Acer Predator Helios 300 Gaming Laptop | 12th Gen Intel i7-12700H | GeForce RTX 3060 GPU | 17.3 Full HD 144Hz 3ms IPS Display | 16GB DDR5 | 512GB Gen 4 SSD | Killer Wi-Fi 6E | PH317-56-70XJ

Pro: Great screen, NVME drive, good graphics card and great aesthetics. Easy to take apart to add an SSD or replace parts in. Honestly a good price for the specs.

When I first got this laptop it was everything I could have hoped for, the picture is beautiful, it runs games like a dream, and its pretty quiet. Now that Ive owned it for a couple years I can safely say it is a piece of junk.

The fan is not working now, and of course warranty and support expired in June. No computer Ive owned has had a problem like that so soon. Overall Ive been disappointed with this computer. It uses more power than most laptops. I travel and live off-grid most of the time. I attempted to get a 12v charge cord so i wouldnt need to run it through my inverter but wasnt able to find one. So that was my first disappointment.

I bought it three months ago, it works great and very fast. the video card for this lab is so good for rendering, I bought 2TB SDD card and easy to install, I installed by myself with no problem. need to watch videos on Youtube to install if you a beginner so you do not break something. I give it 5 stars b/c it deserves it.

My teenage son is a big gamer and was constantly complaining about graphics quality, lag and disconnects with the previous system. This computer works great with none of those problems on these performance hungry games. It is a perfect size, light and portable and the killernetworks feature really helps online gaming performance. The graphics are awesome and it is cool looking too. I also wanted a good computer for him to take to college in another year, with plenty of storage and decent portability for its size. We havent has many issues with Windows 10 as with previous PCs so Im crossing my fingers. It has been a happy purchase so far.

Over the time I have had this laptop, I have yet to encounter any issue. The screen shows games and such beautifully, the speakers work wonderfully, and it can collect clear audio when need be. All in all, it is a great laptop.

This was purshased for gaming & other heavy cpu/gpu usage (video editing)

Performs well, and not terribly loud. Marginal gains from overclocking at the expense of a dramatic increase in noise. Display is not quite as bright as I would like for a room with lots of natural light but the refresh rate is a plus. RAM and M.2 expansion is painless, however 2.5 SSD expansion is effectively impossible without finding the proper cable. After calling Acer, they pointed me to a third party that produces the proper cable. Too difficult to navigate their web page so I gave up. I have been through two cables from amazon, and they did not work.

Everything I used was perfect. So why 3 stars? I used it and worked OK. When I needed to unplug it once, and travel, in less than 90 min I had to look for a plug.

Excellent.. better than expected.. very powerful machine.. happy and satisfied!!
