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

First time getting a gaming laptop, regular lower priced laptops are not good gaming platforms, this on the other hand greatly exceeded my expectations.

This pc is highly praised as amazing. And as soon as you use the geforce experience the pc will begin to deteriorate fast. Mine died simply because geforce upvolted the games to high hell to the point it cannot run any games, and the acer team knows this is an issue and yet doesnt provide any help because they dont know how to fix the issue. 1500$ down the drain on an overpriced paperweight

For a gaming computer when it starts games without restarting it works but for some reason which I can’t figure out it has issues

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 debated giving this 4 stars but opted for the 5 as a result of customer service.

There was nothing to dislike, it operates perfect. Its just not the most powerful, the processing is two generations old with the i7 and the HDMI has lag from laptop to screen inputs about a second or more of lag from PC to HDMI connected screen. Several crashes even on turbo and low frame games that are 2D. As for portable gaming its the best low end you can get for the price though it should already have the extra ram and ssd installed.

This is a great little laptop with lots of power for the price. Gen 11 i7, an RTX 3060, Thunderport 4, and a very bright 144 Hz display. But there are plenty of reviews that will list out all the wonderful specs. Here are my only complaints. I do have some light bleed around the top and bottom edges of the screen which is disappointing. It is hard to find the battery specs on this laptop but I think it is something like 59 MAH. You you pack this much horse power in a chasey I wish it contained a max 99 MAH battery. There is an extra 2.5 drive bay next to the battery, it would be awesome to offer a bigger battery option at the sacrifice of the drive bay. Lastly, a MUX switch would have been great. I understand this would add to the cost but I would pay extra for those options and a MUX switch it relatively cheap to build into a laptop. Other than that, I researched close to 30 laptops before settling on this one and it did not disappoint.

Llego rápido, la computadora esta bien protegida por el empaque, por lo que llego sin ningún defecto, por el momento todo parece trabajar bien, es exactamente como el anuncio.

I bouht it 2 monts ago, exelent performance! But there is a few minuses, forst very silent audio(i recomend download FxSound to fix it), display have some deffects you can see them in the dark room, steel components is perfect but plastic components very poor, other parts is perfect

This laptop is great at doing what it does when it works. Unfortunately, despite taking good care of it, it seems that plugging in one more USB than I usually do bricked it.
