Best gaming laptop. nice processor Intel Core I7-9750H.

Cooling is terrible. Don’t let the aeroblade bs fool you. Don’t buy this unless you want an expensive way to cook an omelet. Build a pc

For what it is, this laptop is a pretty good and relatively cheap gaming laptop. However, I have had my laptop repaired once and die twice in the span of 3 months.

i guess its time to do the review: am loving this laptop everything about it is great the screen i got two bleeding spots but its not noticeable the build quality is fantastic its gaming like a beast

I am writing this amendment to my review on my older laptop, which the Predator was supposed to replace. Why is this? Well, lets follow the timeline.

I purchased this laptop around April 2020. Within less than a year, the GPU fan started to act up. It would stop spinning and my laptop will start to overheat like crazy. I went to several stores to see whats the issue with the GPU fan, and they told me that I wouldve to replace the fan. Its crazy how a fan is broken in less than a year. I would highly recommend avoiding getting predator helios 300 laptop to avoid future malfunction.

I got this computer one year ago for christmas, its been amazing except for two giant flaws. The battery life is terrible, it wont last an hour just using google chrome, no games in the backround no nothing. The other major flaw is that it overheats a lot just playing fortnite cod or even sometimes just minecraft the cpu will get to 100 degrees celsius its crazy the computer will get so hot it will hurt to the touch. This is not very important but the speakers are pretty quiet. On the other hand the picture is great, games run really smoothly the graphics card is great it works really well. Except for the battery and the computer battery.

Not sure exactly what mustve happened, but I guess I was one of the unlucky few who was given a botched version of this laptop. Right out of the box, it was completely unable to operate the webcam, no matter what I did to try and fix it. The trackpad would occasionally lose control and start acting very sluggish, sometimes for a minute or more, before snapping back to a normal speed. Various other glitches would arise, some of them lingering, some of them starting and stopping. Whats going on?

Its very fast and not noisy as others said. Overall very good.

I bought it because I wanted a very fast laptop for work and everyday activities... that I could take on vacations and play games if I wanted. It handles Sea of Thieves on Mythical graphics no problem. Love the laptop, worth the money...
