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

Performs well, and not terribly loud. Marginal gains from overclocking at the expense of a dramatic increase in noise. Display is not quite as bright as I would like for a room with lots of natural light but the refresh rate is a plus. RAM and M.2 expansion is painless, however 2.5 SSD expansion is effectively impossible without finding the proper cable. After calling Acer, they pointed me to a third party that produces the proper cable. Too difficult to navigate their web page so I gave up. I have been through two cables from amazon, and they did not work.

Beware: BIOS is locked

For what it is, this laptop is a pretty good and relatively cheap gaming laptop. However, I have had my laptop repaired once and die twice in the span of 3 months.

youre going to have to do some messing around with the wifi drivers. be careful, you can screw yourself over if you dont do it right. so I recommend doing a lot of research and making sure you know how it works or going to a professional to help.

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.

had it for couple weeks now and its been a good experience, playing games is smooth battery life is not that good but just keep it plugged in and ur all set. gaming experience is morethan enough :) best product i purchased this year!

great

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!

Its a nice laptop for gaming..

Its a very good Gaming Laptop, When I received it was working great for playing games and watching videos for the most part. But not to long after that the speakers or audio from this device decided to give up and make popping or crackling sounds from the speakers cause me not to hear or enjoy anything. Im not saying its bad or I just became one of the unlucky people who got this problem, but I tried everything to fix it with what I knew what to do and Im very interested in the technological field and grew up with computer devices. But overall its a good laptop to game with and do some other things on the side.
