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

No issues, went to Best Buy and got a 500GB SSD, for 90 dollars, installed it with ease and made it the main game save file drive. Worth the price.

I disliked the cooling system, it cannot keep up with high graphic games such as Ark Survival Evolved and Riders of Icarus, I have a separate cooling system but it’s so far not working very well, I’m hoping to grab a high powered one soon. I recommend liquid cooling systems. As you can tell, I’m using the laptop for mostly gaming purposes. Everything else on the laptop is great! Haven’t tried out everything though.

Ive owned my Predator Helios 300 for 2 years. Ive had to have it repaired three times--twice for black screen problems (covered by warranty) and now, after the warranty expired. the motherboard needs repair. Ive spoken with three tech places and they all agree that the motherboards Acer uses are not the best quality. One positive is that the warranty lasts two years and I only had to pay for shipping for the first two repair jobs.

Id love to write an in depth review, and may later, but I will have to keep this short. For the money, I feel that this is likely the best off the shelf laptop you can buy. After doing a fair bit of research, I pulled the trigger on this purchase and could not be happier with it. This was a bit of a necessity buy as my other laptop essentially bit the dust. I didnt want to spend a lot of money, but had to have something that was powerful enough to do everything that I needed it to do. This laptop did not disappoint. 5/5 would recommend.

Best laptop computer for the price.

lo mejor precio calidad

I have owned this laptop for about 8 months. My only complaint is in regard to a problem nobody can fix. I cannot turn the graphics settings to max without overheating a bit. Let me be clear. No other laptop cools as well as this one. You will not get better. I will consider this line of laptops and its successors for as long as they keep this level of quality. Maybe one day we will stop concentrating on faster/more cores and threads and work on cooling solutions that matter. Again, if you want a gaming laptop under $2000, look no further. *Updated* There is a fan control next to the Start Button in Windows. There you can set the fans to Max. They are very loud but definitely cool this thing down even during heavy gaming. After a year, I am satisfied.

Update 2: The video card is dead again, going to see if I can get it repaired by Acer.
