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 has been the perfect solution for my 15 year old as a gaming laptop. The screen is crisp and it is a great entry level gaming machine. It plays everything on Steam, which is where he plays most of his games. Ive had it for over a year now and wanted to wait on the review. It is still running strong. Im very happy with it.

Amazing. Its super fast, I can turn in on and be in a game within 3 minutes. The battery doesnt last long on its own but that doesnt bother me

I bought this for one of my younger sisters a few months ago and shes loved it so far. It runs the games she wants and she can use it for coding, for her schoolwork, and other general usage too. Weve placed games against each other online and this is definitely quieter than my Alienware (Alien v. Predator--I couldnt help myself when looking for a laptop for her and saw that this one was good). That said, my alien has two power intakes for more intense gaming and its noticeable if Im doing a lot, so it has the advantage there.

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.

I recently got one as a gift and it’s great and all but the screen is not 144hz. Will be returning it.

I bought this laptop because the one I had for school finally started to give out, so I thought I might as well go all-out and get a computer I could also use for gaming. Im brand new to PC gaming, so for anyone who is buying this as a way to ease yourself into it, but also needs it for practical purposes I hope this helps. It runs games at at a really high FPS and the screen quality is pretty good at 144hz. However, it is extremely loud and theres not really a way to fix that if you want to use it for work or school. I also received it with a broken frame amd had to return it.

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!

Great for the money.

Amazing laptop

I have this laptop for a year now. (Bought it in July 2020) I first got it, it was great. After 2 months, I start to heard fan noise. I open it up, but there hardly any dust. So I clean the fan and put everything back. Then it was good for 2 weeks. After that, it start making the fan noise again. So, I open it up and check the metal fan( it was the one making all the noise). There were no dust or anything that can cause it to make that loud noise. I do some research on why its making that noise. It said if you clean it already and it still making that noise from time to time, then replace that fan. The metal fan(which is the Aeroblade 3D) will make the noise when starting up, but it stop making it after 15 or 20 minutes later. Its been going on like this for a while now.
