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 did a lot of research, watching youtube videos, reading articles, trying to find the best gaming laptop for the $1,000. When I first saw the predator helios 300, I fell in love. I love the blue color and the sleek design of the laptop. I was amazed by the specs. Core i7 processor, GTX 1660ti, 16gb ram, 512gb ssd. I knew that this was the one.

Works great as a gaming computer. The only concern is the price is expensive.

I bought this for my 16 year old son, and he Loves it! He says it great for gaming and for doing his school work. He is very happy so far.

Received this product yesterday, its a GREAT laptop for the price, funs all games Ive thrown at it at max settings and doesnt overheat. Speakers are kind of meh but I hook up a pair of external ones anyway. My one complaint is the laptop I received has the tiniest sliver of dead pixels at the bottom of the screen right along the bezzle (only maybe a 1/2 inch in length). Its not noticeable unless whatevers on the screen is black.

Pros:

I bought this to get my son to study more, even though I don’t allow his computer games most of the time. It worked. He takes pride in his online classes. And he has game nights on Fridays, too.

Everything I used was perfect. So why 3 stars? I used it and worked OK. When I needed to unplug it once, and travel, in less than 90 min I had to look for a plug.

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.

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.

I ordered a helios predator 300 N came in everything looks fine but I take a glance at the number key and the whole key is poped out the keyboard...
