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

I had my old gaming laptop stolen and it was so expensive that I just didnt get a new one for a long while. I saw this one on special one weekend, so I just bit the bullet and grabbed it came very quickly and it is wayyy faster than my other laptop that was almost 5X the cost. after I loaded all of my games and work programs (I use a ton of programs for many companies) it still boots up in 3 seconds and the wireless internet is way faster. and the turbo mode button is nutsss. Anyway. Great buy.

The computer works amazing for everything I use it for - running my works virtual desktop, streaming on discord, playing in roll20, running casual games like stardew valley and the sims 4. However, the fans are ridiculously loud, even when the computer is idling. I read in reviews that this unit has loud fans, and I thought, how loud could they really be? They are ASTOUNDINGLY loud, it will make you reevaluate your previously held notions of loudness. Any time its on, even if youre just looking at it from across the room and not asking anything of it, It sounds like an ancient desktop tower that has been baking in the sun for hours and is on its last breath from a lifetime of mining bitcoins.

I bought to use with oculus quest works great both usb-c and USB-a ports work for it

This laptop can do everything. Its only only for gaming. I use it a lot for video editing. though I upgraded the RAM to 16mb. This laptop is a beast. I LOVE it. If you are looking for a great laptop, look no further.... go for Acer Predator Helios 300. Thank you....

This has been the perfect solution for my 15 year old as a gaming laptop. The screen is crisp and it is a great entry level gaming machine. It plays everything on Steam, which is where he plays most of his games. Ive had it for over a year now and wanted to wait on the review. It is still running strong. Im very happy with it.

Compre este producto en Agosto 2020. La primera que me enviaron tuvo problemas con la webcam y micrófono (que se encuentran en la parte superior de la pantalla), al mover la pantalla estos funcionaban/dejaban de funcionar intermitentemente para finalmente con el paso de los días dejar de funcionar por completo.

--DO NOT BUY THIS FOR $1250

I purchased this laptop around April 2020. Within less than a year, the GPU fan started to act up. It would stop spinning and my laptop will start to overheat like crazy. I went to several stores to see whats the issue with the GPU fan, and they told me that I wouldve to replace the fan. Its crazy how a fan is broken in less than a year. I would highly recommend avoiding getting predator helios 300 laptop to avoid future malfunction.

Had this laptop since 2020. Was a great laptop till it started having issues a year in. Unfortunately I was never able to get support with the laptop due to Acer having a database breach. They lost my serial number and thus I cant send it in for repairs. Not only that but this model is no longer listed on their website for support materials since 2023. So now I can no longer download drivers again. This thing has been having more and more issues. The mousepad is no longer functional. At this point I built up a gaming tower but it feels like a waste of money to buy a laptop that cant even last 5 years.

Very smooth hard to bog down!
