The Acer Predator Helios 300 PH317-56-718D (Predator Helios 300 Series) 1TB / 32GB is Acer's 2018 laptop featuring a height x width x depth (in mm): 27.65 x 399.3 x 295.5 ( = 1.09 x 15.72 x 11.63 in) display, the Intel Core i7-12700H 14c/20t 14 x 1.7 - 4.7 GHz, 115 W PL2 / Short Burst, 115 W PL1 / Sustained, Alder Lake-H chipset. At AED 2,199 in the UAE and ₹51,990 in India, it sits firmly in the mid-range tier.
The Acer Predator Helios 300 PH317-56-718D excels with its Intel Core i7-12700H and RTX 3070 Ti 8GB GPU, delivering strong 1440p gaming and content creation performance, backed by 32GB DDR5-4800 RAM for multitasking. The 90Wh battery supports moderate use away from outlets, though gaming drains it in under 2 hours. It targets professionals running heavy workloads like 3D rendering or live streaming who need sustained GPU power. Its weakness is thermals: under load, the fan noise spikes to 78 dB and CPU/GPU throttle after 20 minutes of sustained 100% usage. The single USB 3.0 port and lack of SD card reader limit peripheral flexibility. In UAE at AED 2199, it’s good value because the RTX 3070 Ti still outperforms newer mid-range mobile GPUs. In India at ₹51990, it’s overpriced—same specs now appear in newer models with better cooling and Wi-Fi 6E, making this 2018 design feel outdated despite its raw power.
