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

Pros:

Use it for gaming, university work and programming. This laptop can run triple A titles on the high settings

Ive had this for a couple months now and love it! Picture is amazing, I can run most games at lightning fast fps on high or max settings. League of Legends, Tabletop Simulator, Subnautica, Civilization, all look amazing.

Fans are not as quiet as I thought, but overall a great laptop.

I have now purchased TWO of these laptops and neither worked. Screen flickering when not plugged in to the point its unusable. I have done trouble shooting but this is ridiculous for a computer I havent even gotten to use yet. Constantly logs me out when its not plugging in. Completely unusable. Screen flickers even when plugged in. I have done all the trouble shooting possible and the fact its due to a ERROR IN THE DESIGN due to the ram door is unacceptable for a computer that costs this much. DO NOT BUY. You can do better. Very disappointed.

For what it is, this laptop is a pretty good and relatively cheap gaming laptop. However, I have had my laptop repaired once and die twice in the span of 3 months.

I am a grad student and casual gamer. When I get to play its for like 4 hours a couple times a week. This computer doesnt overheat or start glitching out. Tested it on vacation with a nearly 10 hour gaming session and the charge cord battery barely got warm. Super worth the money. This computer came with great features I didnt know I needed until grad school assignments surprised me. Very impressed. Would highly recommend this computer.

Amazing. Its super fast, I can turn in on and be in a game within 3 minutes. The battery doesnt last long on its own but that doesnt bother me

Bought this for normal use and a little bit of gaming. Overall, its a great laptop that can handle a few tasks at the same time and work as normal. The battery life could be better but its still enough.

I dont know where to start. This last issue, the audio has stopped working. They have customer service reps but they are not always able to help with functionality.
