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

I bought this Laptop on May 2019 and suddenly in November while I was playing, it shut off by its self and never get back to life, only after 6M it get broken.

I received this laptop just 3 days ago expecting to have an all around strong system that could withstand high settings (not ultra) when gaming. I quickly found out that the cooling system couldn’t not keep the CPU under 90 degrees Celsius with the fans on max settings, a 5-fan cooling pad, and a circulation fan on my desk. Additionally the computer crashed the first day I got it as well as constantly restarting due to “DCP WATCHDOG VIOLATION”- a driver issue. I was highly disappointed in the laptop’s performance and already returned it. Amazon was very helpful with that transaction. However, I don’t recommend this laptop as it seems very spotty in customer experience. I’m going to listen to what I’ve heard from the beginning and build a tower instead. I’m not one to place bad reviews but if I can save someone else from the trouble then it was worth it.

This computer can run games really smoothly and they look great, especially the resolution and 144 hrz monitor. but sadly, this pile of garbage is a glorified paper weight and runs EVEN MINECRAFT and GARRYS MOD super hot. once it gets up there in temperature which, even when the fans are set to max with coolboost on, the whole thing slows to a snails pace. this actually worthless (for gaming) computer is only good for the most casual of web browsing. it has a horrible cooling system, and the screen also bugs out every now and then. overall, this is not even worth 200 let alone the THOUSAND spent on it.

I love this laptop.

I really love this laptop.

test very well，but when you play game,it will be very loud

Bought for gaming and works amazingly

Look, if your in the market for a gaming laptop that has decent features at an affordable price, dont look any further. This thing is simply awesome. I have not experienced the heat issues that others mentioned but hey, thats just me. This thing works, I got my moneys worth, and that is what matters to me....bam! Thats all.

This is the second Acer gaming laptop Ive had, and both times theyve had strange problems with WiFi connections where theres a non-trivial chance that the network settings are going to just be completely unavailable (as in, I cant even view what networks are available to connect to, the network & internet settings program wont even load, I have no internet connection, and network diagnostics cant help at all). The problem happens regardless of what connection Im using, regardless of the computers temperature. Internet forums seem to suggest that this might be a consistent problem that others with the same model have as well. The laptop works great for the first 6-8 months, and then these network problems pop up randomly. Sometimes Ive been able to resolve it by restarting the computer a few times, sometimes it seems I have to let the computer sit for several hours. It just happened again, and neither of those are fixing it so I guess Im going to have to resort to a full system restore. Its such a shame, because the laptop is such a great value otherwise - but perhaps issues like this are exactly why.

Loved the 144 hz display, its smooth as silk.
