Acer Predator Helios 300 Gaming Laptop, Intel i7-10750H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU, 15.6 Full HD 144Hz 3ms IPS Display, 16GB DDR4, 512GB NVMe SSD, WiFi 6, RGB Keyboard, PH315-53-71HN

Bought this Acer Predator after a lot of research. Found good features in this price range. But after using for 8 months, the product poor quality started to uncover. Battery stopped charging all together. Have to keep power cord inserted all the time to use it, which is of course not feasible.

I was worry to send me the wrong product but when I got it and checked all the system info was the right one that they advertised good job.... I love my laptop i have a custom build desktop but I need it something mobile to play my games... I will buy it again!!!!!!

Nice

Great for pretty much anything you could want to do. Windows 11 capable and Acer is the best brand out there. I had other predator models as well and there isnt a brand out there that can deliver like acer can.

Edit: does not have a D drive only a C drive. Going to need to buy an external hard drive.

Overall great laptop, loving it so far. I mostly use it to play Warzone. The CPU in particular was getting quite hot as gaming laptops often do (90+ degrees Celsius) even with a cooling pad, so I looked up some YouTube videos on cooling and found out about a free program called ThrottleStop which allows you to 1) undervolt the laptop (reducing voltage to your CPU) and 2) dropping Turbo Ratio Limits down (I dropped to 32 for all cores), which caps the turbo speed of the laptop.

***EDIT*** ***The Pictures of the Laptop open are a before and after, It does have a WD SN730 Nvme M.2 Pci-e SSD but I also added a 250GB Samsung 970 Evo Plus NVMe V-Nand M.2 Pci-e SSD I had laying around to the build and its very very simple to take off and upgrade, just a few screws and pull from the back where the exhaust fans are located and it also has an extra Nvme Screw as well*** I build PCs on the side and have for years this laptop CAN DO IT ALL, it has a great CPU the Core i7-10750H with 6 cores and 12 threads which is plenty for modern gaming and 12Mb of Intel level 3 smart cache and its paired with the BEASTLY NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 6GB GDDR6 laptop gpu, which is Overclockable with the touch of a button and has 3840 Cuda Cores and 30 2nd generation Ray Tracing cores also its running 336Gb/Sec on a 192 bit memory bus interface which runs at 14Gb/s and sits around 11 Teraflops of graphical power from a LAPTOP, think about that! I have pushed this thing to its limits Days Gone PC version thats just released on the 18th I can play MAXED OUT setting on everything and it never dipped below 90fps and my average was around 124-127fps, this thing is just as powerful as my RTX 2070 Super Gaming X Trio gpu in my one desktop, I own an RTX 2080 Ti, RTX 3080 but theyre all Desktop Gpus but it definitely gives the 2070 Super Desktop GPU some good competition without a doubt. And its Ampere 8nm architecture so newest Nvidia technology compared to 12nm Turing architecture, and the screen is absolutely gorgeous playing day or night with a true IPS display running at 144Hz @ 3ms, if you want a SOLID GOOD LAPTOP FOR GAMING, this is it, the ACER Predator Helios 300 cant be beat and I own Asus/Origin/Dell etc etc laptops as well and nothing ever Beats my ACER LAPTOPS, and this beauty is made of a nice metal and sturdy plastic on certain parts but mostly metal and u can see the quality ACER put into this laptop, and yes the PREDATOR symbol on the screen lights up and its perfect for letting others know you mean business lol I recommend 100% for the bang for your buck! Thats it thats all I got for ya

I wrote a review like this but I’m the wrong product. This was a computer my father bought for me from his Amazon account. 7 months after purchase. Wi-Fi adapter had to be replaced at the lab. 6-7 months after 1 year warranty expired, i7 core cpu is dead and has to be replaced. Short story short computer is dead and the only way to fix it is to pay half the price of the computer. Have to shop for a new computer now. They need to extend the warranty to at least five years because they knowingly give you horrible quality hardware then the warranty expires and you can’t do anything about it meanwhile they don’t care cause they move on to sell the next product line. It’s a scam unless they address these reviews honestly. Otherwise this is all a grift.

This baby is solid. If you want a 2k PC but cant afford it .....this is the substitute. Only issue I have ran into with this is sometimes after hours of gaming it gets a little warm. I bought a fan for it and it seems to suffice.

The display is out for this world, at this point in time gaming laptops are actually cheaper than building so I think this is a good investment!
