What customers say about "Processor"

MSI GP63 Leopard 8RE-065UK Gaming Laptop

I use this laptop daily, it's quick, has handled everything I've thrown at it so far from gaming, rendering and even running virtual machines.
The screen is crystal clear and battery life is great. Also processor is amazing.
Very powerful machine/excellent specs.
Modern i7 processor, capable RAM capacity and dedicated graphics means that this can handle most current gen games on high graphic settings without suffering on frame rate.
The i7-8750h is running frequency is quite low at 2.2Ghz, this means some games may crash when playing (during heavy gaming).

Acer Predator Helios 300 (PH315-51-78NP) Gaming Laptop

This laptop has, at the time of this writing, the latest Intel Core i7 processor.
Fast processors, great graphics, can play most games.
Remaining qualities such as processor, graphics card is very good for high end gaming for a long time to come.
However, no faster than very old laptops running single-core i7 processors.
The processors temperature up to the high 80s and at times the 90s.

What customers say about "Memory"

MSI GP63 Leopard 8RE-065UK Gaming Laptop

The sd card reader works without a flaw oh and there’s no dead pixels that I can see all in all for me this is a fantastic device video plays fine through it.
Great performance. I like 16GB of RAM. It's enough for all games.
16GB is enough for great performance in games.
It's HDD+SDD. Nothing to complain about. Bootup time is sub 10 sec.
Thanks to SSD, all my games run 2 times faster.

Acer Predator Helios 300 (PH315-51-78NP) Gaming Laptop

The Helios 300 also comes with 16 GB DDR4 memory. I like it.
16GB of flash storage, is very high quality.
The underside of the laptop has access for memory and the SSD. Good memory.
Memory is something you'll want to upgrade.
The laptop came with only 237 GB of memory space on the hard drive. That is a very low amount for a laptop.

MSI GP63 Leopard 8RE-065UK Gaming Laptop

It’s very quiet even with its fans running full tilt.
The screen is good at all sensible angles and the colours seem very good too.
This laptop looks & feels expensive. I especially love the brushed chrome casing.
Beautiful build quality - solid plastics all round.
The GTX 1060 6GB RAM is able to handle just about anything you throw at it, coupled with the i7 8750H cpu & 16BG DDR4 RAM.

Acer Predator Helios 300 (PH315-51-78NP) Gaming Laptop

I love the feature of just opening up a few screws and I can insert another drive in minutes.
Incredible display that will keep up with any high end laptop.
Really nice backlit keyboard that works well for gaming.
Touchpad was okay when the drivers worked.
Built-in mic was unusable out of the box - nobody could hear me.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

MSI GP63 Leopard 8RE-065UK Gaming Laptop

Enough USB ports. Individual audio and mic jacks are a plus. The rest are standard and working well.
It has a lot of USB connectivity as well as a mini DisplayPort, which is very cool.
Connecting to Wi-Fi is very simple and stable. All connectors are conveniently located.
The usb ports are kind of tight and it makes it hard to insert some usb sticks that are totally fine with other computers.
I had problem with unreliable wifi. The connection disconnects around 30 min - 1.5hrs of usage.

Acer Predator Helios 300 (PH315-51-78NP) Gaming Laptop

I've managed to get things working using a DisplayPort-compatible USB adapter to connect to the TV.
There are windows reality ready so if you have VR you can connect it.
Connection for power adapter is strong (we have had many that break).
Mac had problems at times with connecting to WiFi or Bluetooth, this one has never had any issues.
No Gigabyte connection via LAN.
