60% Acer Predator Helios 300 SpatialLabs Edition Review
Source: Trusted Reviews English
The Acer Predator Helios 300 SpatialLabs Edition is ambitious and fast, but its 3D screen doesn’t do enough to be consistently impressive, and it’s underwhelming elsewhere too. So, your money will go further with quicker, more conventional notebooks.

85% Acer Predator Helios 300 review (2022 model – Intel Core i7, RTX 3070Ti)
Source: Ultrabook Review English
The 2022 Predator Helios 300 is once more a competitive performance/gaming notebook in the mid-tier segment. Acer updated the design, the screen options, the inputs, and the ports, added a 90 Wh battery and a beefed-up thermal module, as well as significantly more powerful specs than on the previous generations. As a result, this laptop is more competent in demanding loads and games, and lasts for longer with daily use on battery. At the same time, the 2022 Helios 300 runs warmer and noisier, still lacks in audio quality, and is no longer as competitively priced as it used to be.
