Review on 💻 Acer Predator Helios 300 Gaming Laptop, i7-10750H, RTX 3060 Laptop GPU, 15.6" Full HD 144Hz 3ms IPS Display, 16GB DDR4, 512GB NVMe SSD, WiFi 6, RGB Keyboard, PH315-53-71HN by Jermaine Batista

I would like to point out that I have only had it a week and I will update if anything changes in my rating. Overall, before I go into too much detail, I am very happy with this laptop and its performance. The price I bought was $1418.99 for an Intel i7-10750H with rtx 3060 and 500G m.2. Laptop availability has been pretty low and I feel like I didn't overpay for the current market. Pros: Rtx 3060 is slightly better than expected. This is an 80W variant, but it ramps up to 100W very well with peaks in excess of 115W. The Turbo button above the keyboard is actually more useful than I expected. In Cyberpunk at max settings with medium ray tracing it's an easily playable 55 fps, and in Turbo it's an average of 5 fps or higher even in the worst areas. The temperature scared me at first because I saw spikes over 90C, but I found that this was only a temporary phenomenon and the average temperature with a decent fan curve was 69-75C on both the CPU and GPU . The built-in Predator Sense software is helpful. But I still downloaded MSI Afterburner to play on the level. Cons: The fans get pretty loud when you turn on the turbo. So if you have a decent headset and no one is around, this will get in the way. But when people are around you, they will think you have a jet engine running. But even without Turbo mode, you get more than reproducible frame rates in every game I've played. Most new games like Cyberpunk and ValhallaBattery are anything but. That can be as much as an hour if you're playing heavy games and 7 hours if you keep the battery saver mode and only use it for light work like Google Chrome or YouTube. Other aspects: The screen was nothing special. Not super bright, but not too dark or blinding either. The keyboard is fine. Again nothing special. This is a laptop. The bloated software wasn't that bad. Just deleted everything. But overall this is a responsive little laptop for light gaming and can even get some work done. I'm very satisfied because I'm a trucker every day and needed something more portable yet powerful to play new games without upgrading to a $2,000 or more computer. I would recommend it to others. Edit: I forgot to say that the photos are non-turbo and turbo on the 3D stamp.
