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

So, I bought this last month and will list a few issues Ive had with it, so that anyone in my position knows what they are getting into:

The best laptop you can buy for this price!!!

The laptop arrived on time and was well packaged. The first day I was able to use it the 300 exceeded my expectations. Its a lightweight laptop with a terrific screen. The exterior looks real enticing and gives it that gamer look. The SSD it came with was only 256 GB so I installed my Steam games on an exterior SSD. When I closed it and later reopened the laptop the screen did not come back on. I let it sit for about 10 minutes and tried again and the screen came back. In the short time I had it I was able to play some games on it such as Dead By Daylight, Car Mechanic Sim 2018 and Rocket League. The laptop played them all with ease for the most part at 60 fps in 1080p, but had some stuttering once in a while. I had this laptop for about a week and was unable to try out another games as the screen blacked out after the logo loading screen popped up when booting up. I was really disappointed, but thankfully Amazon offered me a full refund and I am going to purchase a different laptop. This was the first and possibly last Acer product I will ever buy.

Muy buena laptop. Los juego corren bien en baja y muy buena calidad. Cuando se desee jugar conectada se va a calentar demasiado. Asi que elevela de la parte de atras para que el aire ingrese mucho mejor. Totalmente recomendable comprarle un cooler y una memoria para ampliar.

Hello Everyone,

Pros:

This really is an okay laptop. The price was great but the price really shows. The USB ports are disappointing, there is only one USB 3.0 port. If you are expecting to be able to play demanding video games in long sessions, this is not the laptop for you. The AC Adapter is woefully under powered and the laptop often exceeds the power that is able to be delivered to it making long gaming sessions impossible. Its boggles the mind why they make gaming laptops with underpowered adapters ones that are this thin. They are gaming laptops, not mainstream laptops. If they are truly meant to be portable desktop replacements. They need to be able to properly cool themselves, have adequate power supply, have a good USB ports, and have a microphone and headphone jack. For a supposed gaming laptop. It doesnt seem to target gamer very well. Until it can be figured out, gaming laptops have no business being ultra thin, or this thin. Cooling solutions simply can not handle it. The rating I gave this is at my view generous as it is. So to conclude a plea to Acer. Either make thicker laptops so they are able to properly cool themselves and so they can take advantage of their full power. Or not be considered by serious customers.

Overheats like crazy
