The Acer Predator Helios 300 isn't without its flaws, but the performance it offers at $1,100 makes the flaws almost negligible. It's hard to pass up a deal this enticing if you're working with a $1,200 budget.Review£1049.00 AmazonMOREBest Gaming Laptop...

Keyboard has familiar chiclet foibles, Trackpad is too soft, Mediocre build quality
