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 bought this to replace my Dell XPS and I love it. Its so fast and I dont have any 100% disk usage problems that plagued me for years despite tons of troubleshooting. Im a moderate PC gamer but I also use Adobe CC a lot and this computer handles everything. Ill have multiple Adobe apps open and this thing runs with no issues. I spent so much time trying to choose between a surface device, a Lenovo legion, or an hp zbook. Im so glad I saved myself the money and went with this laptop, it does everything I need and more!

Bang for buck, great quality. Absolutly love it and it has lasted me two years now.

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.

Best gaming laptop. nice processor Intel Core I7-9750H.

Thanks

Everything points to this laptop being a great deal, and quite powerful for gaming overall. However, right out of the box, and after charging for 24 hours as recommended, the laptop turns on but the screen remains blank.

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

GAMING:

Bought one and 4 days after receiving it, it looked like first 2 pics upon booting. Replaced it and the last 2 pics are what the replacement looked like after a few days as well. It would not happen every time, but it would have that white line around the edge for maybe 30 min and would fade back to normal. More recently, the replacement wont turn on immediately after hitting power button. The screen stays black and no response for 15 minutes or so. I wanted to give it one more chance, because I havent read about this happening to anyone else and I received these two laptops right before Amazon went out of stock, so I thought maybe I just got bad ones at the end but, unfortunately, Amazon can only provide a refund and are still out of stock.

At first I was not a fan of this laptop but actually it’s much better then I thought it would be. The fan is loud and some describe it as “a jet engine taking off” but it keeps the system cool so that is all that counts in reality. The keyboard does change colors if you find the setting in the Predator Sense under lighting. There is some light leakage to the screen but nothing that harms game play or anything. It’s worth it at the price that I got the system.
