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

Got mine and started playing my very first game on it. Temp went up to 200 and the fans were blowing loud. I turned the fans up to max (Making a pretty good amount of white noise in my living room) and the temp sunk to 160~165 for a little while. I went back to playing hitman 2 and eventually the fans just couldnt keep up. the keys on the keyboard kept getting more and more uncomfortable. contacted their technical support and got well you can send to us and we will look to see if anything is wrong with it That inspired no confidence in me that they would fix anything or make any difference. Contacted Amazon support and they suggested use the integrated GPU instead of the dedicated GPU as a fix. I immediately decided that i was not going to get my moneys worth from this computer and started the complete refund task. Waste of time in my opinion.

I want to give a five star review but the thermals are horrible! I’m on the brink of returning it because of this problem and I had the Dell G5 and it never overheated like this mess. Just go with the Dell G5 but avoid the Dell G7. i7 8750 is a thermal mess avoid this processor! I undervolted and it still gets hot temperatures honestly for the cost I shouldn’t have problems like this.

I bought my Helios in October, it is great in everything, really. But before buying from outside US be cautious because its warranty isnt global, for example here in the country of Georgia (Europe) they do not support warranty. Also, from the very beginning this laptop has issue with CPU noise. For some its very strange to hear, but yes, CPU of my laptop have buzzing sound that changes simultaneously with my activity (i.e. while scrolling on web or etc.).

I really like this beast..

Ive been using this computer for about a month so far and Ive been pleased. The touchpad works fine and with the SSD the boot up time is great. I put a secondary hard drive in and the installation was easy. Ive read complaints about the fan noise but Ive noticed it occasionally when gaming but it hasnt been bad at all. I usually wear headphones anyway. My only complaint is the finish does show smudges easily and the lid can show little scratches also easily. The performance has been great so far. Ive done a little gaming and have not noticed any lag. Ive been happy with the purchase.

Very happy with my purchase

Admittedly, we are not currently using this laptop for gaming, so this will be on the other aspects of the laptop.

EXCELENTE presentación, recomendada

Computer seems fine but the battery won’t charge. After hours on the phone with Acer tech support they said I can send it to them for repair (it’s brand new!) or return it. Thankfully Amazon is taking it back.

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.
