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

The computer had an issue with the monitor not staying on, almost like an issue with the switch for the back lighting it would flicker on and off.

Overall was a decent laptop but the heating issue is very worrisome. Had to stop using it. Not worth the money imo.

I planned to use this laptop for gaming, but the cooling in the laptop is not effective enough to cool all of the parts. I get frequent frame drops even in games like rocket league and counter strike go on modest settings. The specs at this price are too good to be true. Also, after a month of moderate use, one of the hinges used to open and close the laptop has come out of its framing, which wasn’t due to any dropping. I should’ve returned it when I could’ve.

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

I purchased this laptop a little over a year ago to run creative cloud but also to play a couple of games on the side. As soon as it came out of the box i started having issues with the keyboard. word processing is incredibly slow when you initially boot up the system but gets faster after maybe 10 seconds of typing. not the biggest problem in the world so I overlooked it, but not something you would expect from a $1000 laptop. I really became frustrated though when my z and windows keys stopped working (i literally had to search the English alphabet just to get the letter z for this review.) this happened for the first time a couple of months ago. i sent it in to predator and i had my laptop back within a couple of weeks, but today i noticed that the EXACT same keys stopped working again. I cant keep sending in my laptop every couple of months because of a messed up keyboard.

Ive now owned this laptop since Feb19 and rolling into May now. I will agree with others comments that this laptop can handle pretty much any game currently on the market, PUBG APEX The Division Etc. It will NOT handle this well out of the box though. You absolutely need to under volt the CPU otherwise it gets too hot. The GPU/CPU is located right under the W and 3 keys which playing any of the games noted above will be serious issues where it is uncomfortable to hold move forward down for extended periods due to being hot to the touch. Gaming will push to 95 degrees.

my daughters computer and she likes it .... does all she needs plus more for college

I wish it had a touch screen

My laptop is the best bought in my life, it is faster, it have very good performance.
