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

After a month of waiting my laptop finally came! I was so excited! While trying to get everything booted up the screen would continually go to black. Thinking this was a fluke I continued, but I was wrong. After finally getting all of my preferences set the computer would continually go to sleep. It’s easy enough to wake up. You press a button and then enter your pin. But it just keeps going to sleep on me. Sometimes after 10 minutes of use. Sometimes after five seconds of use. It’s basically unusable in the state. I had to call customer service several times to get a hold of someone who could speak clearly enough to help me and even they suggested to just get a refund directly from Amazon.

Muy buen producto, funciona perfecto

I upgraded from having an Asus flip book from 2014 to this. I am very pleased with it so far. I play the Sims 4 with all expansion/game/stuff packs including mods and cc. No lag. Game starts up instantly, move worlds instantly. The screen quality is pretty nice.

Ive had this laptop about 5 months now and i use it about 7-8 hrs only once a week on my day off.. So it only has a little over 100 hrs of gameplay and now it feezes just about every time i play my game... Not cool for a 1300$ laptop and im not tech savy so i dont know how to fix.. I honeslty cant recommend it for any heavy or moderate gamer

While this laptop does have a nice design and decent screen with 144hz refresh rate, my experience with this laptop has been plagued with power issues that required my computer to go back to Acer for now a 2nd time for the same exact issue. On top of that, Acer customer support is not easy to access or particularly helpful until you get higher level managers involved. For a laptop that costs such a premium price, I would expect a much higher quality product and that simply has not been the case. Very disappointed in Acer this time around.

This beats the heck out of my old laptop that I have for 6 years however the screen is a bit smaller but I will use my hdmi cord to hook it up to my 4k tv so I am all good now

--DO NOT BUY THIS FOR $1250

It is my first laptop I ever purchased and I am impressed. I do music recordings and play videogames and all works well.

Purchased September 2020. The graphics card would crash and force a restarts. Stopped powering on via battery or power cable May 2021. Sent it back for repairs and when it returned the sound card doesn’t work and now windows will not boot.

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
