Posted June 23, 2017 What are you guys thoughts on the new Acer Predator Helios 300 Gaming Laptop with a gtx 1060 for about 1000$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted June 23, 2017 Despite the fact that it is rather large and heavy, finding a laptop with an 8GB 1060 and running a HQ processor is really expensive. For the price, I'd have to look at the performance per dollar just to see if I'd consider it, but I like what I'm seeing so far.

Where are you getting your information about bad thermals from? I do think this is a good laptop for the price anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
