Performance, Bold design
Only Windows 10 Home, Fan noise, Weight and size
All things considered the Acer Predator Helios 300 would sit a lot better with me if it wasn't as big, given I take laptops with me daily, whereas this feels more like a laptop designed to take to a LAN party once a month. If I'm investing in a laptop I w...

Well Built, Lighter than its competitors, Good display, Keyboard is good for typing, GPU overclocking
Only 1 USB 3.0 port, Quality of plastics could have been better, Expensive
The Acer Predator Helios 300 is a good laptop, but can't match the added features of some other laptops in its category. That being said, it is the only laptop in its range to offer GPU overclocking, if you need that...
