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

Good looking laptop which works well, but easily overheats causing performance issues. Reapplication of thermal paste and a decent cooling pad are recommended.

I bought this product to mainly play Fortnite on and when I looked at the specs, it looked good to game on but there are random frame drops when I play. These drops happen randomly and I have looked at posts and people are linking it to the temperature of the computer. I wouldnt recommend buying this to play any game that requires even a little GPU. FYI my Fortnite settings are all on low and it still happens

Great laptop.

Running off battery was tops 2.5hrs that’s including limiting CPU to 5%, turning off usb and pcie and running off of the integrated gpu and cutting off the 1060. It cannot run sc2 at a full 120fps at ultra or even high. Gotta be on low. Not worth it.

Before buying this laptop I couldnt play solitare. My previous laptop was an hp stream with an apple sticker on the back for some reason. Its version of windows was very strange and called the hp a MacBook air I didnt know what it meant, and I was angry that I couldnt play Microsoft solitare. Once I installed an app called solitare on its app store I was disappointed it wasnt solitare for Microsoft windows. Youre probably saying Its just solitare Its not just solitare…. Its solitare for Microsoft windows. When I was tired of this hp stream, I let my dog use it as a chew toy, but then he got electrocuted. It was a good chew toy for about 4 minutes. I went online to search for a new laptop, thinking to myself I could really use some solitare for Microsoft windows right now. Then I found this laptop, it was marketed as a gaming laptop. So I knew it would have to have solitare for Microsoft windows. When it came I was hooked on the design and feel. Backlit keyboard and such. I searched solitare in the start menu and there it was! Solitare for Microsoft windows! I played it and fell in love with this laptop. My niece wanted to play fortnite on it once, but I told him, its suppose to play solitare for Microsoft windows! He scoffed and turned away. This laptop is awesome playing solitare for Microsoft windows. Would recommend for anyone in the market for a laptop that can play solitare for Microsoft windows.

Contrary to the product description this particular version of the Acer Predator Helios 300 Gaming Laptop does not support the 802.11ac Gigabit Wifi standard. This particular model, unlike previous models does not use the Atheros Wifi chipset. This model uses an Intel chipset which is not compatible with the 802.11ac standard.

perfecto

I was really hoping for a better thing to say about this laptop but here are the main concerns. Im writing this review after about 12 days with this gaming laptop :

It’s fast and the processing is smooth, could only make one thing better is the battery life and it would be a perfect laptop

Neat
