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 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.

I bought this to replace a 7 year old Linux gaming computer (dual-boot, multi-drive) with a corroded power supply, expecting to install a couple extra hard drives, while still playing a few games on the original Windows drive it shipped with. After a little research, it looked like I wouldnt have a lot of trouble installing drivers for the hardware that comes with this model, and the price was reasonably low compared with System76, so I went ahead and ordered it.

I recently got one as a gift and it’s great and all but the screen is not 144hz. Will be returning it.

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

I have never had a gaming laptop, but this is extremely fast. I do a lot of data analysis and this is easily twice as fast as my previous laptop. I also play some games and this laptop handles them well. I even notice a major improvement while using something as simple as microsoft word. This is a great laptop and for the $1200 it cost me, it seems worth it so far. I will update if there are ANY problems.

I got this refurbished -- it still had someones account on it. Not a big deal, just wiped it... but thats not what you want to see when you pay ~$1500 for a laptop. Leaves you with thoughts of malicious programs waiting to grab your personal information.

I bought this to get my son to study more, even though I don’t allow his computer games most of the time. It worked. He takes pride in his online classes. And he has game nights on Fridays, too.

I received the laptop a couple weeks ago, and so far its great! Im relatively familiar with computers but by no means a whiz, and Im a moderate to heavy gamer.

I would say it’s acceptable game lap for this price.
