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

Ive had this computer for almost 4 years now, it works as great as ever. I dont know much about computers really, but, its still quite fast for a little laptop and works great! It is OK for gaming, a good first gaming or casual gaming computer, but you are at a disadvantage without the builds that other people have. it has virtually no battery life whatsoever, so dont plan on using this without a charger because it will die in under an hour. Other than that, I seriously love this thing, it was totally worth it. It is very portable, and honestly, there are chargers everywhere nowadays so the battery life is really not a big deal and never really bothered me.

Very good laptop for the money. I’m enjoying it

Oh wow does it get hot. Like, so hot you cant even touch the keyboard. Not only that but the cpu basically cooks itself, 92°C on a basic game. Its so bad I tried returning it but got no help at all, so...

I was impressed before I even turn it on for the first time. Boots up fast. The WiFi is super awesome. I was downloading games from steam at amazing speeds. Screen is crystal clear. The graphics card works great. Max settings for GTA V and there was breathing room on the video memory. I will be happy with this for a good long time.

Purchased in December of 2020 just stopped working took it to be repaired. Found out the motherboard went and they do not recommend repairing because its an issue with this model. Waste of money

They dont make things like they used to is the old adage that applies well to the Acer Predator Helios. My previous laptop (a Dell) was well built by comparison. There were no hardware issues for years. Then I bought the Predator Helios. To be sure, its fast and colorful - but its cheaply built. Within a few months the keyboard key symbols started to scratch off. Now the right fan buzzes and needs to be replaced. Sure, I could send it off to the Acer support center for repair, but I only have one computer, this laptop - I just need to live with it and watch this thing rapidly fall apart, unfortunately.

Amazing laptop

Love, love, love! Im not using it for gaming. Just wanted something with more power. Its so quiet, you dont know its running! Its so fast, I couldnt believe it. Love the light up keyboard and everyone about this laptop. Couldnt be happier!

We would have given this laptop five stars however it requires the addition of a card upgrade. This upgrade requires the general layperson doesn’t have the anti static strap or equipment to install it. We had to get someone with that equipment to perform the change. Should have been installed before the customer received it in my opinion. Other than that, we love it. Would purchase again.

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.
