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

when you have played around 3 hours, the PC is hot and need a good cooler, I played dota 2 with mid graphics levels and the PC overheats, when played CS GO with mid graphics level, when you have around 1-2hour currently freezing the screen, I need go down the graphics level for game well

The screen broke the first week I got it, when I put about 3 pounds of pressure on top of the closed laptop and shattered then bled until the whole screen was unuseable. I sent it in for repairs under the manufacturers warranty, and after going through all that, they literally sent it back to me without a word and said they wont repair it. Ive since connected it to a computer monitor but still had numerous issues with it, and clearly it was a defectively manufactured laptop that had loose components including the screen placement.

Pros:

After a couple months of using it, It had so many frame drops. The first month was great but then it started to overheat causing the frames to be bad

One of the best laptops for the price. The laptops does get hot as in 80°c and above when playing Call of duty black op 4. The heat is located at the upper left part of the laptop or in other words at the 1 till 5 numbers and q,w,a,s,d,e keys. I am using a external half keyboard, so I dont really get annoyed about the heat. Sound is good but I am using hyper cloud x. What I really wanted is a thunderbolt on this laptop but unfortunately this laptop doesnt include it. What this laptop doesnt include is a full HD 144hertz screen, which is one of the best screen I have ever used. I dont really recommend to use it on the go, it like a semi desktop where you are able to move it around but its inadvisable, due to the weight and the risk of damage. One of the best inclusion is the expandable drive which I use a expandable hybrid drive from seagate. The laptop does include some light and unwanted programs, for me personally I didnt disable them, but I have removed the icons and they might be useful later. For me when I got the laptop at 1099$, it was a great purchase and it still is. So if you want a 4 year gaming laptop, this might be it.

This computer is great for gaming but does not have much storage for games and apps, I would recommend a internal hardrive 1 TB.

I dont play a lot of games, Im using the laptop for video editing. It gets very hot but I didnt have some issues. After 3 years its still working fine and Im satisfied. Only one thing I cant use for long time, the software with control of fans, Ive tried to reinstall but still doesnt work.

Absolute great price to power ratio on this computer if you are willing to work with it a bit. There are a few things that need to be done in order for this computer to run as its intended to.

I wish it had a touch screen

I will keep this short:
