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 amount of gaming performance you get for this price i am blown away always wanted to get a gaming pc and this was it. Only thing that bugged me was after a few houers of gaming the machine would get warm and the keys would start to get hot and not be nice to touch on a hot day but besides that loving it.

Not really worth the money there are many products out their that could work better its just a looking good not a great performance, lags wayyy too much

Overall, great laptop. Start with the bad then Ill go to the good, cause there is very little bad so lets get it out of the way. The screen is flimsy, it has a flimsy plastic case, and with a HUGE 1 inch bezel all the way around they could have sprung for stiffer plastic, so be careful, do not set anything on top of it, any pressure could be disastrous. As many reviews will tell you, this thing gets HOT when overclocking even with fans set to max, I will be investing in a very nice cooling pad for it and update once I see how that helps. Lastly the touch pad, the thing is very poorly made. Its not the least responsive, but the buttons underneath it for clicking are trash, they dont work all the time, and they creak and groan every time you touch the touchpad on the ride side, hoping it doesnt break and is simply annoying. Now for the good. This thing looks downright sick, on top of aesthetics the screen quality is great. Its a great size for 1080p, and with 144hz refresh rate it can run games like Overwatch and the Borderlands series on medium settings with 144 frame rate which is way more important to me than graphics quality, (when overclocked and fans all the way up) with minimal issues. I also run galactic civilizaton 3 on high settings, with large galaxies and fast pacing which is strenuous on a computer as well and this thing handles it phenomenally. The keyboard actually is very nice to type on, feels comfortable when writing essays. The spare storage bay was easy to use, I put a firefox 2tb sshd in it and it works great. Overall it is a great laptop and I have recommended it to several friends and two bought it and love it as well. I do wish that the touch pad was better and the screen was sturdier, but youll probably not find a better laptop for the price or even a couple hundred dollars more.

Not much hard drive space but was able to add on.

Nice

Great product work as expected, needs to be plugged in all time very low battery life.

Good for game but not for other purposes it’s too heavy

I had this machine for about 2 1/2 years...bought new...mine is older ..but looks like the same keyboard. .Its a gaming laptop but I dont USE FOR GAMING....However, the top black color of the AS keys is already wearing away...its the 4 reddish BORDERED keys - the black coloring wears off completely ..a defect. .and then you have the red plastic below showing with no letter. So you cant sell it like that- looks like *****. The other keys dont do this. just those 4. I dont do a lot of typing..

Amazing budget gaming laptop, it does run quite hot while gaming though. But that can be fix by undervolting the CPU, turn fans on max, I recommend watching Hotel Hero on YouTube, he made several videos on setting up and optimize this laptop.

For what it costed me, its amazing for what it does. I can now play the games I wanna play on high settings, all with great performance that I crave. Only real downside Ive found is it gets REALLY hot, like really hot. I got a temp measuring app and while Im playing games like Total War Warhammer 2, High settings with Ultra Unit cap, and the temperature gets into the high 90s Celsius. So to keep the laptop cool most of the time, you have to prop it up so it vents out hot air while setting the fans to full blast constantly. So if you have a great cooling system to help bring that temperature down to a manageable state for longevity, then I recommend this if you cant afford better laptops.
