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

Anytime I’d play just about any game for 5-10 minutes the cpu would gets up to around 99 degrees Celsius and I’m no scientist but I don’t think that should be happening.

So far it’s good

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.

All is good, just dont believe what predator sense says, about cpu, gpu utilization and temperatures. Also its a fingerprint monster, you probably wont see more than 4 hours away from a wall which Im fine with. Otherwise its a perfect gaming laptop

The thing about this laptop is it really is great but there is always a new issue with sound or audio. I have had multiple times when other people can not hear me through anything on this laptop.

Everything is fine, just has a little scratch on the screen but it did not have influence when I was playing. I thought that’s the problem of posting

This review encompasses build-quality, customer support, and product performance.

Terribly out of date out of the box. Acer customer service not helpful at all.

This thing is an absolute powerhouse for gaming. Only downside I have is I cant make my colors more vivid because its only a laptop instead of a pc. But I just hook it up to my 4k TV and do it that way and problem solved. Can run Borderlands 3 on the best settings and still clock an average of 65-80 FPS, battery life is epic and it even works wonders for making sure I can still do my college essays and homework with ease as well. Get a HDD slap it in and start doing what you love! Gaming and anything else your heart desires! Quite possibly the only thing I could say is wrong with it is it doesnt like to consistently hook up to my controller through BT. Not really game breaking just an extra step I like to avoid. Camera works/looks pretty good. Streaming isnt an issue for me and it can handle a pretty good fall, courtesy of a cat. What are you waiting for? A yellow beam of light to signal its a legendary drop? Get out of these reviews and go place your order so you can start crushing it ASAP! This is the dried youre looking for, now snag it up and reap the rewards! Game on!
