68% Acer Predator Helios 300 Review – The 2020 Baseline Gaming Laptop
Source: Pokde Archive.org version
There are some issues that can be fixed, and some you will just have to live with. Despite the issues, I do feel that it’s a better offering than the Triton 300. With that, I award the Acer Predator Helios 300 with our Bronze Pokdeward.

85% Acer Predator Helios 300 review (2019 PH317-53 17-inch model – Core i7, RTX 2060)
Source: Ultrabook Review Archive.org version
Acer did an excellent job with this redesigned 17-inch Predator Helios 300, creating a new laptop from scratch, with a smaller form-factor, latest generation hardware and most of the modern features potential buyers expect in a gaming computer in 2019, just like with the smaller 15-inch variant. This one performs even better, runs cooler and includes better speakers and a brighter screen, but it's also chunkier and heavier, given it's a 17-incher, and still lacks certain traits some might want in a versatile all-day computer, like TB3, a card-reader, a cleaner design or longer battery life.
