Acer Predator Helios 300 PH315-52-78VL 15.6 Inches LCD/LED Laptop (Black) - Intel i7-9750H 2.60 GHz, 16 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660Ti, Windows 10

This laptop performs great, i7 and 1660Ti can handle all latest titles on 1080p MAX settings. The system heats up a bit but that is common in most gaming laptops. 256 SSD is small but additional 1TB SSD would only cost 380AED on average. Got it from Amazon UAE in a very good deal, I am happy with it!

Excellent Gaming laptop!!! Just the battery that gets depleted quickly but an overall masterpiece. Recommended!!!

Awesome Just awesome

Excellent performance and cooling! Only problem was the first day it bsod before updating nvidia drivers and the fan noise is high but its expected with such cooling and i7 processor and 1660ti in laptop.. but now its all good! Can run AAA games smoothly

Perfect

Excelente producto. Teclado en inglés. La caja de Acer me llegó como un poco maltratada pero al parecer es la original. Ha funcionado sin problemas ya por meses es un excelente equipo para jugar y enciende más rápido que una mac book del mismo precio.

This laptop has amazing performance for its cost, played games at ultra settings for hours and the laptop barely felt a tad bit warm. The only cons of this laptop I had so far, 1) On turbo mode, the fan noise is significantly loud. 2) On battery life, it lasted a mere 2 hours while doing normal tasks.

Granted I've only had this laptop in my possession for a couple of days, but so far I like it a lot. Gaming on a 15.6" screen will take some getting used to. (My previous gaming laptops were ASUS ROG models with 17 inch screens, and my desktop has a 27" monitor.) but the picture quality is the best I've seen. The Predator has some great components with the 9th gen i7 processor, the Nvidia 1660 Ti GPU, 16 GB of RAM and an NVMe SSD. The SSD is 256 GB so I added a Seagate Firecuda 2TB hybrid drive for an additional expense of $80. In addition, the Killer networking hardware/software seems to work very well. That's the good. The bad is that it comes with Windows 10 (but what's a practical alternative?), and Microsoft is very aggressive in pushing its services. It can be difficult if not impossible to remove them. I make my own choices for browser, search engine, email clients, etc, but when I removed Edge I got notifications every time I started up on my startup screen pushing Edge and not once but twice. ( I think and hope I finally removed it. I'm not a fan of advertising, and I don't trust Microsoft.) And I'm not willing to trust "the cloud", so Dropbox and cloud storage were refused. I've downloaded several games onto the hybrid drive but only played Destiny 2 for about an hour and a half and a little of Age of Wonders III. As I said the graphical quality is the best I've seen, but Destiny 2 did freeze after I'd been playing for an hour or so which I assume was due to the GPU overheating (and I do use a notebook cooler), but I'm also assuming there are things I can do to prevent this in the future. For one thing, the game was optimized by the Nvidia GeForce Experience software and I'll have to look at their selections. I should also adjust the fan speeds, but I haven't looked into this yet either. So, if I should have to amend this review (and recommendation) in the future I will do so, but so far I'm very impressed with what Acer has provided and at what cost. I gave battery life and camera quality three stars because the laptop will always be plugged in, and I'll rarely if ever use the camera (though from what I've seen in YouTube reviews the image quality is certainly IMO acceptable for ordinary uses). Update: On the day after I wrote this review, I played some Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Dragon Age: Inquisition, WOW, Alpha Centauri and more Destiny 2. GeForce Experience optimized the games at ultra quality. I tinkered with the fan settings setting them slightly higher than standard (about 4000-4200 rpms and will fine adjust this more). The games looked great and played well without any problem. The fans did make some noise, but it's a whoosh and not a whine, and for me not terribly intrusive. As I said, I'll adjust the fan speed some more and may be able to reduce it even further. The speakers by the way are great with excellent sound quality and volume for a laptop. The fan noise never interfered with the sound at my settings. Again, well done, Acer. Two months later, and I'm still very impressed with this computer. I installed the new Crytek Neon Noir Ray Tracing Benchmark for ray-tracing effects without an RTX gpu, ran it fullscreen at 1920x1080 and ultra and got a score of 5529 with very fluid playback and frame rates that varied from about 45 to the upper 70s. The benchmark would seem to be quite the workout for a system and the Acer got a commendable result IMO.

First gaming laptop for me. And I can’t say I am disappointed. It’s a nice machine, fast and pretty fast. Installed a couple more hard drives in there so now I got over 2 tb of space. I do think the fans are quite loud while gaming but like I said my first gaming laptop so I can’t compare
