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 bought this laptop in July 2020 and everything ok, very fast I even added an additional solid hard drive, but it turns out that in November I left the laptop disconnected since I was going on vacation and on my return (8 days later) I tried to turn it on but it would not turn on, I assumed that the battery had been completely discharged, however when the charge was completed it did not turn on again, I contacted Acer Support and they generated an order to take it to a technical service center, it turns out that the main board had failed and it requires change. Now I will have to wait 3 WEEKS! for the spare part since I have the laptop in Peru. Thanks Acer because I wont be able to use my laptop until after the holidays, until 2021.

EDIT: This laptop gets WAY TOO HOT. I actually no longer recommend purchasing it. It is very capable and can do almost anything, but the cooling system is entirely insufficient. I consistently get temps of 80-90 degrees Celsius playing WoW Classic with nothing else in the background but Spotify. That game is a hundred years old and should not be taxing on the system, even at max graphics. Very concerned and disappointed about the investment Ive made.

Unfortunately after only 8 shorts months this laptop died. took it to a computer repair place and they said the mother board had a short and it needed to be replaced however after 6 weeks they had zero success finding a new or refurbished mother board, So Im taking my still broken computer home. I looked on several forums where loads of buyers had the same issue. This is way too much money to be spending to only get 8 months out of a laptop.

You cant go wrong with this one. Pretty good battery life for a gaming laptop. Over the top performance. Nice screen quality. The 144 hz panel is amazing. Its a bang for your buck!

500GB hd inadequate. Needed turbo mode to do VR, its just enough, but not enough to play games. Over priced at the time I bought it for what its made of. Ot enough memory, storage or processing. Its an easy pass, but heck its been almost 2 years,, it wasnt enough then, so why make the review? Moores law..should have been good enough..bottom line its just Amazons skewed ratings

Best computer I’ve ever owned

Ive had this laptop about 5 months now and i use it about 7-8 hrs only once a week on my day off.. So it only has a little over 100 hrs of gameplay and now it feezes just about every time i play my game... Not cool for a 1300$ laptop and im not tech savy so i dont know how to fix.. I honeslty cant recommend it for any heavy or moderate gamer

The first unit I received had a W key that would jam every time you pressed it. My replacement model had the worst backlight screen bleed I have ever seen on any IPS display. I just cant recommend a product when I am sent two lemons back to back.

Love! My games look great on here and I love how silent the keyboard is. I only just got it in today so I will be doing an update after a few weeks! So far definitely would recommend!!

Despite the shining review score, this is not an ideal laptop for gaming, primarily because of the overheating. Even when paired with a cooling platform, it still overheats with games that really shouldnt be overdemanding to this gaming laptop. I dont know what the deal is since google delivers a million fixes for overheating, most of which make no sense. The games Ive played that overheat this machine include Raft, Terraria, Elder Scrolls Online, and Baldurs Gate 3. My second charger just died as a result of this (same as the original) - $50 down the drain, and another $50 for a third now. Whats the point of buying a $1200 gaming laptop if you cant play games on it?
