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

It looks good. I mainly bought it in order to edit/ create 3d graphics for film. I guess I was so caught up in the appearance that I forgot to read the fine detail. I did not realize it does not come with a 3D Blu Ray or HD Blu Ray drive. So, it makes it impossible to burn 3D elements on to a Blu Ray DVD. So, I am searching for a laptop that has more than the capability to view 3D elements via streaming only.

Big waste of money.

I got this computer one year ago for christmas, its been amazing except for two giant flaws. The battery life is terrible, it wont last an hour just using google chrome, no games in the backround no nothing. The other major flaw is that it overheats a lot just playing fortnite cod or even sometimes just minecraft the cpu will get to 100 degrees celsius its crazy the computer will get so hot it will hurt to the touch. This is not very important but the speakers are pretty quiet. On the other hand the picture is great, games run really smoothly the graphics card is great it works really well. Except for the battery and the computer battery.

Over the time I have had this laptop, I have yet to encounter any issue. The screen shows games and such beautifully, the speakers work wonderfully, and it can collect clear audio when need be. All in all, it is a great laptop.

I’m not an avid gamer but I needed something with a little more ‘umph’, I work with multiple photoshop programs as well as 3D sculpting programs and with this computer I can run multiple programs with ease and the WiFi works better than my iPhone when I go outside in the back of the house. I’ve had this for a while now and I haven’t had any issues at all - for now. Very happy with my purchase

From opening and closing the laptop various times the wire for the video camera fails if you don’t have it at a certain viewing angle. I didn’t do my research properly but the video camera wire is notorious for failing in this particular modal.

As soon as I unboxed it got a good hour of screen time then kapoof it goes dead. Acer products always do this

I’ve been looking for an affordable gaming laptop and this is what the most people suggested, so far i like the performance of the laptop, but i already expected the battery, i know it’s more faster compared to other laptops, but since it uses alot of battery because of the good specs and power and all. but overall i am satisfied

This is a great laptop, I first ordered an ASUS Tuf and returned it due to it not starting up. After further research, I decided to spend the extra few hundred dollars on this laptop. Out of the box, downloaded games such as Call of Duty, Fortnite, Overwatch and Rainbow Six Siege and all work excellent. I bought a hard wire for the internet thinking I would need it to prevent lag for gaming, but have not once needed to connect the cable and the cable is still in its box....................ONE THING: I do want to point out is that this laptop will get HOT fast for gaming. It does have the turbo fan, which is much needed, and the turbo helps cool down the laptop, but the turbo feature is loud. I just recently ordered a fan pad and still waiting for that to come in. The only suggestion is if you order this laptop (GREAT LAPTOP AND FAST) I would suggest ordering a cooling pad also. This way you can have it cooled down maybe more quietly without having to run the Turbo fan on the laptop. I have no regrets ordering this laptop. VERY, VERY PLEASED with its performance and would recommend to anyone looking to game. I bought the 512Gb for the extra space. I hope this laptop lasts me a while cause it is AWESOME!!!

Been handling beautifully, but the battery is disappointing - not only does it die quickly, it sometimes doesnt warn me when it is low.
