Acer Predator Helios 300 Intel Core i7 11th Gen 11800H – (16 GB/1 TB HDD/512 GB SSD/Windows 10 Home/6 GB Graphics/NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060/165 Hz) PH315-54 Gaming Laptop

The performance to price ratio is great.
Display (QHD 165Hz) 5/5
Performance (i7 11800H powered with RTX 3060) 5/5
Battery 3/5
Ergonomics 5/5

If your budget is in this range you can opt for this model without any hesitation.
1.The DISPLAY is the best feature with QHD resolution and sRGB of 100% it is perfect for your Productivity as well as Gaming with its added 165hz refresh rate.

2. This particular generation of Intel processor is great for productivity work. Gaming is buttery smooth with this Graphics card rtx 3060. Titles tried are COD War
zone, Horizon Zero Dawn, GTA 5 and Shadow of the Tomb Raider with ultra settings. (PS. Prolonged use will heat up the laptop, get a cooling pad. If you’re casually gaming then it’s fine). The THERMALS are managed well. Dual channel memory 16GB RAM makes its blazing fast.

3. The battery is a bit of letdown. Casually using it gives you 3-4 hours with single charge. If you’re using it for graphic intensive work as a rule of thumb please plug and play.

4. The top body is aluminum with predator logo glow while switched on. The RGB keyboard layout is four-zone customizable. It’s design is very sleek and weighs around 1.5kg without charger brick. However, it is a fingerprint magnet.

Overall, it’s a great laptop to purchase at this price range. If you’re looking for a high performance laptop, I would highly recommend it. Thank you Flipkart for such a professional and quick delivery.

Got the laptop 4 days after ordering via big billion sale.

This laptop was bang for buck for the specs and with 1.1L price tag (old laptop exchange around 10k brought me the final price to 98k).

Coming to the laptop its handles all the heavy tasks thrown to it with no issues.

Gaming tested few previous year titles like Division 2 , Watch Dogs 2 , COD MW , The crew 2 , NFS Heat, Ghost Recon Breakpoint and got more than 60 FPS ( I allowed NVIDIA control panel to take care of the graphic optimization)

Pros:
1. Good Build
2. Handle all heavy load with ease
3. Many RGB optimizations in the predator sense for Keyboard
4. 165Hz refresh rate
5. Dual Channel memory gives the best output (some laptops say 16gb but give you a single channel RAM)

Cons:
1. The battery (max gives me 2 hours unplugged for Gaming before the battery dies out)
2. The heat on the entire laptop including the keyboard after around 45mins – 1hr of gaming
3. Poor speakers (honestly most of us would be using headphones so this was not much of a bother to me)

Will test the laptop more and update the review if any new findings.

If you are looking for a mid tier gaming lap then close your eyes and go for this. Have been using this for 2 months now and no problems so far.
Temps do go upto 90, but can be solved by some thermal paste or allowing airflow below the lap.
The temps are higher when browsing or idling compared to other laps but no need to get alarmed as i7 11th gen has more cores and thus produces more heat.

Bottom line this is the best value for money product in mid range.
Ps : forgot abt the display, 2k qhd screen is a wonder 🙂
