It's worth noting that my model may be specific to the market in my region. There are definitely other Helios 300 configurations with better screens and dual channel memory available, however lower power limits with the 3060 model still exist as far as I'm aware.

The model which i have is out of stock from 45 days till now. I am assuming their marketing strategy is focuses on developing and under developed countries and continents. They target Asian market like Indonesia, Philippines, India, Pakistan etc.

It's one thing if the Helios 300 fell from "best in class" to "still pretty good against tough competition". It fell straight into "significantly worse than its predecessors despite newer hardware and uncommendable against rivals". Acer's best price-conscious gaming laptop is the Swift X 🤣

I still own the 2019 version, and let me tell you it's not all fine and dandy with that too. I mean it's decent for gaming but not that great. The PredatorSense software, when opened kicks the CPU usage by 15% and therefore the fan speed. Simple googling rasies the CPU temps to a socrcthing 70C. I'm in University, I don't usually switch my laptop off, I put it to hibernate, I don't know for some reason, after a few cycles of hibernation when using it the CPU temps reaches 80C, I have to do a resrtart the damn thing to bring it back to normal and yes I repasted both the CPU and GPU. And did I mention, I got BCD 3 times just by playing PUBG (early 2020) that's when I stopped gaming on that.

I have upgrade my ram thoo and every think work exelent for me no black screen or other things and it was from 16gb to 32 gb . To reach the max TDP u just need to stay on turbo mode other way u get 80- 90 no more . The temps was bad at begin when i have buy it but i don't care about warranty and have made repaste the laptop by my self and temps never hit above 75 CPU and 65 GPU with long benchmarks . The second problem was SSD nvme sitting in slot on wrong side of mother board and it was covering bios chip witch was hot ASF after changing his slot to other side temps go down on System Temps in predator sense . The third problem is Ethernet and his software , when u have turned off a ethernet from your device manager the temps on system drops in copule second from 80 to 55 . yeah its a bit problem becouse ethernet is ethernet and wifi is su..s . For those who want to use ethernet i can say only one put some thermalpads on that bios chip and thats all you will got maximum temps like that after u make all that steps : 75 CPU 65 GPU and SYSTEM temps around 70 maximum with full stress

This configuration seems slightly different to the one you describe. I am not that knowledgeable about computer hardware, but bought this machine as I have an older version with a GTX1060 inside and 32mb of RAM and found this to be a really good machine. It still is a good machine, but I needed another machine in the house and so went with ACER as I have had a bad HB OMEN machine in the past with firmware issues. Is my new laptop a piece of crap?

Do you think the GPU power limit thing can be fixed by future BIOS update? I got a similar setup and it feels bad that the 3070 will under perform a 3060

I have seen only KZitemr who gave real review of this laptop. Rest KZitemr posted fake good reviews for laptop. I have purchased it and after testing on first day placed return request. My observation is as below after extensive testing 1. Laptop heating issue is as it is. CPU temperature goes to 97 C, System Temperature goes to 70+ C and graphic card 80+ C. 2. Graphic card on turbo mode utilize to 100% with power of 108-110 W. Actual 3070 Graphic card utilize 200 W power for high performance. I have shown this on NVidia website to your engineer 3. As power is locked for 52% utilization for avoiding heating issue we have seen 3070 card not giving highest performance 4. For unMinable 3070 card gives 60MHs output but this laptop gives maximum 45.7 MHs output at 100% utilization 5. We have observed that CPU temperature goes nearly 97% 6. On battery graphic card performance drag to 33 W power which gives just 2 MHs performance output on unminable immediately and after few mins it goes to 0 MHs. This means laptop doesn't utilize graphic card on battery.

I'd rather have 1x16gb ram than 2x8gb. Because later I can get up to 32gb by just buying one stick. If it's 2x8gb it's a pain because u need to buy 2 stick or accept having 24gb.. I just bought the dell g15 and I wish it was 1x16gb even if I lose some performance for a while.

I have the similar model and i bought it here in taiwan. Screen has 3ms response time and is superb probably it varies from region to region. Yes it came with single 16gb stick so i upgraded to 32gb. The issue of lower power limit for gpu is there but once you plug an external monitor as i use it for my daily use gpu hits consistently 105-110 watts. However it shd be fixed in the bios update . One problem is that you cannot undervolt the cpu like you can on msi. Gaming performance and cooling is superb. Enjoying my experience till now
