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

I bought this laptop for gaming purposes and what I got was a Laptop with no wifi capabilities, open box/demo, and the wrong operating system.

For real? only 3 hours of life for the battery.

I like the feel of the keys and back lighting was nice and bright along with very nice screen IPS 144hz. Battery life sucked and was getting less than 2hrs depending on settings and less than 1hr when gaming, finally speakers went out after couple of days.

Great laptop especially for the price but it does not actually run at 144 Hz. It only projects to a 4K TV at 144 Hz. Pretty bad advertising there.

Chances are you know a bit about computers if youve made your way through all of the laptop options to this guy. If you are new to buying computers, I will break down some of the specs, what they mean, and what I feel their value is. If not, scroll to the end for my final thoughts.

The most important thing to say first of all while it can be overclocked I wouldnt suggest you try. Playing anything GPU or CPU heavy makes this thing run loud and hot, I would suspect you would be thermal throttling all over the place if anything. I would actually suggest to underclock.

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.

Buyer Beware! I opened this up and was greeted with seizure inducing screen flicker. I then looked online and there are posts everywhere about this unresolved issue. Thank goodness I cam return it for a refund. So disappointed.

Bought this for as a replacement for graphics intense CAD/CAM model rendering software. It handles the popular CAD software well! Renders patterned geometry from modeling quick. The touchpad guestures are a bit hard to master but I use an advanced mouse anyway. Fans cool this thing well and can be controlled on the fly (fully adjustable during use). Screen brightness can be a bit dark in sunlight or field conditions but resolution quality is great. THE BEST FEATURE IS SPEED! After initial setup, press power button and login screen pops up in under 3 secs...then, after login, ready to run with no lag after another 2 secs!!! Faster than my other built performance desktop machine of 5 years ago. Great machine for the price and even better price during annual discount sale times here!
