The Acer Predator Helios 300 PH317-56-718D (Predator Helios 300 Series) 1TB / 32GB is Acer's 2021 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 3,599 in the UAE and ₹89,990 in India, it sits firmly in the upper mid-range tier.
The Acer Predator Helios 300 PH317-56-718D excels with its Intel Core i7-12700H and NVIDIA 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 4–5 hours under light use, though gaming drains it in under 90 minutes. It’s built for gamers and 3D artists needing sustained 150W GPU output, not travelers. Weight hits 2.99kg, and the power brick adds another 1.03kg—awkward for commuting. Thermals throttle under prolonged 100% load, with CPU temps hitting 98°C and GPU at 82°C in stress tests. Storage is a single 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD—fast, but not expandable. In UAE at AED 3599, it’s good value because competitors charge more for similar GPU tiers. In India at ₹89990, it’s overpriced; the same specs appear on Lenovo Legion or ASUS ROG models for ₹75000–₹82000, with better cooling and warranty.
