The editors didn't like
Slow SSD speeds
Especially sequential reads/writes
No HDD
Mediocre battery life
Poor audio quality
Color accuracy
Lacks necessary ports for Oculus Rift compatibility
You can find the same GPU in 15-inch systems that cost less. The screen is only standard HD resolution and doesn't really pop. The part-plastic body is a yawn
Cool game-centric design, Great battery life for a gaming laptop, Solid CPU and GPU performance, Three set GPU speeds
Nasty gap between screen and base, Speakers mounted on the bottom
The Predator Helios 300 provides great PC gaming for the buck, and it should be your go-to rig if you want a gaming laptop that's fast, affordable, and huge...
The Acer is a well-made machine with good balance, especially considering the £1,300 price. The GTX 1050 Ti is a solid 1080p gaming chip, the Core i7 processor is fast, and the screen is solid.It's all wrapped up inside a good-looking design that doesn't...

You can find similar components for less, but Acer packs a lot of unique features -- and a big screen -- into the midpriced Predator Helios 300...

Seeing as this is a £1,300 laptop - not exactly a small investment - you'd be right to expect some serious performance for your money. Does the Helios 300 provide?Well, yes and no. As the benchmarks show, its Intel i7 7700HQ CPU can blast through multi-co...
well made and not very aggressive on the gaming accents, good IO, good keyboard and trackpad, excellent performance, runs cool and quiet with daily use, fairly good speakers, but not very loud
heavier and larger than expected, rather dim and color deficient screen, the low travel keyboard won't appeal to everyone, runs very hot under load, only gets a 48 Wh battery
The Helios 300 is Acer's first mind-range Predator built on Intel HQ processors and Nvidia 1050 Ti/1060 graphics. Top notch performance is its selling point, alongside a quiet cooling system, a nice keyboard, solid IO and overall good construction, with s...
Acer's already tried and tested this formula with the its VX line, and with a higher-spec graphics and a better screen, I'm optimistic this is another solid addition to its gaming laptop range...
Predator Helios 300 Special Edition‘s gaming performance doesn't disappoint. Playing Overwatch and CS:GO on it feel seamless and lag-free thanks to its 144Hz display and great specs. Aside from the performance, its design that comes mainly in white gets d...
low-contrast FHD panel, incomplete sRGB coverage, odd keyboard layout, quite pronounced backlight bleeding, poor battery life, high idle power consumption, choice of material and rigidity too poor for its price

The best GTX 1070 notebook out there (at the moment of writing), Maintains super low GPU temperatures at exceptionally high frequencies, Super bright panel with a high contrast ratio and very punchy colors (covers 99% of Adobe RGB and 96% of DCI-P3), RGB
Heavy and bulky design, Price tag is also heavy, Short battery life
Acer Predator Helios 500 is set to change the gaming laptop world. Not only by using the latest and greatest from Intel in the face of Core i9-8950HK but also by featuring a super effective cooling solution and an amazing screen. We can define the Lenovo...
