too easily if I want to run big games like fortnite note I am a competitive player I would have to run it at everything on low or off and at 50% graphics if I want 144fps with an extra cooling pad may I add.

Overall I love this machine and it brought me a lot of fun during last 7months. A key popped off and it took me forever to put it back.

The laptop is great. Cannot get a better configuration for the money. But it does heat up and fast. I did not even try any VR yet, because I think that could fry it. And a cooling pad does not help that much. I would seriously consider getting a 17.3 inch next, for this reason alone. The screen is amazing and it is the only IPS with 144MHz I found. Overall ahppy with my choice, but this is for what I need.

heat to much....

I bought three of these for the family. Fast and responsive, i added a 2 tb ss hard drive to them and they have done what i have asked them to do. Great laptop for the price

Absolutely love the 144hz screen. This thing is a beast, it runs CEMU w/ BotW at nearly 60fps solid and many native games push 80-100 fps. I run the Unreal editor and have had a great experience in there, fast and responsive, shaders compile quickly.

Ive owned this computer for about 2 years now, and at the time I purchased it, it was fantastic. Obviously as the years go on, games become more demanding, but at the time of release this computer could keep up with many games. I use this computer to live stream, edit YouTube videos, and play games. This laptop, even with a GTX 1060, is more than capable for basic editing and just playing games. Live streaming and playing games however is a different story, which is to be expected. Running a triple A game along side 7 other apps in the background while streaming is incredibly CPU and GPU intensive and it shows in the performance. Personally, I havent had any issues off stream with performance aside from the occasional frame drops, up until the past few months. The computer is now overheating VERY quickly, even in a well ventilated area, which is understandable considering what I put the machine through. However, it has gotten to the point now to where even just playing a game like minecraft, which at the basic graphic settings isnt demanding, it clocks up to 85 Celsius within 30 min of playing. If youre looking for a gaming laptop, I wouldnt purchase this particular model, especially at the price point. The newer ones have a faster CPU and GPU for only $100-$200 more. Overall, ive had a great experience with this laptop and would recommend purchasing the newer model to anyone :)

Ive had my predator for a few months now and I absolutely love it. You might hear people saying it has heating problems but I use a fan pad and manually adjust the fan speed (easy to do with the desktop app for it) and, although it gets pretty warm, it doesnt get too hot. Id definitely recommend this to any and all of my friends

Overheats to the point when it start burning your fingers, and thats just one of many problems with this laptop.
