It works!

This product runs incredibly hot and if you actually use it to play a game, the battery dies so fast you have to keep it plugged in.

Okay, so I was hesitant on this laptop because some of the reviews mentioned bad temperatures. I was concerned with getting a laptop with bad thermal paste (which does happen). However, the laptop came super well! Lots of reviewers fail to mention the healthy temperature levels. Idle should be 30-45c. And under full load it should never go past 85c. EVER!!! If it goes past, its likely it could either be, 1: Bad Thermal Paste/application, 2: Bad Fans, 3:Lack of contact with HeatSinks. 4: Bad Ventilation. If buying new, and the temps arent matching, exchange it, as shipping can sometimes damage components. Laptops generally require maintenance. If heavy using, 1-2 Years. Make sure those temps never go past 85c. Over time you will have to replace the thermal paste or fans may give out. Arctic Mx4 is the best paste. Those are very very easy fixes. Just keep that in mind when buying ANY gaming laptop! If you are scared to tamper with it, buy some insurance and send it to acer. (Continuing with the review......) With poor ventilation I was reaching 85c. I bought a laptop cooler, the IETS with rubber rings. Im getting incredible temperatures! Never going past 78c! This laptop is very heavy on proper Ventilation. If you look at the design there are a ton of vents from the bottom that push out through the top of the keyboard. S1I think a laptop cooler is necessary if youre gonna be gaming. This thing is incredible. Im running games on High/Max settings (Elden Ring, warzone, apex) and getting awesome frames. I upgraded the ram to 32GB and this thing is a work horse. Dual rank 3200 32gb ram will increase your frames by about 15, and more opened tabs!! ;) I also installed a 2tb samsung ssd. (Which I highly recommend you do) It is much easier to install an nvme than the SATA one. So I would recommend getting a m.2 nvme. Opening the back piece for upgrades can be a challenge. There Is a trick to it, and its likely you will break something if you dont get it right. So dont force it! So be very careful and gentle when doing it. Use a pick to slowly Pry it open. Pull from the vents back side. The battery can get kinda hot too. So make sure its in a good spot. You can also set the battery charge level to 80% for longer battery lifespan. Thats pretty much it! Its an amazing laptop for the price and power! Bang for your buck! Happy gaming!

I love doing tech reviews and if you want more in-depth reviews check out my YouTube channel OndaWire where I give the pros and the cons on everything. Working from has become challenging and finding a good PC to get my work, video and photo editing, side task, reviews, watching movies, and some gaming done is a challenge. I found this Acer Predator Helios 300 PH315-54-760S Gaming Laptop a little over a month ago and have been using it every day, and ALL I CAN SAY IS, WOW!!!

I needed a new laptop in a pinch. Performance wise this isn’t a bad laptop. Problem I have is this thing runs HOT! Both the laptop and battery will get super hot to the touch. You can’t rest your hand and type bc your wrists start to burn. I’ve only had it 3 months and looking to replace it already.

they do not mea 16gb ram and an extra slot they mean 2 8gb ram so if you want to make it up to 32 ou need to buy two 16gb rams plus installing this stuff is not user freidl since they prefer you to pay them more to get what yo really wanted

Laptop is amazing

acer helios 300 is the acers bread and butter laptop. worth it!

Great priced laptop with power to run our livestreams.
