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 bought this to replace my Dell XPS and I love it. Its so fast and I dont have any 100% disk usage problems that plagued me for years despite tons of troubleshooting. Im a moderate PC gamer but I also use Adobe CC a lot and this computer handles everything. Ill have multiple Adobe apps open and this thing runs with no issues. I spent so much time trying to choose between a surface device, a Lenovo legion, or an hp zbook. Im so glad I saved myself the money and went with this laptop, it does everything I need and more!

First ever gaming laptop, and very pleased on its performance

EDIT 2/14/23: Still going strong today. I wonder if anyone is still looking at reviews for this? Regardless, I think I would happily buy a Helios again based on my experience with this one.

Pretty decent. Only REALLY bad thing about this is the speakers. It has horrible audio, like even on full blast you can hardly hear a peep. But that is ok

this one wont cheat on me like my ex

This was purshased for gaming & other heavy cpu/gpu usage (video editing)

When it works its a pretty good gaming laptop, has a good battery life, runs games well and has beautiful picture. Problem is after a year its practically useless. I bought it in August of last year and now 1 week after the 1 year warranty expired the screen goes black and displays nothing, so if you do buy it at least be sure to get the extended warranty because it will stop functioning. Honestly itd be a much better option to sacrifice some of the performance for durability because 1 year of use is pretty pathetic.

I took the best care of my laptop, making sure that it was always secure, never dropped, not even scratched, and I only downloaded software that was from verified corporations such as Steam. After only running this computer for 7 days and over-clocking it when it was tanking on frames, the computer would just freak out and shut down permanently. If you try to turn it back on, it simply just restarts over and over again within a 1-3 second time-frame without giving you any chance at all to change anything or modify it. I can assure you that I didnt leave this laptop on for long periods of time, and at most gamed for 6 hours in one day. This has happened to me on multiple occasions and now I have to get the laptop fixed because it wont even start up anymore. Please if youre looking for a good computer, I beg you not to buy this version. Its horrible and it tanks to run good games like COD B03 Zombies. I suggest buying the $1450 version of this computer, as it has a better graphics card, more RAM, and just overall a better computer. Do not waste your money on this, because I promise you its an extremely mid-tier computer that will tank to run a lot of good games. If youre looking only to run games like L4D2 and other low-graphics games like that, then I can assure you that this computer is for you. Other than that, I highly advise you get an upgrade because itll save you from wasting your money. I hope this helped, and let me know if other buyers have encountered the same issue.

i guess its time to do the review: am loving this laptop everything about it is great the screen i got two bleeding spots but its not noticeable the build quality is fantastic its gaming like a beast

Bang for buck, great quality. Absolutly love it and it has lasted me two years now.
