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 purchased this laptop to be my gaming device while Im travelling. So far I have tested Battle Field 1 and Guild Wars 2 and was able to play at Ultra/Highest settings on both games at 60+ FPS (BF1 - Averaged 75 FPS, GW2 - Averaged 70 FPS). All of this was done without using the available overclocking that is configurable with Acers PredatorSense software. I purchased a 1 TB Samsung 860 EVO SSD to install in the 2.5 bay. After installation I found that the SATA+Power connector had a broken PCB (circuit board). I contacted Acers support and within 30 minutes they had put in an order to ship me out a new SATA+Power cable. I would like to note for those less technically inclined, they did offer for me to return the laptop and receive a completely new one. Since I know my way around a motherboard I chose to just replace the cable myself. So far Im very pleased with this laptop, for those who complained about the keyboard getting hot, this is a common issue on all gaming laptops. It can simply be fixed by setting the fan speed to max when playing video games. I just finished a 2 hour session of Battle Field 1 multiplayer and my keyboard is just slightly above room temperature. I have listed what I liked about the machine and what I didnt below as well as a summary of my review.

Its okay

I would have liked having a gaming laptop that could actually run league with out thermal throttling so as to make it unplayable. Everyone else seems to loves this laptop but I will never buy from acer again.

Battery dead in one hour

Thanks. Nice item and fast shipping

Excelente solo el ruido por el ventilador que hace al jugar es algo molesto pero es de esperar en cualquier laptop

This really is an okay laptop. The price was great but the price really shows. The USB ports are disappointing, there is only one USB 3.0 port. If you are expecting to be able to play demanding video games in long sessions, this is not the laptop for you. The AC Adapter is woefully under powered and the laptop often exceeds the power that is able to be delivered to it making long gaming sessions impossible. Its boggles the mind why they make gaming laptops with underpowered adapters ones that are this thin. They are gaming laptops, not mainstream laptops. If they are truly meant to be portable desktop replacements. They need to be able to properly cool themselves, have adequate power supply, have a good USB ports, and have a microphone and headphone jack. For a supposed gaming laptop. It doesnt seem to target gamer very well. Until it can be figured out, gaming laptops have no business being ultra thin, or this thin. Cooling solutions simply can not handle it. The rating I gave this is at my view generous as it is. So to conclude a plea to Acer. Either make thicker laptops so they are able to properly cool themselves and so they can take advantage of their full power. Or not be considered by serious customers.

Purchased as it was amazons choice and a great price for a gaming PC. Was good for a while with minimal use and all of a sudden the screen damaged out of nowhere while watching Netflix. I do enjoy the pc but the quality of the screen doesn’t seem to last long.

good prodoct

test very well，but when you play game,it will be very loud
