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

It’s huge af . U need a 16” case

I built a top end gaming desktop in 2015 and the specs on this laptop are better than it which is saying something for a laptop. Its got me even thinking about upgrades to my desktop like a newer video card and monitor. I really like the 144 MHz screen. I did upgrade the NVMe SSD card though to a terabyte because the 256 GB is way too small and I reloaded Windows Home 64 on it. I also added an old 500 GB 2.5 SSD I had in the open bay. As others have said it does get a little warm during game play but Acer does offer a program to control the fan speed. Probably the only thing I do not like about it is that Acer has locked the bios firmware. By that I mean they have limited the setting within it that can be viewed and changed. Ive read that someone has hacked the firmware to gain access to the hidden settings but I am not comfortable with using hacked bios firmware. Acer needs to offer an unlocked bios for power users. Especially on gaming PCs. I am used to building my own PCs and having unlocked bios firmware on the motherboards.

It has been almost 2 years since i purchased this computer. During the two years I have only upgraded the storage and everything has been running great. No matter what game you are playing you will never have to turn the settings lower than medium. Amazing product, will recommend to anyone looking to buy a laptop.

Impresionante, poderosa y bella Laptop. Nada.mejor por los 24mil que pagué por ella. En efecto tardó un par de semanas en liberar la aduana, me pidieron algunos papeles, nada complicado. Pedida el 23 de noviembre y arribada el 7 de diciembre 2018. Imbatible a ese precio. La tarjeta 1060 es la de 6 GB! El teclado, la pantalla son sublimes. Vale oro cada kilo que pesa ! Muy recomendable.

Battery fast bun out

The best, its cheaper than the one they selling in my country.

Quality laptop for a fair price. However had many drawbacks and support on technical issue can be a bit of a pain.

Can’t use it. No power cord included.

Great laptop. I’ve finally been able to play many of my games (Civ IV, Total war, etc.) without issue and hopefully new games to come. The battery life is garbage when you play games maybe an hour or two at most. They’ve installed Norton on the laptop it’s going to annoy some people as it did me. The storage size is rather small but for the price I paid for this laptop it more than makes up for this. All in all the laptop is a good starter one especially if you only have a few games that you ever play.

Good performance
