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

The best part of this laptop is its Aeroblade cooling, it may sound loud but at the end of the day cooling is important for a gaming laptop and plus i found the overall construction quality much better than my earlier Asus laptop.

Screen: beautiful, bright, and obviously 144Hz.

Love the laptop. Had it for about 3 months now with no issues. Such an upgrade from my old used one - and at a bargain too. If youve never seen 144Hz, its eye candy. It makes 60Hz look jagged and laggy. Havent had much trouble running any of my games on max settings except for latest games. Fans run a little loud on max and gets a little hot, so just be aware when really pushing it on triple A games or trying to overclock. But its a small price for a great deal and specs. Other than that no groundbreaking flaws or performance issues. The only other thing I can think of is that the chassis gets fingerprints easily.

This laptop is powerful and amazing, you can’t get any better for the price range. I’ve been running around 100 frames with the gpu overclocked to turbo in Fortnite with epic settings. The only problem I have noticed is the overheating, but I fixed this problem by undervolting the cpu. I recommend this laptop for anyone.

very very fast laptop, arrival on time. no trouble so far

I purchased this laptop to be my gaming device while Im travelling. So far I have tested Battle Field 1 and Guild Wars 2 and was able to play at Ultra/Highest settings on both games at 60+ FPS (BF1 - Averaged 75 FPS, GW2 - Averaged 70 FPS). All of this was done without using the available overclocking that is configurable with Acers PredatorSense software. I purchased a 1 TB Samsung 860 EVO SSD to install in the 2.5 bay. After installation I found that the SATA+Power connector had a broken PCB (circuit board). I contacted Acers support and within 30 minutes they had put in an order to ship me out a new SATA+Power cable. I would like to note for those less technically inclined, they did offer for me to return the laptop and receive a completely new one. Since I know my way around a motherboard I chose to just replace the cable myself. So far Im very pleased with this laptop, for those who complained about the keyboard getting hot, this is a common issue on all gaming laptops. It can simply be fixed by setting the fan speed to max when playing video games. I just finished a 2 hour session of Battle Field 1 multiplayer and my keyboard is just slightly above room temperature. I have listed what I liked about the machine and what I didnt below as well as a summary of my review.

I will never buy another Acer product ever again!

Overall was a decent laptop but the heating issue is very worrisome. Had to stop using it. Not worth the money imo.

If you want a fantastic gaming laptop that looks cool, handles all games perfectly, easy to move and portable. This is it man. I bought mine in December of 2018. Worked fantastic for WoW, Apex, Rainbow 6 Siege all on max settings for long hours.

I got this laptop, the Predator Sense didnt work. I can not see what the GPU is doing.
