You can find the same GPU in 15-inch systems that cost less. The screen is only standard 1

Decently priced to start, Gorgeous 4K display, Excellent keyboard
No graphics options, A little uninspired
Acer's newest 17-inch gaming laptop isn't rewriting the rule book on mobile PC gaming, but it's a beastly desktop replacement that's left us impressed...
well made, good keyboard and trackpad, gets an upgraded screen, solid performance, runs cool and quiet with daily use, excellent price
a bit heavier and larger than expected, the low travel keyboard won't appeal to everyone, runs hot and noisy under load, the speakers are average at best, only gets a 48 Wh battery
The Helios 300 is Acer's mind-range gaming laptop built on Intel HQ processors and 1060 graphics. The excellent pricing and solid performance are its main selling points, alongside a nice keyboard, alright IO and a fairly good screen on this updated 2018...

The Acer Predator Helios 300 is a good gaming laptop if you're after a machine that'll be plugged-in 95 percent of the time. It gets you good performance per pound with elements of gamer flashiness that appeals to some.The screen is what secures it a fair...

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£1049.00 AmazonMOREBest Gaming Laptop...
Plays 1080p games smoothly, Core i7 processor, Good-looking design, Surprisingly lengthy battery life
Keyboard has familiar chiclet foibles, Trackpad is too soft, Mediocre build quality
Acer Predator Helios 300 – Performance Despite its size and design, the Acer is relatively affordable. The Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1050 Ti featured here is one of the more modest GPUs from the mobile Pascal roster, offering 768 stream processors, 4GB of memo...
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...
