The Acer Predator Helios 300 PH317-56-718D (Predator Helios 300 Series) 1TB / 32GB is Acer's 2020 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 2,999 in the UAE and ₹74,990 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 sustained 150W GPU performance for 1440p gaming and AI workloads, backed by 32GB DDR5-4800 RAM for multitasking. Its 90Wh battery supports 4–5 hours under light use, though gaming drains it in under 90 minutes. This machine targets competitive gamers and 3D artists needing consistent frame rates, not portability. Weight hits 2.99kg, and the power adapter adds another 1.03kg — cumbersome for travel. Thermals throttle under prolonged 100% loads, especially in warm climates like Dubai or Delhi. Storage is a single 1TB NVMe drive — fast, but not expandable. In UAE at AED 2999, it’s good value because the RTX 3070 Ti and DDR5 RAM are rare at this price. In India at ₹74990, it’s overpriced; competitors offer similar GPUs with better cooling and dual SSD slots for under ₹70000.
