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

Im sure that I just happened to get a dud, but I barely have used it since I got it because the screen flickers whenever I run anything on it. I can only game for 20 minutes at a time.

No issues, went to Best Buy and got a 500GB SSD, for 90 dollars, installed it with ease and made it the main game save file drive. Worth the price.

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

Hello Everyone,

I bought three of these for the family. Fast and responsive, i added a 2 tb ss hard drive to them and they have done what i have asked them to do. Great laptop for the price

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.

Overheats like mad and died in under a year. You can find way better. It’s a known and very common issue that they don’t give a damn about.

The laptop arrived on time and was well packaged. The first day I was able to use it the 300 exceeded my expectations. Its a lightweight laptop with a terrific screen. The exterior looks real enticing and gives it that gamer look. The SSD it came with was only 256 GB so I installed my Steam games on an exterior SSD. When I closed it and later reopened the laptop the screen did not come back on. I let it sit for about 10 minutes and tried again and the screen came back. In the short time I had it I was able to play some games on it such as Dead By Daylight, Car Mechanic Sim 2018 and Rocket League. The laptop played them all with ease for the most part at 60 fps in 1080p, but had some stuttering once in a while. I had this laptop for about a week and was unable to try out another games as the screen blacked out after the logo loading screen popped up when booting up. I was really disappointed, but thankfully Amazon offered me a full refund and I am going to purchase a different laptop. This was the first and possibly last Acer product I will ever buy.

I have been building my own PCs for gaming for a while now. This was my first try with a gaming laptop. Within 5 minutes of playing any game the surface of the laptop above the function keys would get so hot it would burn to touch it. CPU temps were in the high 90s. Constant stuttering, screen tearing, input lag and inconsistent FPS. Big problems trying to record game play with OBS which should be a simple thing to do since the GTX 10 series graphics cards are supposed to be able to record without impacting performance. I was expecting a lot more from this based on the specifications. Returned.
