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 is a gaming laptop so dont be expecting 12 hr long battery life if youre doing things like gaming, 3d modeling, etc. I love the customizable keyboard and matte feel. The only con is 500GB storage is probably not enough unless youre constantly cleaning out storage and using an external hard drive, you can also put in your own ssd but the warranty will most likely be invalid if you do that so i suggest doing that after the warranty expires.

Most games look like irl and have a very great frame rate speed. Not all game need turbo or extreme mode to run flawlessly which is nice.

Runs smooth, great screen quality, and unless you’re installing a ton of large size games the 512GB SSD is good. It’s got it’s quirks- this is the first gaming laptop I’ve had that makes weird noises and physically lags a bit when you unplug it while using it, and I’ve noticed some instances (once a month or so) of graphical weirdness while watching videos online where things will get blurry and require a restart to fix itself- but for a gaming laptop with a 3060 at a decent price it so far seems like a winner. Great for someone who likes to keep up with a few new games every year and wants a machine that can handle that, though more hardcore folks may want to get something a bit bigger on the memory front.

What the title says. Its great for gaming if you want this laptop to never last then go ahead let it push and die in a year. I played games like hell let loose, halo infinite, elden ring, assassins creed valhalla and also do a lot of rendering work and while its normal for these games to get these laptops hot, this thing went up to 90c to 100c hot. This is with a cooling pad, and the fan running at turbo and some how managed to hit tjmax. The build is decent and has seen some abuse such as accidentally dropping it a few times and never noticing any substantial drop in performance. On the other hand, too bad itll drop in performance anyways when the interior gets so hot that it needs turbo on all the time as the cpu gets so hot that it lowers the clock speed to save itself. Also, The predator button is the stupidest design choice ive ever seen and the program itself manages to take 20% of cpu load and make the laptop hotter by having the program running by itself. I dont care if I can change the predator buttons settings, as having it where the num lock is annoying and shows how much acer cared about keyboard design when they first made this.

great for fortnite, 144 constant fps

Yes

this laptop is a upgrade to the acer nitro 5 laptop i got back in December it just couldnt cut it for gaming while this thing has been running quite well since i got it my games for the most part have been running fine though i would recommend upgrading ram to 32gb depending on the games you play as some game configurations wont leave you enough ram but for the most part ive been quite happy with the laptop ive only had it for about 10 days so far

I use this puppy for some cpu intensive music production and it handles it like a champ. Just make sure its plugged in when putting it through its steps. It drains pretty fast but thats to be expected.

Gets warm fast too fast. Starts to bang

I bought this for my wife to play some of her games on. She loves it! It is fast, and the graphics are amazing. Battery life is a little low IMO, but it is a gaming laptop, so battery life is not a big concern.
