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

Bad quality of cooling fans and works loudly :(

If youre looking for a great budget gaming laptop this is it. Not a bad workstation either if you dont mind the aesthetics.

I DID QUITE A BIT OF RESEARCH ON THIS LAPTOP BEFORE BUYING IT AND I AM SUPER IMPRESSED BY IT, HAS PLAYING NO MANS SKY AT HIGHEST RES SETTINGS AND IT WAS FLAWLESS, BOOT UP TIME IS ALMOST NOTHING, THE LAPTOP DOES GET A LITTLE HOT WHILE PLAYING FOR A WHILE BUT I JUST USE THE PREDATOR SENSE APP TO MAX OUT THE FAN SPEED AND ENABLE COOL BOOST. BEST PURCHASE EVER!

Works good at times but screen just started flickering.. its been about a month since I received the laptop.. could be a little better for gaming

I just got this laptop today after getting it for Cyber Monday. I will post a follow up after Ive had the chance to use it a couple weeks. For others like me that got it on Friday or Monday, the very first thing I did out of the box was to uninstall all of the bloatware, especially Symantec. That made the laptop feel significantly snappier. Text scaling comes set at 125% by default, which I absolutely hate. I set that to 100% and it makes the screen look SO much bigger. Updated the Nvidia driver and began to install Steam and games. Ill give it a try and see how it goes from there.

I’m overall happy with this laptop to the extent that it runs graphic heavy games that I play and it was a very reasonable price with I think $200 off..that being said the one fault I have is that when the fans need to kick into max settings I’m shaken to my core because it sounds like it’s trying to take off. However with the blue tooth option I’m able to listen to music over the sound of this aircraft carrier

The hardware was faulty to a point of making anygame unplayable, on top of massive overheating issues. Anygame on low hitches constantly which makes any form of gaming impossible to enjoy.

Pros:

Pros: Good screen, good specs on paper.

Se calienta mucho y el ventilador no ayuda mucho
