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

Runs great fast! Works as advertised, Gets a little hot but any gaming laptop will do that.

Ive had this for about a month and have had no issues. Performance-wise it runs great! Flawless operation with all the in-game graphic settings maxed.

This is a large, sturdy, beautifully designed and heavy gaming laptop with just about all the bells and whistles you could ever ask for. Its amazing how many settings you can control just from a few keyboard strokes. Using the FuNction keys can control volume, screen brightness, and turning on/off the beautiful red LED backlit keyboard (which looks really cool in the dark). The screen is huge and bright. The battery will run down very fast if you are in high performance mode, but you can easily bump it down into battery saving mode if you are just doing web browsing. Still, Id say that the up to 7 hour battery life is a best-case scenario and 2-3 hours is more realistic. It takes a full 2 hours to completely charge the battery. I wouldnt say it is loaded with bloatware as the only thing Ive deleted so far is a Norton antivirus trial once it expired. By clicking on the PredatorSense icon, you can control the fan speed, overclocking and monitoring with what appears to me the most user friendly interface Ive ever seen. Its amazing how loud the fans are on max - its cool to show off you your friends how kick-ass this laptop really is. You *should* be able to control the backlit keyboard here too but you cant; the only way Ive found to turn off is by keyboard strokes and thats one of the few negative things that I can think to say. The internet through wifi is fast. The Dolby audio is AMAZING. Even if you never play a single game, this laptop would be worth it just for the beautiful sound if nothing else... no need for external speakers here. All parts are premium. Even the power cord feels high end and better than cheap laptops. It puts out a moderate amount of heat but nothing surprising given the specs. Gaming is a joy and it can handle just about anything - not much else to say on that front. The only other negative thing I can possibly say - and this is a bit of a reach - would be that the touchpad is so massively large that it is sometimes hard to control during mouse clicking. It is a single giant pad with no buttons at the bottom (yet it is smart enough to know the difference between left and right clicking). Thats the problem; its so large that your finger has to travel a long distance back and forth to alternate between left and right clicks, such that it sometimes gets mixed up. Still, Im getting used to it and its a minor inconvenience.

I read a lot of reviews about this laptop before I bought it. The main two problems reflected on the reviews are overheating and battery life, which I was concerned about. After two weeks using it, I think these problems arent big deals to me. I am mainly a CS:GO and DotA2 player and this laptop performed pretty well. I could reach at least 140 fps in any maps in CS:GO and could reach up to 250 fps under lowest graphic settings. The overheating problem do exist sometimes if u dont turn on Coolboost or maximize fan usage. Temperature could easily raise to 90+C and would result fps drop. Usually I turned on Coolboost and highest CPU temperature would be around 80C, which is acceptable. (A cooling pad might be helpful according to my friends but I dont think it is necessary for CS:GO or DotA2) Battery life is to be honest short. Only lasts 3 hours just typing files on Word. But usually I used it for gaming and could find a place to charge. Ill have to praise the 144hz screen and 1060GPU which makes the game flow smoothly. It actually helps a lot in FPS games. Additionally, the price was very attractive.

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

Ive had my predator for a few months now and I absolutely love it. You might hear people saying it has heating problems but I use a fan pad and manually adjust the fan speed (easy to do with the desktop app for it) and, although it gets pretty warm, it doesnt get too hot. Id definitely recommend this to any and all of my friends

This is a great PC for the actual cost of it, I just had to replace the M.2 SSD drive for a bigger and faster one, the downsides of it would be that even having a GTX 1060 on it, you can only connect 1 external screen, and the other one would be that it reaches quite high temperatures when playing a game, therefore having spontaneous FPS drops.
