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

Only had it for a day. Havent done much but set up and install some apps. I will be using this to make videos. And the program seems to run great. I have been using this for about 2 weeks. I have a driver issue and I tried everything to fix but it still isnt fixed. It doesnt seem to be a hinder. After having it for a few weeks, I noticed I have a low battery life. Not a bid deal since I only use it at home, but could be if used somewhere with no plug in available.

I was in love with this laptop before the first blue screen. After some troubleshooting, factory resetting the laptop a few times I was obligated to try something different, a full reinstall from scratch. It did work for a while them blue screens again. I have tested and stressed my laptop and I have no hardware issue. Only problem I’m facing after a full install from scratch is that predator software doesn’t launch. When I try to install it windows says that it has unsigned drivers... even after forcing the install I try to launch it but I only see the splash screen, actual software doesn’t launch. Not a big deal but can’t set the keyboard color scheme without predator sense. Besides those issues the laptop is really nice

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

Any qualms you might have about purchasing this machine, throw them out the window and click add to cart. Thank me later.

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

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.

It is really great for gaming and the screen display is just unreal! My cpu never gets over 85c and with the turbo mode on it stays around 65c. It runs games like squad, escape from tarkov, insurgency sandstorm very well

I bought this to replace my Dell XPS and I love it. Its so fast and I dont have any 100% disk usage problems that plagued me for years despite tons of troubleshooting. Im a moderate PC gamer but I also use Adobe CC a lot and this computer handles everything. Ill have multiple Adobe apps open and this thing runs with no issues. I spent so much time trying to choose between a surface device, a Lenovo legion, or an hp zbook. Im so glad I saved myself the money and went with this laptop, it does everything I need and more!

Where to start, the Acer Helios 300 is probably one of the best laptops that you will ever find for the price. It arguably plays games at the level of a desktop PC. I have built desktops for quite some time and considering I traveling i had sold my current desktop and wanted to make a quick purchase for a laptop that could game , Modern Warfare, Overwatch, pub G and so on.

Very pleased with this laptop in terms of speed, noise level, and features. There is a slight amount of light bleed around the edges of the screen, but I dont use it in a dark room so it really isnt a problem for me. One of the reasons I chose this model was for ease of access for a SSD addition as a secondary drive; very straightforward. (I didnt have to remove the motherboard like some competitors do.)
