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 guess its time to do the review: am loving this laptop everything about it is great the screen i got two bleeding spots but its not noticeable the build quality is fantastic its gaming like a beast

I absolutely love this laptop but I has one problem that is nearly a deal breaker. The screen has these green zones where the plastic bezel is putting a small amount of pressure on the screen because of a wire or something I assume. Its not noticeable during normal use, but when you have a dark scene in a game or movie, you can really tell.

This little laptop is a Beast.. actually, a “Predator.” Out of the box it is ready to go. 16 GB Ram in Dual Channel, the 1660ti is far more powerful than I thought it would be. The backlit keyboard does indeed have four zones to control the color... I prefer the wave pattern.

I recently got one as a gift and it’s great and all but the screen is not 144hz. Will be returning it.

Just amazingly fast with great display. Battery is just ok like many other laptops. Hope next release in 2021 will add couple more hours to the battery life.

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.

One month after purchase, all 3 standard USB 3.0 ports started having issues. Devices plugged into the ports will disconnect unless the cord was oriented properly and precisely (possibly a lose connection?). Ive tried disabling USB selective settings, checking the drivers, and even physically trying to tighten the USB ports by pulling the USB port clamps up with a screwdriver. None of it seemed to have an effect.

This laptop can do everything. Its only only for gaming. I use it a lot for video editing. though I upgraded the RAM to 16mb. This laptop is a beast. I LOVE it. If you are looking for a great laptop, look no further.... go for Acer Predator Helios 300. Thank you....

Pros:

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.
