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

This is an amazing product for gaming on the go. However the battery life isnt something to be eagerly proud of. But over all an amazing device

I will keep this short:

decent laptop for the price if it worked the way it should. Im not sure if its this model but getting a constant 15-25 fps on Farcry 3 on LOW settings is absurd. Constantly above 90 temp and constant thermal throttling due to that. Im in the military and chose this laptop because I thought it would be pretty decent to game with on the side while not working but boy was I wrong. Atleast 1-2 hours a week is spent looking up how to fix these issues with nothing working for me. I wish I went with a better brand if it meant the quality would be better,

El motivo principal de mi laptop es para la edición de video. Se desempeña muy bien inclusive con videos de resolución 4k. Es.una maravilla que le puedas instalar un segundo n disco duro. Los únicos peros que le pongo es que no cuenta con thunderbolt y que el disco duro que viene de fábrica (tipo m2) es de 256 GB.

Added the 2tb hard drive to the 2.5” slot as instructed on a YouTube video. Fired up the lab top. Noticed the comp not recognizing the new 2tb ssd. One thing I did notice is as I was hooking the clip into the ssd the flat cord part looked to be kinked. Not sure if that would affect it. Do I have to download any software for the ssd to be recognized or something. If anyone knows? Thanks

This laptop is pretty much everything youd want; fast, powerful, and excellent for gaming. The ONLY complaints I have are the low disk space, the occasional random lag spike due to the processors being too warm (overclocking doesnt help, has the opposite effect than youd think), and the fact that the fans are pretty loud on max fan control (and when idling on auto fan control they never seem to shut off). Other than that this laptop is awesome, Ive been stomping Titanfall 2 lobbies left and right with it.

Since November 2018, Ive had 6 laptops! I ended up having problems with all of them and had to return. Eventually I settled on this Acer Predator Helios 300 and so far so good. Im finally happy with my purchase.

What can I say about this laptop other than... WOW! I am so in love with this thing. It plays games like a champ on high/ultra settings. The screen is amazing, and crisp, with good viewing angles.

I got this laptop , because i found that what you payed for was a good bang for the buck. However, two days into owning the machine the intel ssd that came in the laptop started to throw windows errors. Which would cause the machine to detect no bootable device and crash. So, i sent it to get repaired via Acer repair center and it took almost a month to get the mahince back. Not happy with the poor quality parts and the really long wait time for acer to repair your products.

This laptop boots up super quick, runs smoothly, has an extra slot to extend the SSD, gorgeous display and a lit keyboard. Its a bit heavy around 5 lbs, but thats fine, since I dont move it around much. Just perfect for my needs!
