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 good laptop I did upgrade the memory cause I got it for free from a buy that upgraded his 2500 dollar Alienware

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

Let me start by saying you will not see a Gaming Laptop at this price anywhere. (829.00). This thing is very slim but a tank. It is built very well and feels sturdy. It is not touchscreen but it is 144hz.

The bar below the screen does get warm.

This computer has been a pleasure to own. Boots up in 5 seconds, wicked processing. The one weak spot is the video card, but I knew that when I bought it. The 1060 is a lot cheaper than the 1080. It will play most things but if you want to handle new games at top graphics the 1060 wont cut it.

I was very skeptical on getting this machine at first as I havent had any Acer gaming laptop before and saw many people complaining on Acer gaming machine but I couldnt find any other laptop that offer more bang for your buck than this so I gave it a try and... yes I have zero regret for choosing this over the rest. Actually Im very much happy with this purchase BUT I wouldnt recommend this laptop for people who doesnt like to tinker with their brand new laptop or have no idea how to improve the cooling efficiency because this laptop gets HOT at stock when playing game at very high graphics settings.

Ive owned this pc for a few months, I can finally provide a decent review.

Its a great gaming laptop! In addition, if youre a digital artist looking for a good screen on a laptop, the screen displays really nicely and colors look amazing on it. Im not too tech savvy, so I cant speak for how honest the specs are for gaming, but theyre pretty great! In all honesty, it does have a hard time running some games and does have some FPS drops, but I think its to be expected with a laptop and not using a tower. It does heat up but its never gotten terribly hot where I was concerned itd get damaged.

After a couple months of using it, It had so many frame drops. The first month was great but then it started to overheat causing the frames to be bad

Great for graphic design
