80% Acer Predator Helios 300: We review the bestselling gaming laptop on Amazon
Source: PC World Archive.org version
Overall it’s hard to complain much about the Acer Predator Helios 300. Sure, the battery could be larger, but then it would be heavier and bigger too. With its friendly upgrade paths, top-notch CPU and GPU, and hard-to-beat price of $1,100, there’s a good reason why the Predator Helios 300 has long been the bestselling gaming laptop on Amazon.

80% Acer Predator Helios 300 Review – 144Hz IPS Laptop
Source: Kitguru Archive.org version
Not everything here is perfect, with the metal finish showing fingerprints a bit too readily and the large bezel round the screen is a bit 2015. The oddly placed hash key also took a bit of getting used to. However, overall that screen and the core performance make this laptop well worth a look.

Acer Predator Helios 300 Special Edition review: Paint it white
Source: Good Gear Guide Archive.org version
I wouldn’t spend the extra $300 for the Acer Predator Helios 300 Special Edition, but your mileage may vary. My wife is utterly enthralled by its white-and-gold color scheme, and when I told her you could get the same laptop in black and red for $300 less, she said she’d still opt for the Special Edition simply for its aesthetics. No matter which version you buy, you’ll be getting a great gaming machine. Just be sure to budget for an extra SSD.

The Acer Predator Helios 300 Special Edition gives a great gaming laptop a glamorous look, but you pay a premium for the gorgeous eye candy. And the keyboard backlighting is atrocious.
