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

This Acer Predator laptop is more expensive than other Acer brand lower level gaming laptops, but its hardly upgradable. It has weird design in the bottom case with very sticky parts on the hinge and side. Even with proper toolkit, its difficult to open the entire bottom case for RAM and SSD expansion. Most importantly, the laptop comes with Windows 10 Home 20H2 version OS. After initial set up of the laptop, it requires to do mandatory updates to keep up with the current system. After a few seconds of wait, the laptop tries to restart and said Windows updates are running. Then the nightmare loop happens again and again. The restart process has repeated over 50 times, but the laptop has not finished Windows updates for more than 10 hours. Just returned the laptop with original box and accessories to Amazon within 24 hours receiving it. Do not bother to contact the manufacturer for technical support, since they will tell you to do the same. The only way to resolve the issue is to open the bottom case and take out the SSD to wipe out the defective Windows 10 Home OS 20H2 version (its not compatible with latest 11th gen intel processor), and then reinstall Windows 10 Home 21H1 or Windows 11 on the laptop. You cannot do that on your own, since the laptops bottom case is very difficult to open.

This machine for the price is amazing , yes some components are under clocked and ya it can reach some pretty high temperatures but what your getting for the 2 pcie and a extra sata bay is a lot! There’s a lot of bloat ware but nothing some debloating programs to fix. The screen is becoming unreadable

It works!

REVISED REVIEW after continued use. If you get this machine, definitely invest in a multi-yeared service. Its been less than a year and machine now disconnects randomly, overheats and is rather unreliable for regular (not gaming) use! BUYER BEWARE

La maquina esta completa, el envió sin problemas todo esta perfecto, es una excelente laptop con las especificaciones que indica la publicidad recién llegada a ECUADOR lastimosamente en mi pais esa laptop tiene un costo de un 50 porciento mas si la compro en local por eso estoy contento por la compra de Amazon me encanta esta maquina Calidad precio increible

This gaming laptop offers a great gaming experience for a amazingly affordable price. With all the tech packed into this beauty, Im surprised it didnt cost hundreds more. Used with a 144Hz 27 HD monitor, it really shines and provides a much better gaming experience than my Xbox ever did. I dont know about battery life since I have only used it plugged into the power supply so far. Still surprised I got such a powerful gaming laptop for such a relatively low price!

I honestly dont have anything bad to say about this laptop. Ive had no issues what so ever since I got it. If youre looking to get started out in gaming and not wanting a full blown rig this is the right choice.

By far my best Amazon purchase I’ve made

Yeah right off the box light bleading like in other reviews but not an issue for me easy to add one more nvme and ssd. Te battery in game mode is bad bit thats to be expected and yeas the turbo air is loud but again it does the job great

3060 has 105 Watt TDP, but no IGP to dedicated GPU switch. Battery life is about 4-5 hours (with CPU set to minimum and 50% brightness + IGP only). Minor keyboard flex, but keys feel good. Touch pad is very responsive, but has loud tap in the center. Display is very good, minimal light bleed. Display hinges feel solid, minimal to zero wobble when open. Metal laptop base, plastic bottom, plastic display lid. Good amount of storage expansion options - 2x NVMe, 1x 2.5 SATA. Comes with WiFi 6 (802.11ax) standard - good range and good speeds.
