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

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

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.

Great machine, thank you!

For what it is, this laptop is a pretty good and relatively cheap gaming laptop. However, I have had my laptop repaired once and die twice in the span of 3 months.

been trying for two weeks to get help for the mouse pad not working and they keep giving me a run-around that their server is down and that I need to call back.

I am a grad student and casual gamer. When I get to play its for like 4 hours a couple times a week. This computer doesnt overheat or start glitching out. Tested it on vacation with a nearly 10 hour gaming session and the charge cord battery barely got warm. Super worth the money. This computer came with great features I didnt know I needed until grad school assignments surprised me. Very impressed. Would highly recommend this computer.

Pro: Great screen, NVME drive, good graphics card and great aesthetics. Easy to take apart to add an SSD or replace parts in. Honestly a good price for the specs.

this one wont cheat on me like my ex

This is everything you could want and more. No lag time, never have to worry about battery life, sound quality, it is so fast!
