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

I have had many computers in my life... custom and store-bought. This one has been pretty good so far. Handles everything I need professionally and everything I want for fun. As a gamer and designer, this gets it done.

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

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

Ive had the computer for a couple of weeks now and Ive started to get advertisements popping up in my notification center. If you want to push ads on me you had better give me something for free. - 1 star

Great for the money.

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.

Pro: Great screen, NVME drive, good graphics card and great aesthetics. Easy to take apart to add an SSD or replace parts in. Honestly a good price for the specs.

I Had a little issue with the killer wifi being installed, so I had to delete all the wifi drivers and reset then connect to and LAN redownload and it has worked great. Also, in order to get the RGB keyboard instead of just the blue when it first turns on need to go into the predator software and go to lighting and Walla.

Great screen size, great speed, works for RTS gaming. Awkward speaker placement. Overall, great purchase. Norton pop-ups are relentless and annoying.

For the price its perfect. For gaming it will literally run everything. I played cyberpunk ultra at 60fps but also 60fps at medium, I think cyberpunk needs to be optimized. No it cant do ray tracing well, the fps will plummet, if youre okay sub 60fps then go for it. Once you go 144hz you cant go back. The battery obiously not meant for gaming on the go, even if it is a laptop. BUT people have complained about the fans and yes it is loud asf. If you wanna use it for school or basic stuff you can go into battery mode, go into control panel -> hardware and sound -> power options -> change plan settings -> advanced power settings -> configure intel thermal whatever tf -> lower it to 35 -> and PCI express max power savings -> processor power management -> decrease cpu speed before increasing fan. That way it will be quiet while you do non-power needing things like word or take notes at school. Otherwise it will be loud and you will feel awkward during lecture while your laptop reves up sounding like a leafblower
