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

Overall I love this machine and it brought me a lot of fun during last 7months. A key popped off and it took me forever to put it back.

I wish I could recommend this laptop, especially considering the specs offered for the price. My experience has been consistent stuttering, consistent overheating, and general underperformance even when undervolted. Ive tried everything I can think of, and while Im not an expert if youre looking at the reviews and thinking oh, an undervolt should solve everything well, youre wrong. Or maybe I just got really unlucky, because it has done nothing to resolve the thermal throttling on my unit. I use a cooling pad, I tried undervolting, tweaking settings based on other users suggestions, nothing helped. Even games from 2010 and earlier have the same issue. I dont know what happened, and I wish I could get my money back/a replacement. Spend you money, take your chances, but Im telling you right now, it didnt pan out for me. I probably wont ever purchase another Acer product because of it, after having been a pretty big fan of the Aspire E-15 prior to this. IF YOU WANT THIS FOR GAMES, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

It has been almost 2 years since i purchased this computer. During the two years I have only upgraded the storage and everything has been running great. No matter what game you are playing you will never have to turn the settings lower than medium. Amazing product, will recommend to anyone looking to buy a laptop.

Very good value. Powerful and can handle demandind loads for music production with heavy plugin use. It has anice feature where you can control fan speed and regulate the temperature manually. I like everything about this laptop except the battery life. Its terrible. I get about an hour maybe an hour and a half of life off the charger on airplane mode with lowest screen brightness and only running my DAW.

Right speaker was not working. Amazon offered an exchange, but then changed it to a refund after I shipped it back. Not comfortable ordering another while I wait an unspecified time for the refund. I guess Ill just buy somewhere else.

Best Laptop for the price and performance

I got it for 900$ with prime offer

Overall, this laptop does exactly what I wanted it to do but I will warn of two issues I have had with it.

It’s done everything that I wanted it for
