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 got this computer one year ago for christmas, its been amazing except for two giant flaws. The battery life is terrible, it wont last an hour just using google chrome, no games in the backround no nothing. The other major flaw is that it overheats a lot just playing fortnite cod or even sometimes just minecraft the cpu will get to 100 degrees celsius its crazy the computer will get so hot it will hurt to the touch. This is not very important but the speakers are pretty quiet. On the other hand the picture is great, games run really smoothly the graphics card is great it works really well. Except for the battery and the computer battery.

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

Within a few minutes of starting a game the laptop freezes and has to be manually restarted. Happens multiple times before I can actually play a game.

This Acer laptop worked great for about a year of light use. Sometimes I would only use it to play some games once per week. Right after my one year warranty expired, the screen just stopped working. It stays black even when the laptop powers on. I called Acer about this issue and they wanted me to pay to ship it to them for repairs because the warranty expired. A $1,200 laptop should last longer than a year. Im very disappointed.

It is really great for gaming and the screen display is just unreal! My cpu never gets over 85c and with the turbo mode on it stays around 65c. It runs games like squad, escape from tarkov, insurgency sandstorm very well

Great for the money.

I might not be much of a gamer, but this is good for practical necessities. Otherwise, the games run much smoothly and I look forward to see progress I can make with this as a content creator, and comedian.

It is very good in terms of performance. However, I do want a better battery life so traded it in for a Razer Blade.

I have had this laptop since july22 since the day I got it I have kept it on a 4 inch high cooling rack with all external peripheral monitor mouse etc. Well the fan quit working in the back and now have to wait 20+ days for a fix this is crazy and I cant just get a refund it has to be fixed this computer was my job so now Im out of work thanks acer

EDIT: This laptop gets WAY TOO HOT. I actually no longer recommend purchasing it. It is very capable and can do almost anything, but the cooling system is entirely insufficient. I consistently get temps of 80-90 degrees Celsius playing WoW Classic with nothing else in the background but Spotify. That game is a hundred years old and should not be taxing on the system, even at max graphics. Very concerned and disappointed about the investment Ive made.
