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 replaces a 4 year old predator that my son spilled a glass of water on. Nice replacement. He said it was faster for gaming.

Very nice machine. Fast. A little on the noisy side but it is a gaming laptop, win some lose some. I like that it has an extra m.2 slot and an open SATA ssd bay. Did not like mine came loaded with Windows 11 instead of Windows 10 like stated on the purchase page but Im just being picky.

No touchscreen but has just about every thing else. Needed a laptop for my Cricut machine as my old one just couldn’t handle the demand. Works perfect. Battery is questionable as after using it for the Cricut for a couple hours the battery had less than a third remaining. Plan on using this for crafting and watching downloaded movies when we are away from WiFi and data. Looking forward to watching movies on it.

The Good:

Just keep it plugged and you’re good vr compatible no issues

After much research this is the best bang for your buck gaming laptop

So far this computer has been good. Ive played Doom Eternal and I am now playing Cyberpunk 2077 on it. The games look great and run well. Its a decently solid machine. I added 2 additional hard drives to it. I did not like how the casing comes apart to add the hard drives. It felt like very delicate procedure designed to break the casing. I got it done without breaking anything, but definitely watch videos on how to do it before you try. The bios is odd, I want to figure out how to set one of the added hard drives as bootable, but the bios doesnt seem to want me to do that...says something about window boot manager?. I would prefer the old c, d, f, g or whatever it used to be. Sometimes a guy just wants to set the boot order to 1st a non-bootable drive, then another non-bootable drive and then the bootable drive....actually I wanted to figure out if I could load win 10 on another drive and boot to it so I could run some older firewire audio hardware that doesnt support win 11. Guess that I may be too old or not motivated enough to figure it out. Speakers are tinney but ok. Good ports. Keyboard is ok. Sometimes computer is a bit wonky, locks up on weird stuff or wont boot a game, but I just restart it and everything is fine. The price was good. I am not sure why amazon thinks this thing has a touch screen. It doesnt. I just touched it and it didnt do anything.

This laptop is pretty fast and great. Only thing is that it might heat up pretty easily.

Got it for son to use at college. Work and gaming. Loves it.

You know Acer is speaking to you when you open the box, lift the heavy power brick, and see (because its bigger) that they are using a standard computer power cable instead of the usual brick cable (a plus, because you can misplace the cable!), but then you see a small package of screws. Why? So you can upgrade the SSD (this model shipped with 512GB) if you want.
