Acer Predator Helios 300 PH317-56

A no-compromise 2022 family of 17-inch laptops for gaming enthusiasts, e-sports players and demanding users looking for a high-performance gaming station that can compete with desktop gaming systems. Traditionally for the Predator Helios series, Acer engineers do not limit themselves to anything, using only the most powerful and progressive components such as Intel Alder Lake hybrid chips and video cards from the NVIDIA Ampere series.

As a result, Predator Helios laptops are able to easily run demanding gaming blockbusters of recent years at the highest graphics settings, allowing the user to enjoy a consistently high frame rate without stuttering or sagging. The hardware stuffing of the series is based on a 20-thread hybrid Core i7 12700H chip, which is complemented by several modules of high-speed DDR5 RAM (volume from 16 to 32 GB, frequency 4800 MHz) and a reactive SSD-drive with PCI-E 4.0 bus support.

This good is cooled by a proprietary cooling system with AeroBlade fans and liquid metal thermal paste. The graphics performance of Helios laptops is revealed by a powerful graphics card from the NVIDIA Ampere family with support for ray tracing and DLSS. Most often, this is either RTX 3070/3070 Ti or RTX 3080. This high-level hardware set provides a serious FPS margin in almost any modern gaming blockbuster at maximum graphics settings. Also, such a serious computing power can be of great help in solving resource-intensive professional tasks related to the creation and processing of digital content. Special mention also deserves a keyboard with zonal backlighting, a Killer E2600 network gaming controller, stereo speakers with DTS X Ultra and a modern set of connection ports, including USB 4 and HDMI 2.1.
