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

Very nice setup for gaming , I can play almost any game on high definition 100+fps the turbo mode helps it stay cool and works like a charm, thanks amazon and predator!

You need a decent rig to game on, I mean go to college/work. You also can’t break the bank any more than the family has done so far.

The screen is super low ms response time!!! regret buying this, shoulda gotten something way cheaper. It’s big and bulky, the fan turns on just on startup lmao!!

This laptop performs phenomenally! Capable of running Elden Ring at 1440p High settings @60fps! That’s incredible and I love it. Currently using the laptop for on the go gaming and editing whilst also using it on downtime with my 4K 55” and it works perfect! This thing can run a surprising amount of games at 4K and 1440p perfectly fine. The system gives a lot of fan settings to really tune it up to how you want it to play. Extreme mode is the best for absolute gaming but it can get very loud, I recommend default of Quite if you plan to just watch YouTube or something. Build quality is strong and the keyboard is great! Beautiful system all around.

Overall impression its a great mid range laptop for the money. Highly recommend that you upgrade to 32G of ram first and foremost. Secondly I added a 2tb Samsung SSD along with another 2TB Samsung M.2 Drive. Laptop has connectors for the additional ssd slot along with one open m.2 slot. The laptop comes with 16g ( 2 x 8 ) so I ended up buying 2 x 16 crucial 3200 for a easy going price. Great PC, make sure you get yourself a cooling pad and you wont need to worry. Great build, CPU GPU.

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.

So I compared this one to the performance of a Lenovo Legion 5 that sported an AMD Ryzen 5800H CPU/3050Ti GPU. The Ryzen scored better in Cinebench but the Helios scored better in Heaven due to the 3060. The fans didnt ramp up to bad in both Cinebench and Heaven but the CPU did throttle peaking at 94c. Cinebench score was 12594, Heaven, it scored a 5034 with 406 FPS max. I then ran the same tests using the turbo mode and extreme profile to see what difference it made. The CPU ran much cooler and scored better in Cinebench with a 12824, GPU stayed cooler as well, but performance for whatever reason, slipped. In Heaven I recorded a score of 4264 with 365FPS max. Thought those numbers to be a bit odd, you would think using the extreme mode it would be pulling better numbers on the GPU. I loved the keyboard on this, much more customizable then the Legion 5 was, another thing you can customize in software is the boot logo. The laptop also makes this kind of cool musical tone when you first boot it up which Ive never seen before. Gonna have to find out how that is done and try doing it myself. The IPS screen looks absolutely amazing on this. Power supply is a 230 watt unit and this also comes with a carrying case of sorts that you can put it into. Like I said I compared this to my Lenovo Legion, which is priced about $200 less. All in all, it was very hard to say which is the better machine. There are pluses and minuses to be found in each one, but I think you are getting your moneys worth either way.

Any game u throw, it can run

Very high quality resolution and easy to type on the keyboard. Added bonus of numerical keys to the right of the standard keyboard! All in all, very pleased with the Predator Helios300!!

This is a great laptop for a very good price, totally recommended, the only thing unexpected was the RAM sticks (nowhere says it has 2x8GB) so I assumed it had 1x16GB and got another 1x16 to expand
