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

The Good:

I was looking for a laptop with at least nVidia 3060 for a long time. Most of those I found were with a GPU that had reduced power. Well, not this baby! It is a venerable BEAST! I downloaded and installed all new drivers (including BIOS 1.07) and it works like a charm! Anything I threw at it worked flawlessly, full resolution and high/ultra settings.

This is a great midpoint laptop all around. Excellent microphone and sound is a plus

Using mini dp to vr game star wars and Alyx at medium seems playable, 70+frames in boarderlands 3 hdmi out. Rtx stays below 80c. Although Ray tracing enable destroys this card in guardians of galaxy. Still pretty solid 1080p machine. With ray tracing enable I cannot get the card to max wattage for some reason it tops at 95w ): maybe driver issues. My screen does have bleed through but it’s not noticeable while watching movies or YouTube so it not to bad to me . The included 512 ssd is pcie gen 4. The aluminum is nice and keyboard is good too. Upgraded to win 11 easy. I like this laptop a lot, can be loud though.

This Model Acer Predator Helios 300 PH315-54-760S | Intel i7-11800H/ NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 6Gb....... support 64GB Ram!!! I just buy by mistake and upgrade:

The charging jack is faulty and will eventually stop taking a charge, rendering your machine a brick. I’ve purchased three of these laptops, and all 3 developed the issue after about a year. It’s not the cables. I bought several new cables but the Jack doesn’t contact right so no charge. Great machine with a fatal flaw.

Easy to upgrade. Added another TB of NVME m.2 and 32gb of ram to the base model and it was much cheaper and probably better components. Runs 1080 low to mid in 144 frames in just about everything

I use this for work and it has everything I need ⭐️

Quiet as promised; my previous laptop was much more noisy but this Acer is a pleasure to use. The only thing I dont like is that when the screen is dark you can notice backlights at the edges. But it happens when the screen is completely dark so its not a big deal.
