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

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

This laptop is a fantastic budget gaming laptop. The SSD boots right up very quick load times, the GTX card is very capable for almost all gaming needs. I have been playing COD Warzone and it runs extremely smooth, the fans do get loud and after a while they REALLY start pushing hot air out the side to where you can feel it on your mouse hand if youre close enough, I think this is a good indicator of how well its cooling. The one issue that lots of reviewers mentioned and its very true, is that the battery life is abysmal, I can play COD for about an hour unplugged, even just sitting there on the homescreen it will only last maybe 3 hours. i get it with all these powerful features it does use a lot of power, but if you think youll have enough battery for a 4 hour flight this isnt it. BUT with how incredibly well it runs my games, i can forgive it i still give it 5 stars even with the terrible battery life because this is clearly a gaming laptop and it doesnt pretend to be anything else. The custom LED lighting for the keyboard is pretty slick, you can give it different light profiles for different games. The monitor is really impressive for a laptop, even high movement gaming looks fantastic with no perceptible lag. The wireless card is very fast i get about 85-90% wired speeds even with a few walls between the router. Overall im very impressed and I absolutely recommend this laptop for anyone looking for a great gaming rig. Also, its upgradable, it comes with a hard drive expansion kit, and everything can be taken out and upgraded for future proofing.

I took my laptop to a repair shop about a week ago and come to find out my laptop was installed with a bad GPU cooling fan. In which the part cost about $170 on a brand new laptop. Needless to say, I will NEVER be buying a product from Predator again so many better deals on computers.

This laptop has done everything I have asked it to do!(CoD, Apex, Valorant, GuildWars2) Turbo is LOUD but I overclock and have good ventilation and a fan stan I almost never hear my fans, but its nice to know if they need to go max THEY WILL!

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

Ive had this laptop for a week now, and while there is much to like, there is also a few things that make me wish I had bought a different machine.

Save your money and buy a better product. Highly disappointed in the product.

After sending back my other computer (an Acer) I paid the extra 100$ and got this guy for gaming. After 30 minutes of updates....It blew my mind how awesome this machine is. The keyboard lighting is fully customizable. It has overclock setting built in so you do not have to crash your computer a bunch of times to get it right. I play all my games on Ultra and it is 100fps+. I am so glad I went with the Predator and will be staying with this from now on. Also, I will be installing a 1tb SSD in the empty slot to add more space. Cant say enough good things about how light, stylish and out of the box ready for gaming it is!

Noticable Screen back light .Battery life is very poor 1 hour for light use 35 min for gaming if you use without plug in. Other than that its a perfect machine for the price.

Needs to be plugged in to run any game with decent quality. Once it is plugged in, the laptop usually will overheat and shut down and restart. This problem even persists WITH the use of external fans. Unfortunately it is impossible to play anything without your device being plugged in or it will drain the battery completely in less than an hour. I was really excited for this laptop and apparently even my 1 year warranty cannot help me out with this issue. The sad truth is to enjoy anything fun you need to waste your money on problems that shouldnt exist in my opinion. It was a good laptop for a little under a year though. What prompted my review is it overheating on me 3 times within a span of 40 minutes. Im very disappointed in myself for not researching further before choosing this device.
