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

I went to the Acer Helios website to see if it was just me, and it sure isnt. This computer freezes a LOT during bootup. I bought it brand new and for whatever reason, 1 out of every 2 times that I try to power it on, itll just freeze on the boot up screen forcing me to do a hard reset.

This laptop was basically exactly what I was looking for. Before then, I never owned a true gaming PC. The only computer I owned before that wasn’t a hand-me-down was a 2016 Acer Aspire E15 with an Intel i5 and a NVIDIA GeForce 940MX graphics card with 8GB of memory. Needless to say, for any serious type of gaming, it was not to last. Games like Sonic Generations had the fan screaming in agony and the game would freeze at random points and games like Street Fighter V at lowest settings ran at about half speed. The only other modern gaming system I have was the Nintendo Switch, and while I love that system, it’s not the best main drive to play the latest blockbuster releases from 3rd Parties. And so, I began looking for a new gaming PC. I tried looking for a desktop all summer but I could never afford or find the parts I wanted and the prebuilt options didn’t impress me. But in September of this year I found this little guy and it had everything looking for it. I saved it up and got it at a discount of $1,100 with some extras such as a new mouse, mousepad, and backpack.

This laptop is my entry into the PC gaming world coming from console. Its been perfect so far. No issues what so ever. 10/10 recommend

Not sure if this is touch screen so I didn’t give any stars for the touch screen, other than that my son loves it and he’s on it all day every day.

El producto está muy bien, pero tiene un problema con la pantalla, tiene manchas a los costados como nubes que son más visibles en lo oscuro.

I like the performance.

This is the second time I bought a Helios 300. The previous one is the 2018 version, compared to these two not only it remain a cheap price, but also it gets much more well-designed. For example, its size is smaller, making it easier to carry, and I can add one more PCIe SSD. Looking forward maybe 2 or 3 years later Acer would make a laptop with this much upgrade!

I had this computer for 1 week when the fan over the cpu stopped working. It currently in the shop. And this worries me. Is this an indicator of whats to come.

Yes
