Acer Predator Helios 300 PH315-54-760S Gaming Laptop | Intel i7-11800H | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 GPU | 15.6 FHD 144Hz 3ms IPS Display | 16GB DDR4 | 512GB SSD | Killer WiFi 6 | RGB Keyboard

Runs smooth, great screen quality, and unless you’re installing a ton of large size games the 512GB SSD is good. It’s got it’s quirks- this is the first gaming laptop I’ve had that makes weird noises and physically lags a bit when you unplug it while using it, and I’ve noticed some instances (once a month or so) of graphical weirdness while watching videos online where things will get blurry and require a restart to fix itself- but for a gaming laptop with a 3060 at a decent price it so far seems like a winner. Great for someone who likes to keep up with a few new games every year and wants a machine that can handle that, though more hardcore folks may want to get something a bit bigger on the memory front.

i dont dislike a thing its everything i ever wanted in a Laptop i have been playing games non stop on it its so beautiful and sexy god i love it and it came on time thank god every thing went good if you pay that much money for something you want it to work out the box and it did YESSS

Acer has really hit it out of the park with their Helios 300 gaming laptop line, in terms of offering high end gaming laptop specs at a reasonable price. This laptop offers both a high end laptop NVIDIA graphics card (RTX 3060) and a fairly high end 11th generation Intel processor (I7-11800H). They include a 144Hz refresh rate FHD display. They throw in a fast 512Gb NVMe boot drive, a Killer/Intel Ax1650i Ethernet/WiFi system, and a generous array of laptop ports. All at a price thats considerably cheaper than competitors are asking laptops with comparable specs.

This is gonna be short and sweet. It hasn’t given me any issues while gaming, producing music, and just surfing the web. The processor is definitely a step up from what I have and I plan to keep it here. The only CON I have is that when you unplug this guy gaming is not the way to go. Keep it plugged in for the best results while you’re gaming. Everything else works as normal but gaming lacks as soon as you hit about 30% 40%

This laptop comes with everything you need. The i7 and 3060 combo is great for gaming. The 1080 screen with 144hz is smooth and fairly sharp. Also the upgradability is fantastic, you can throw in another m.2, a 2.5 inch ssd or hard drive, and switch both ram slots for higher capacity. The only downsides, screen has some bleed and the battery life is quite bad. Make sure you keep it plugged in, I get maybe 3 hours of internet browsing/streaming off of a full charge.

Okay, so I was hesitant on this laptop because some of the reviews mentioned bad temperatures. I was concerned with getting a laptop with bad thermal paste (which does happen). However, the laptop came super well! Lots of reviewers fail to mention the healthy temperature levels. Idle should be 30-45c. And under full load it should never go past 85c. EVER!!! If it goes past, its likely it could either be, 1: Bad Thermal Paste/application, 2: Bad Fans, 3:Lack of contact with HeatSinks. 4: Bad Ventilation. If buying new, and the temps arent matching, exchange it, as shipping can sometimes damage components. Laptops generally require maintenance. If heavy using, 1-2 Years. Make sure those temps never go past 85c. Over time you will have to replace the thermal paste or fans may give out. Arctic Mx4 is the best paste. Those are very very easy fixes. Just keep that in mind when buying ANY gaming laptop! If you are scared to tamper with it, buy some insurance and send it to acer. (Continuing with the review......) With poor ventilation I was reaching 85c. I bought a laptop cooler, the IETS with rubber rings. Im getting incredible temperatures! Never going past 78c! This laptop is very heavy on proper Ventilation. If you look at the design there are a ton of vents from the bottom that push out through the top of the keyboard. S1I think a laptop cooler is necessary if youre gonna be gaming. This thing is incredible. Im running games on High/Max settings (Elden Ring, warzone, apex) and getting awesome frames. I upgraded the ram to 32GB and this thing is a work horse. Dual rank 3200 32gb ram will increase your frames by about 15, and more opened tabs!! ;) I also installed a 2tb samsung ssd. (Which I highly recommend you do) It is much easier to install an nvme than the SATA one. So I would recommend getting a m.2 nvme. Opening the back piece for upgrades can be a challenge. There Is a trick to it, and its likely you will break something if you dont get it right. So dont force it! So be very careful and gentle when doing it. Use a pick to slowly Pry it open. Pull from the vents back side. The battery can get kinda hot too. So make sure its in a good spot. You can also set the battery charge level to 80% for longer battery lifespan. Thats pretty much it! Its an amazing laptop for the price and power! Bang for your buck! Happy gaming!

La batería dura muy poco, tienes que tener conectado el ordenador con cualquier tarea que estés realizando

If there were no underlying issues with this laptop I would rate as 5 Stars and higher recommend. However, having owned this laptop for less than 30 days Ive experienced too many issues and am returning for a refund. First and foremost is the random shutdowns that occur without warning or provocation (i.e laptop idle/not overheating), refusing to open desktop applications or games (particularly Steam games), and restart times in excess of 10 minutes when system locks up. What convinced me to return and not purchase another Helios 300 are the number of people on the Acer support forums that have experienced similar issues without resolution. If you purchase and dont experience these issues, congrats on having an amazing gaming laptop that runs games excellently, that hasnt been my experience and must caution: buyer beware.

Very high quality resolution and easy to type on the keyboard. Added bonus of numerical keys to the right of the standard keyboard! All in all, very pleased with the Predator Helios300!!

Was able to do more than I expected with this laptop. I can play a lot of big title games with a mix of mid to high settings. The sound is about what you would expect from a laptop but nobody picks a laptop based on its stock speakers. Says it has windows 10 but you will be asked to upgrade to 11 for free on startup. If youre looking for an affordable laptop to get started with PC gaming, I can recommend this one from my experience.
