Acer Predator Helios 300 Gaming Laptop PC, 15.6 Full HD 144Hz 3ms IPS Display, Intel i7-9750H, GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6GB, 16GB DDR4, 256GB NVMe SSD, Backlit Keyboard, PH315-52-78VL

Dont buy this, had to send it once for display issues and motherboard shot 6 months out of warranty. Ill never buy anything from this company again. Not impressed.

Dislike battery life. However, does well plugged up.

Bought this on black Friday for 999.99. I also purchased a 1tb sata SSD. Couldnt be happier. I mostly play assassins Creed origins and Witcher 3. This game can run both at Max settings over 60fps. It does run a little hot unless you activate turbo mode, which makes the PC kind of loud, but I have a good pair of wireless headphones.

half hour with gaming , 2 hour with video (-1)

Laptop is great in terms of performance but there is either something seriously messed up with the drivers/bios/or the battery. Sitting at the desktop with a clean install of windows and 40% screen brightness, I get roughly an hour and a half of battery life..... That is also with it on the Power Saver profile of windows. I have also tried very big undervolts using throttlestop but that does nothing to help battery (Does help thermals, so I am assuming it is drawing less power hinting towards maybe a big bios or software problem...? )

I have been using this laptop for more than 3 months. And I mainly use it for work (Visual Studio all day) and some gaming in high settings, so far there were no issues with it. I am very happy about the product. The only issue I found was when trying to connect a second monitor via the USB-C it did not work. It seems like only some USB-C to HDMI adapters will work with this but Im not entirely sure. For now, I am using the HDMI port and the mini display port for my dual monitor setup. For the price, I paid this was a great deal.

Two Major Flaws, This Laptop was getting so hot it smelt like plastic was burning, I could barely touch the keyboard in some areas, Im Afraid to play anymore games on it, The screen has a LOT of light bleed, more than ive seen on other IPS Panels. Will be returning this, My first and last Acer i will buy.

Black screen of death within approximately one month of use. Problems with international warranty. 6 months in, computer still doesnt work, and Acer refused to issue refund.

In my opinion, this computer has major BIOS issues. If I plug in more than one USB device (USB-C + Type A or two Type A), then my externally attached USB mouse stops working and the second device may or may not work depending on the type of device plugged in. It does not matter if I am using a high end Logitech mouse or a cheap wired MS USB mouse, the USB port is just functionally not working. Yes, this could be driver issues but, Intel and NVIDIA drivers are up to date and say they are functioning. So, this leads me to believe it is a BIOS issue.

I originally got this laptop in 2019 for my wife to use while playing games and for digital art. The color-correctness had what I wanted, and the video card seemed to meet the minimum needs for VR.
