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

great for fortnite, 144 constant fps

Pros:

Terrible

Battery could be better for so much money.

Other than the high temperature this laptop can reach I cannot understand the design of the edges, why are they so sharp or was mine not finished. There are 2 sharp edges at both ends of the base facing the user. Thats a dangerous flaw.

Heavy screen bleed in upper right hand corner on first boot. Otherwise good quality picture. Returned. Photo is supposed to be an all black screen with the exception of the mouse.

Muy optima

It works!

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.

I had read that this machine ran hot so I bought a fan pad with 4 fans and never used it without the pad. It did get very hot and I started seeing some glitches in the video when playing games. I never overclocked it, but right after the 2 year mark, I got blue screens where it was stuck in permanent repair mode and I would get pixelated static bands across the screen. Sine the video is integrated, there is no replacing the video card, so now its a paperweight.
