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

This computer has had no issues running any games, been playing the new call of duty at about 80-90 fps without changing any graphics settings. Also have been using the computer for a ton of school work and havent noticed any issues. If it wasnt for the computer getting hot really easily (Its about 80 degrees when gaming), and being super loud with its fans, then I would give this computer 5 stars. The battery life is horrendous only about 3 hours, but I am always near a plug so it doesnt bother me. The only thing that I dont know why it occurs and it could be my internet, but every now and then videos/spotify wont work and I have to restart the computer. Again not big issues and things that dont bother me, but it could bother others.

Pros:

This laptop was used in one place - never transported and knocked about. The LED light in the screen stopped working after less than 2 years. If you plug the computer into another monitor you can see that it is working but really not impressed with the lifecycle of this model. I wish I noticed they were going from a 2 to 1 year warranty before I made my purchase!

Very good laptop for the money. I’m enjoying it

My 4 year old Digital Storms fans went dead. I was faced with the choice of fixing the fans or getting a replacement for a system that was long in the tooth. When I saw this laptop with a much better video card than that in the old system I decided to see if it would work as a replacement. All my data were on external hard drives. I plugged them into the USB 3 ports. I used a USB hub to connect keyboard and mouse. My monitor was connected via the HDMI connector. External speakers were attached via the headphone plug. I plugged my internet router to the Ethernet port using an extender. My internet speeds were the same with the extender as they were before I used it.

I would say it’s acceptable game lap for this price.

Muy buen producto, funciona perfecto

Everything I used was perfect. So why 3 stars? I used it and worked OK. When I needed to unplug it once, and travel, in less than 90 min I had to look for a plug.

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.

Got this for my family to use; the kids for gaming and for video editing. It is amazing! It is fast at everything and runs every game and flies threw heavy editing. Its bulky and the battery life is just okay, but I wanted performance, not sleekness. Its actually really cool looking and both the keyboard and touchpad are great. Would definitely recommend.
