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

I previously had an older version of this acer predator back when the 1060 was out and felt it was time for an upgrade. This laptop out of all of the gaming laptops that I previewed had the best spec that I could find without completely breaking the bank. The 3060 runs 1080p gaming at 120+mhz refresh rate easily. Its quiet and I have no cons to think of so far a month in.

Would have given it a five had it not been for the ridiculously delayed delivery. Laptop works great, been able to run emulators, and graphic heavy games with ease. Also works great with my 3D design softwares as well.

Solid computer.

The only thing that I dislike could be the cpu temperature because sometimes reach 90 celcius without warning and I must turn on the fans manually to control it (Windows 11) Ive been reaching out for solutions and seems to be an optmization issue with W11

Better than I thought

It works amazingly. I have never had games download so fast.

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.

Spent forever trying to figure what happened to my ethernet connection, tried everything with Microsoft and Acer support. Nothing worked. Have to send my brand new laptop in for a repair and wait two weeks (likely longer because of current shipping in USA.) Not happy with my purchase at all right now.

Don’t work lights in keyboard!!!

I was quite intimidated before I bought it as I’ve never owned a gaming laptop. It’s powerful, stays cold, runs flawlessly. Even the fans aren’t even that loud. I’d even consider it overkill for many games. For reference, you’d be running minimum 130 fps at max settings for rainbow six siege. If your hesitant like I was, it’s definitely a safe bet to go with the acer predator.
