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

Awesome gaming laptop. Superb cooling system for optimal gaming performance. Lightning speed overrall, including bootup.

I love this laptop. Its great right out the box plays bfV at 120fps average maybe a little higher. Great value got it on sale. The screen is really bright and vivid.

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.

The value of this laptop cant be understated. There are no real weaknesses here. The only notable problems people may have with it are the fan noise while gaming and the lack of silent fan operation when not gaming. You wont notice the idle whirl of fans unless you are in a completely silent room with no music or headphones in play.

So far it’s worked pretty well for the last 2 days in regards to drafting in AutoCAD’s Civil3D 2020. I don’t game at all but after a couple recommendations by others who have used similar gaming laptops with a hexa core intel i7 processorS, 16GB or more of RAM & NVIDIA GTX 1660 series card I figured I would give it a try. 15.6” screen is a little smaller for drafting which a cheaper wireless mouse. Fans kick up speed occasionally when I’ve built a DEM surface with a lot of definition. But definitely a nice machine so far for AutoCAD Civil 3D usage. Should something change in my experience I’ll update later

500GB hd inadequate. Needed turbo mode to do VR, its just enough, but not enough to play games. Over priced at the time I bought it for what its made of. Ot enough memory, storage or processing. Its an easy pass, but heck its been almost 2 years,, it wasnt enough then, so why make the review? Moores law..should have been good enough..bottom line its just Amazons skewed ratings

Okay laptop but completely brined out after 2 years

Im very pleased with this laptop! It runs very smooth and the screen looks great. The battery life isnt the best though; typically it lasts a few hours before giving me the battery low notification. The fans when the laptop is cooling down are much quiter than I expected them to be. Overall, its working great!

This has been a really great laptop, no issues with it, it runs top tier games at full graphics quality without a hitch and with other programs running in the background. The one tiny problem I did have was with the printing wearing away on a single key on the keyboard, and I contacted Acer support and asked them to send me a new keyboard and they did! Also in case youve had horror experiences with the battery replacement process on other gaming laptops, I checked before I bought this one and the battery is really easy to replace. The keyboard is designed in a way that I think will keep small particles from getting stuck under them, and the keys are easy to replace if you have the same problem I did with the printing wearing off. Its also really nice to have a keyboard with a full numpad on a laptop.

It looks good. I mainly bought it in order to edit/ create 3d graphics for film. I guess I was so caught up in the appearance that I forgot to read the fine detail. I did not realize it does not come with a 3D Blu Ray or HD Blu Ray drive. So, it makes it impossible to burn 3D elements on to a Blu Ray DVD. So, I am searching for a laptop that has more than the capability to view 3D elements via streaming only.
