About Acer Gaming Laptop Predator 300 - H-Series Core i7 40GB RAM 1TB SSD Backlit KB NVIDIA RTX 3060 Graphics 14" 144Hz IPS FHD Screen
Acer's Predator is an absolute monster when it comes to portable gaming. It's also a departure from the usual aggressive look of gaming laptops with a more muted and professional silver design that's just 17.9mm thin, while still featuring intels 11th generation processor and NVIDIAs 30 series graphics.
Packing these specs into such a thin chassis is no easy feat and is achieved thanks to Acers latest AeroBlade 3D Fan technology that maximizes cooling and enable overclocking at the press of a button. The result is a gaming laptop that weighs just 1.7kg and offers unbeatable overall performance.
The display is a joy, offering full-hd visuals and ips-quality viewing angles. The Predator Triton also boasts an impressive 144hz refresh rate that means you can run a wide variety of AAA titles at their best quality* while not having to suffer a drop in framerate.
NVIDIAs newest RTX 3060 graphics chip is a beast and has 6GB dedicated graphics. It's paired with intels newest intel i7 processor plus 40GB RAM making it equally ideal for photo and video editing plus other complex non-gaming related activities.
You won't struggle for storage either with a huge 1TB nvme solid-state drive that greatly reduces the loading time of windows 11 while also offering up-to five times faster day-to-day performance when benchmarked agsinst older SSD types.
