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

Overheats like mad and died in under a year. You can find way better. It’s a known and very common issue that they don’t give a damn about.

I love my predator

exelente laptop gamer

This thing is flat out awesome for the price. The biggest complaint I see is the overheating. I found an easy fix on YouTube that lowered my temps WHILE gaming by 20 degrees on my cpu AND gpu. You need Intel extreme tuning utility and you need to turn down the turbo boost on the cpu. Its only 2 options in the utility you need to change. I made mine 20watts and 25watts max. Look up a video to see which options need changing. No under voltage required.

This system has handled everything Ive thrown at it, and the graphics are crystal clear. It does get hot (its a laptop), and it is loud when you put it under pressure (still a laptop). I havent put it on a cooling pad yet, but I always game with earbuds in, so the fan noise hasnt bothered me. If Im not gaming then its very quiet. Its so quiet when booting up that I question if its dead after hitting the power button. Everything starts up quickly, within ten seconds of turning on I can be browsing, and I havent had a single issue with it slowing down

Very satisfied so far, obviously CS:GO runs at 250fps maxed out - Overwatch on Ultra gets up to 70fps never below 55 - I played the Gears of War 5 tech test on ultra, and high, smooth as butter. Everything is ultra fast from boot up to running programs.

Update: The laptop was purchased at 1,000, yet I only got 800 back. Why? A restocking fee. I would have taken a replacement but their support said that wasnt possible.

At the time of this review, I know a little bit of my computer science apart from basic specs knowledge. I really like this computer, and I do think its worth the price. Its reliable and amazing quality for what is basically a cheaper gaming laptop. Games like tf2, mvc3, DOOM and dbfz run fantastically, while more graphically instense games like gta 5 will still run amazing, albeit not on max settings. There is a small list of cons, but i dont think any of them are enough to be deal breaking or keep you from buying this computer

Smooth screen, can run pretty much anything at high settings, and great trackpad

For their gaming laptop, I have yet to have an issue with this computer. I waiting about a year to make this review because you never know what could happen during that time-frame.
