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

Works like a charm

The predator was a gift for my grandson. He loves it.

I was incredibly excited to buy this laptop, but noticed a massive issue after only a couple days of use... It overheats like crazy. Seriously, 75C+ just running singleplayer Minecraft! Even after purchasing a cooling pad and undervolting the system, the temperatures are as awful as ever. Some of the other games I purchased (like U-Boat) literally cannot be played for more than a few minutes before the primary CPU hits 90C. I’ve sent it in to Acer’s service corp today for them to take a look, and can only hope that this issue will be addressed.

El motivo principal de mi laptop es para la edición de video. Se desempeña muy bien inclusive con videos de resolución 4k. Es.una maravilla que le puedas instalar un segundo n disco duro. Los únicos peros que le pongo es que no cuenta con thunderbolt y que el disco duro que viene de fábrica (tipo m2) es de 256 GB.

I like everything about this laptop except the battery life and I wish the back lit keyboard was brighter

Great value and quality for $999. I have upgraded the storage and RAM, this thing is a powerhouse that can run the top games at medium-high settings. 144hz screen looks amazing. The laptop does get hot when playing certain games or running at full capacity, but I used XTU to turn down the throttles a bit. I also purchased some thermal compound to improve the heat reduction. Perfect for mobile gaming, first Acer purchase, will likely purchase again.

The monitor is fantastic. The 144hz refresh rate is amazing for gaming. The imaging is very smooth and noticeably better than 60hz on my tv.

I am super happy with this laptop. Needed something I could play games on as well as watch videos and check emails for work. I like the keyboard as the keys are crisp and responsive on feel but are also quite. I personally like the backlighting of the keyboard as well but it can be turned off. Its fast and responsive. I also added a Seagate firecuda 2TB hard drive for mass storage. Feels solid looks nice and isnt very heavy. For the money its a steal.

This breaks my heart. This is my 3rd acer laptop in a row. I was expecting outstanding performance without compromise for a good price, like I have previously experienced. This doesnt meet my high expectations that I used to have for acer gaming laptops around 1000-1100. It runs at 95 degrees Celsius (or higher) running heroes of the storm on ANY graphical setting. It doesnt matter if you play ultra or medium, the laptop is going to be very hot. I have a large cooling pad underneath that is elevated by a second unplugged cooling pad. It heats up to the point that it throttles itself and then my gaming experience suffers. This feels like a downgrade from the Acer aspire v17 nitro that just died after 4 years of dependable and outstanding service.

Yo, dope af
