Acer Predator Helios 300 SpatialLabs Edition review
Source: Stuff TV
If you buy into new technology then it’s always a gamble – you don’t know how well it’ll work and if it’ll grow into prominence or fade into obscurity. And, right now, the jury is out for Acer’s SpatialLabs screen. Right now, the 3D tech doesn’t work well enough in enough games. It’s tricky to recommend this misfiring 3D software when the alternative is crisp 4K gaming or a lower-resolution screen with a far better refresh rate. Get beyond the special screen and the Acer remains inconsistent. The display’s refresh rate undermines its good quality. The graphics card and processor are fast, but other laptops are faster. The design is bulky, and the keyboard and trackpad are underwhelming. If you want sleeker design, more power or better ergonomics, you’ll find them on rivals from Alienware, Razer and MSI at prices that remain in the same ballpark as the Acer. Acer’s 3D-toting gaming laptop tries hard to deliver innovation, but it’s just not consistent or impressive enough – and at this price, buying into the system feels too expensive and too risky.
