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

I love this laptop. Im thrilled with the speed, graphics, gaming and overall features. I have added an additional hard disk to supplement the SSD. The only downside at all is the battery life. I dim the screen all the way and get maybe 1.5 hours from the battery while not gaming or streaming. Its worth it for the overall speed and use as long as you know what to expect.

Everything is good minus one major issue. After 10 minutes of gameplay there is major heat throttling making it useless for gaming. The specs are great but you cant use them due to the horrible thermal issues this laptop has. I even tried some stuff I read from forums and nothing worked. I even bought a cooler for it and it did nothing. I will be returning this laptop and trying my luck with a different brand.

I have been building my own PCs for gaming for a while now. This was my first try with a gaming laptop. Within 5 minutes of playing any game the surface of the laptop above the function keys would get so hot it would burn to touch it. CPU temps were in the high 90s. Constant stuttering, screen tearing, input lag and inconsistent FPS. Big problems trying to record game play with OBS which should be a simple thing to do since the GTX 10 series graphics cards are supposed to be able to record without impacting performance. I was expecting a lot more from this based on the specifications. Returned.

Contrary to the product description this particular version of the Acer Predator Helios 300 Gaming Laptop does not support the 802.11ac Gigabit Wifi standard. This particular model, unlike previous models does not use the Atheros Wifi chipset. This model uses an Intel chipset which is not compatible with the 802.11ac standard.

Hi. there was no plug core whit my laptop is it right like that let me know pls thanks

Excellent!!

Overall it is a fantastic computer, I am using it for Cyber Security. It does everything I need with the standard specs besides the 2TB SSD I am going to install. The main fuss I have regarding the Predator Helios 300 is the fans are on the bottom of the computer, and the material the device is made of leaves thermal marks of some sort when you rest your hand on it etc.

Which means hiccups doing your gameplay

if you want to buy this laptop you need a cooling pad or it will gonna lag I dont advise to buy it without a cooling bad but the laptop is very good.

This laptop is replacing a budget laptop from 2011, so it cant help but blow it away. Even so ...
