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

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

I just received my package and wanted to immediately upgrade the hard drive. Much to my utter shock, the most important piece of the laptop was missing, the hard drive. It was just empty there, nada. I have called the customer support for help and they have transferred my claim to another department, so I will have to wait 2-3 business days for that call. It sounds pretty crazy but this is where I am right now. I paid this much money to have such an important piece of hardware missing.

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.

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

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.

Average laptop, everything feels a little cheap on it, screen quality is alright, wifi strength is kinda weak compared

First ever gaming laptop, and very pleased on its performance

It keeps disconnecting from Wifi and i work from home and that really annoying.

This thing has juice, runs most games on either ultra, or high settings. I think it ran noisy when I got it, but just down load the nvidia setting, and turn on the quite setting, and life is good. Sometimes I use the turbo button but its loud, use headphones with it. So anyways a great machine.......I need to drop my stars sorry. The GPU crashes about 2 minutes into any game now. I loved this laptop. I had it 2 years. So I need advice against it.

Ive had this computer for almost 4 years now, it works as great as ever. I dont know much about computers really, but, its still quite fast for a little laptop and works great! It is OK for gaming, a good first gaming or casual gaming computer, but you are at a disadvantage without the builds that other people have. it has virtually no battery life whatsoever, so dont plan on using this without a charger because it will die in under an hour. Other than that, I seriously love this thing, it was totally worth it. It is very portable, and honestly, there are chargers everywhere nowadays so the battery life is really not a big deal and never really bothered me.
