Acer Predator Helios 300 15.6" - Pros & Cons

great combination of price and performance
Productivity work stays pretty quiet
decent hardware and good game performance
smooth surface makes it easy to use
good strength
exhibiting minimal lid and chassis flex
1920x1080 IPS display was also excellent
you decent features and performance and is affordable
powerful performance paired with a colorful display and a comfortable keyboard
It provides 1 TB of storage space and delivers good transfer rates
cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye
GPU performs decently and delivers average
screen shows good response rates in our tests
The 240 Hz panel has quick response times
professional single phase power quality and energy measurement digital multimeter
Helios 300 delivers an equally impressive gaming performance
features a solid build quality and an almost-excellent display
this laptop has managed to live up to its reputation just fine
bold design mixed with powerful hardware and an equally competent thermal solution
The click response is fine and multi-finger gestures
i7-11800H is an excellent example
the app allows you to save individual profiles

it lacks a privacy shutter
slightly more expensive
lacks the per-key backlighting customization of the more costly
the catch is short battery life and a truly terrible pair of speakers
wonky high-pitched electric guitar noises
The vocals sounded hollow and the percussion was muddled beneath the guitar
short battery life and crappy speakers
soaring over the 75-fps category average
notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession
The device should not be placed on the lap under load
frequency is too low
users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches
Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to
The respective targets are narrowly missed
hilariously mediocre brightness level
8GB RAM is simply not enough for a high-end gaming laptop
of the memory modules are soldered onto the motherboard here
GPU-intensive games take quite a toll on this laptop
Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant would say Not great
not terrible
keyboard lacks the per-key backlighting customization
maxes at 240Hz refresh rate
the Predator branding is now only located on the inside of the laptop
dubious utility of the Turbo button
Battery life is pretty dismal
poor battery life
battery life is pretty abominable as well
very pointy corners and chamfered edges
mildly frustrating keyboard and touchpad issues
It makes for a mildly frustrating typing experience
The speakers are likewise underwhelming
constantly missing letters
spaces and carriage returns
Helios 300 relies on some extremely loud fans
Helios 300 pricing and configuration options are complicated
customize any of the models
