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

From opening and closing the laptop various times the wire for the video camera fails if you don’t have it at a certain viewing angle. I didn’t do my research properly but the video camera wire is notorious for failing in this particular modal.

I took the best care of my laptop, making sure that it was always secure, never dropped, not even scratched, and I only downloaded software that was from verified corporations such as Steam. After only running this computer for 7 days and over-clocking it when it was tanking on frames, the computer would just freak out and shut down permanently. If you try to turn it back on, it simply just restarts over and over again within a 1-3 second time-frame without giving you any chance at all to change anything or modify it. I can assure you that I didnt leave this laptop on for long periods of time, and at most gamed for 6 hours in one day. This has happened to me on multiple occasions and now I have to get the laptop fixed because it wont even start up anymore. Please if youre looking for a good computer, I beg you not to buy this version. Its horrible and it tanks to run good games like COD B03 Zombies. I suggest buying the $1450 version of this computer, as it has a better graphics card, more RAM, and just overall a better computer. Do not waste your money on this, because I promise you its an extremely mid-tier computer that will tank to run a lot of good games. If youre looking only to run games like L4D2 and other low-graphics games like that, then I can assure you that this computer is for you. Other than that, I highly advise you get an upgrade because itll save you from wasting your money. I hope this helped, and let me know if other buyers have encountered the same issue.

This is a great computer. It comes loaded with Killer. Crazy fast. It came packaged correctly so that it was not damaged. I have had trouble with this in the past when ordering electronics online. Believe the reviews and the hype.

Ive had this for a couple months now and love it! Picture is amazing, I can run most games at lightning fast fps on high or max settings. League of Legends, Tabletop Simulator, Subnautica, Civilization, all look amazing.

Average laptop, everything feels a little cheap on it, screen quality is alright, wifi strength is kinda weak compared

Amazing computer for the price.

GAMING:

I read a bunch of solid reviews on this laptop, and watched many YouTube videos on it as well. I was very excited upon receiving this laptop. Obviously this is only my opinion, and Im sure this is a great laptop. But my experience of it was horrible. Keep in mind I did not mistreat it at all, and this all happened on the day I received it.

--DO NOT BUY THIS FOR $1250

I was so excited to get my PREDATOR. I grabbed the Amazon box, opened it up and viewed my first bona-fide game system of this kind. Like a kid in a candy store, I could not get to my new experience fast enough. After opening up my holy grail of gaming systems, charging her up and hitting the on button....... I waited....... And Waited....... And waited....... Finally, she fired up and came to life. It was like having a lightning bolt rain down on you, yet, land gently in your lap. It was intoxicating for about five seconds. Thats when it turned off and never started back up. I called The Predator Premium Service line to ask how this could have happened and what to do next. Sadly, ACER told me, um, Id call AMAZON, they can help you better then we can at this point. HOLY SMOKES PEOPLE. I just needed a little PREDATOR love. Finally, I called AMAZON and was helped in the way that only AMAZON can help. Well see what happens with round two.
