The editors liked
The Nvidia 1060 graphics card is overclockable
And cooling is assisted by a patented superthin fan. For a 17-inch VR-ready gaming laptop
The price is very reasonable
Performance
Bold design
The editors didn't like
You can find the same GPU in 15-inch systems that cost less. The screen is only standard 1
920x1
080 resolution and doesn't really pop. The part-plastic body is a yawn

Good build quality, Excellent performance, Impressive thermal dissipation, Display has outstanding contrast and grayscale accuracy
Slow SSD speeds, especially sequential reads/writes, No HDD, Mediocre battery life, Poor audio quality, Color accuracy, Lacks necessary ports for Oculus Rift compatibility
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 $1099.99...

easily recognizable, light weight, slim design, GeForce GTX 1060 with 6 GB VRAM, fast Intel Core i7-7700HQ, good input devices, 512 GB SSD, matte display with good viewing angles, high system performance, low power consumption, great port distribution, f
sound system is below expectations, high temperatures under load, cooling fans make high-frequency noise under load, cooling fans difficult to clean, only one free 2.5-inch slot available, could offer more ports
Fairly portable (thinner and lighter than the competition), Decent keyboard and touchpad, Good IPS panel with wide sRGB coverage and high maximum brightness, Good battery life for a 17-inch gaming laptop
Unsatisfactory build quality, Poorly designed cooling system (high inner and outer temperatures during load)е, The screen uses PWM from 0 to 99% brightness (our Health-Guard profile fixes that), Only one USB-A 3.0 connector
If you are expecting the usual Predator experience from Acer, you will definitely be disappointed. But if you are a fan of the lineup and you still don't want to spend so much money on a 17-inch GTX 1060-equipped gaming machine, then the Predator Helios 3...
Very good value/price ratio, with GTX 1060 I7, SSD and 2x8GB RAM combination for $1000$1050, Panel with low response times than usual, Rather comfortable keyboard (but resistance should have been better), NVMe M.2 port, Easy access to the 2.5" bay and RAM
IPS has low color coverage, low maximal brightness. Forget about photoediting, Ports: Only 2xUSB 3.0 ports (1xTypeC), no Thunderbolt 3, no mDP, Storage: SSD is SATA and no HDD included, Sound quality isn't good, Upper left keyboard surface temps > 50C und
I'll keep it short. The Acer G3-571 / Helios 300 is a basic gaming laptop, but for $1050 (current price), the laptop is the most convincing gaming laptop for that price I've tested. It sports the usual hardware of I7-7700HQ, GTX 1060 6GB, 1080p IPS displa...

Great price for a GTX 1060 GPU, Strong performance, Relatively long battery life, two-year warranty, Easy to upgrade
Display is on the dim side
The Acer Predator Helios 300 is a great deal for a gaming machine with a GTX 1060 GPU...
Lots of power, Affordable price, 144Hz refresh rate, Decent battery life
Gets too hot, Loud fans, Lackluster sound
We've said it several times and we'll say it again: the Acer Predator Helios 300 is a powerful gaming laptop on the budget spectrum. Yes, there are a few obvious signs where Acer seemingly cut corners, namely the set of speakers that are unimpressive and...
There's nothing too revolutionary going on here but Acer's new gaming laptop looks set to be a perfectly capable option at a decent price. Exactly how it stacks up against the competition is something we'll find out in our full review later in the year.Si...
We'll bring you a full review of the Helios 500 soon, but until then, early signs are promising. It isn't a cheap option, and we still don't know how much the flagship Core i9+ model will cost, but the ingredients are all there for success.Tags:LaptopsSha...
