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

I originally bought this in April for the dual purpose of work from home and playing video games. It runs most modern games decently well, which you would expect given the staggering price tag, but you had definitely pray that nothing goes wrong with your machine because Acer support absolutely 100% does not have your back.

What can I say, i7 10th Gen, RTX 3060, 144hz screen. Its a great feat for this price.

Opened my new laptop and booted it up. The screen was solid white and a large crack in the screen. Very upset as this was my son’s graduation gift —now needing to return it back.

Excellent

Originally my review was good before I realized this laptop runs extremely hotter than any system should. Under Minimal load with fans at max RPM I am seeing spikes reaching 90-95 degree Celsius. I sent it in for this issue and when I got it back the problem is still there. Acer says that they resolved the problem and tried telling me these are normal temps. These are not normal temps as the CPU melts very close to this temp. After being run around for a while I am beginning to think this is all a scam. They make some lemons and give people a run around until they cannot return the damn thing. I should have realized something was up when it took them THREE tries to get my email right in order to send a shipping label for repair.

I did a lot of research and found this was the perfect laptop for what I needed. I was excited to order it and see how great it would be. The day came when it got delivered. I opened it up, plugged it in. It is way bigger and bulkier than i thought it would be. I turn it on and immediately there is a big noticeable light bleed spot on the bottom left of the screen. Annoying, but only noticeable on darker colors. (I reached out to support, but apparently it didnt warrant a repair or replacement)

Cuando me llegó la laptop me sentí emocionado, pero cuando la conecté a su cargador (sin prenderla) sentí como se llenó de estática o corriente, haciendo que todo el equipo vibrara incluso apagada, creí que era normal en la primera carga hasta el 100%. Después de un día siguió igual y más notoria la vibración y estática en todas partes del ordenador mientras estaba apagada con el cargador. Pedí un reemplazo a los dos días. Aquí estoy esperando a que envíen uno sin ese complejo.

This laptop has better hardware than the current gen consoles offers. Plays everything at max settings with no issue. I literally cant think of anything to say about it other than if youre reading this, close the other tabs youre comparing and just buy this one. Its going to do what you want it to.

UPDATE on my original review:

I know very little about computer spec for a high quality gaming laptop, but after reviewing products, I felt this product had the functionality my son needed for online gaming and the price was reasonable in comparison to the other products with similar specs. I got this laptop as a Christmas gift for my son, and he loves it! He said the graphics are awesome and he said the speed is high enough that he isn’t experiencing any lag when playing online games. I highly recommend this quality product that won’t break the bank!
