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

I got this computer to game on, switching from PS4. Firstly, if you are thinking about making the switch to pc gaming I would highly recommend you do and this pc would not be a bad place to start at all. I have been playing Apex legends, Destiny 2 and a few others with no issues at mostly maxed settings. Screen is beautiful. Powering up takes about 4 seconds from completely off till you can enter your password, if even that long. Does seem to get warm quickly but has caused no performance issues that I could notice. The mouse that they send with this product is.... well its a laser mouse and upgrading to an optical mouse for gaming was a big step up for me, you might as well not open that at all. I have a friend with the same laptop, just a few years older and he has yet to run into a game that wouldnt run on this PC. Not that it affects much but the packaging was very nice.

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.

Good price

As a gaming laptop, this definitely gets the job done with flying colors. You wont have to worry about performance. Easy Ultra 1080p 60+ FPS in games like Doom, For Honor, RE2 REMAKE, and Rainbow Six Siege.

Definitely an excellent buy, especially for the price. Only issue is battery life (requires charging every 2-3 hours of even minor use. Would definitely buy again if I had the choice.

- Plays everything Iv thrown at it on max with no problems.

I purchased a 2019 version and received a 2018 version.

Unboxed the laptop, turned it it on, seemed to power up but all I got was a black display. Acer customer support was no help, told me to ship it to them and they would return it fixed in 10-14 business days. It is going back to Amazon today.

Overall, this laptop does exactly what I wanted it to do but I will warn of two issues I have had with it.

The laptop stopped working less than 2 weeks after the 2 year warranty expired. Definitely not worth the money. It would shut down randomly for the past year. If you plan on adding an extra HDD, get ready for it to be extremely hot when running anything from the drive.
