If you're looking for a budget-friendly gaming machine that's reliable, you can't get much better than the Helios. Between the top-tier components and effective cooling system, this affordable laptop more than gets the job done. If you're a hardcore gamer, it's powerful enough to handle virtual-reality experiences and the occasional AAA title. And if you just need a multi-tasking workhorse, it can do that too.

I’ll keep it short. The Acer G3-571 / Helios 300 is a basic gaming laptop, but for $1050 (current price), the laptop is the most convincing gaming laptop for that price I’ve tested. It sports the usual hardware of I7-7700HQ, GTX 1060 6GB, 1080p IPS display (with low response times in my unit) and a SATA 256GB SSD and it’s easy to find 1TB HDD for $50 to throw in. The basics are good – performance is as expected (actually I got a little higher FPSs compared to the Y720), temps are in the safe range and are lower – again – than the Lenovo Y720, keyboard is rather good. The most notable drawbacks are the low color IPS display (common), the lack of mDP, and only 2xUSB 3.0 port and ofcourse no Thunderbolt 3 and sound quality isn’t good. It doesn’t have GSync either, but that’s not different compared to the competition. So, I find this machine to be a better choice compared to the Lenovo Y720.

The Helios 300 is a highly customizable laptop that delivers some pretty solid gaming performance. The screen and weight are two things that bring it down, and we wish that it would run a little bit quieter. But these faults aside, it’s a great attempt by Acer to create an affordable gaming laptop that can cater to any gamer’s needs.

It may not be quite fair (or altogether appropriate) to think of the Acer Predator Helios 300 as a kinder, gentler Predator. But at $1,099 in our review configuration, it's certainly gentler on your wallet than a similarly configured Acer Predator 15, which currently sells for around $1,400.

The Acer Predator Helios 300 is a powerful, VR-ready gaming machine that costs several hundred dollars less than you might expect. Acer cut some corners with the display to get there, but its easy upgradability makes it a laptop you can keep gaming on for the long term. The battery life also impressed us.

For now, we will give an early verdict of the notebook’s design, build quality and screen since these are the only things we were able to test for now. We will update the review as soon as we get a decent sample.

That said, for a GTX 1060-equipped laptop, the Acer Helios 300 certainly offers quite a lot for its asking price. The combination of a 256GB SSD with a 1TB hard drive is especially generous when compared to the competition, with only MSI matching it pound for pound. Considering that Dell and HP offers GTX 1050 Ti laptops for only RM600 less than the Helios 300, the combination of a GTX 1060 and a 256GB SSD is definitely worth a punt.

The Helios 300 is Acer's mind-range gaming laptop built on Intel Core H processors and 1060 graphics and overall one of the best value notebooks in this market. The excellent pricing and solid performance are its main selling points, alongside a nice keyboard, alright IO and a fairly good screen with 144 Hz refresh rate on the updated 2018 model. There are however still some aspects to improve, like the size of the battery, arguable design decisions and rather lackluster speakers. Read on for more details.

Budget laptop for gamers. Powerful notebooks often come with a hefty price tag. This is not the case with the Acer Predator Helios 300. The gaming-capable version of this laptop costs only 1100 Euros ($1296). You can learn in this review how the 17-incher stacks up against the competition.

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.

If you are expecting the usual Predator experience from Acer, you will definitely be disappointed. But if you are a fan of the lineup and you still don’t want to spend so much money on a 17-inch GTX 1060-equipped gaming machine, then the Predator Helios 300 (17-inch) might suit you. Even with all of its drawbacks, there are still some things that need to be considered.

Acer Predator Helios 300 PH315-51-73C5
The Acer Predator Helios 300 PH315-51-73C5 is Acer's mid-range gaming laptop, which is built on Intel Core H processors and 1060 graphics. The Predator division was only formed in 2008 and was designed to focus primarily on gaming. It has been one of the most popular mid-range gaming laptops, mainly due to the pricing. With its part-metal build and GeForce GTX 1060 graphics, the Acer Predator Helios 300 is a compelling mid-range gaming laptop in a premium suite. The 300’s has been masterfully crafted and features brushed aluminum with two distinct curves providing an element of depth. Acer has placed two red lines on the inside and the Predator insignia is found in the very center. Along the edge of the lid, there is a section of plastic which not only helps with gripping to open/close the unit but also prevents any nasty smudges or fingerprints appearing on the lid. A dedicated graphics card that’s mere steps below the best, 16 GB of memory, the solid state drive and an 8th generation Intel Core processor, make this budget gaming laptop an impressive one when it comes to performance. The NVIDIA GTX 1060 has been selected and in this case, the 6 GB version. This model is ideal for 1080p gaming and is the sweet spot for this category of laptop. Most games will be able to sustain a healthy 60 fps with detail maxed out. The only thing that really affects gaming performance is the fan. Due to the fact that the fan and cooling system on this gaming laptop isn’t great, a user will experience thermal throttling, which in turn causes stuttering and frame drops whenever the CPU or GPU overheats. However, setting the fan to max and turning on CoolBoost puts a stop to the stuttering, and the performance returns to as it should be. There’s a 15.6-inch matte display on the Helios 300, with an IPS panel. The display has true-to-life color reproduction, with stronger blue and magenta hues that we like better than warmer tones for gaming and watching movies. The display also boasts a 144 Hz refresh rate, which is not typically seen in budget gaming laptops. This is a major upgrade from the 2017 model to help minimize blur and make up for dropped frames. Connectivity is located in the usual place, which is along each side. On one edge there are a Kensington lock, a Gigabit Ethernet LAN port, a USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-C port, an HDMI 2.0 port, a USB 3.1 Gen1 port, and an SDXC card slot reader. Users will notice the LAN port looks rather different to a conventional slot, since the lower latch drops down. Cable is connected and then the latch is released for a secure fitment. Over on the other side, there are 2 USB 2.0 ports, activity/battery LED indicators and a DC-in port. Hands-on article by Jagadisa RajarathnamSpecifications

With Black Friday and Cyber Monday unfortunately over this is still very easily a machine that you can afford to gift someone who is a gamer in your family and it’s also a laptop you personally can invest in if you’re a gamer. It’s one of the best gaming bundles not related to a gaming console there is. There’s so much to like with the Helios 300 and a few things to not like so much but the pros far outweigh the cons and I’d HIGHLY recommend this laptop to anyone looking for a gaming laptop. Acer absolutely nailed it and with Xmas holiday weeks away this is the time to pick up this laptop for your gaming needs. Head to Acer’s website and buy it direct from them or of course check your favorite retailer.

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.

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.

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.

Summed up, the Predator Helios 300 is a fast gaming laptop at a fair price, with some unique features to boot. It may not be the same exceptional value it was a year ago, but with the addition of a 144Hz display, it still stands out against other similarly equipped configurations.

Acer Predator Helios 300 Special Edition PH315-51-78UA
The Predator Helios series can be considered as high end budget gaming laptops. The reason for that is not the hardware, but the used materials. Most of the gaming laptops, especially in the high end, use magnesium alloy cases, whereas Acer prefers plastic material, a lot. This helps to reduce the costs of the end product. If you consider 1,200 Euros, low of course. Don’t let the “Special Edition” in the name confuse you. In today’s industry, I think there is not much of speciality going on in terms of hardware and we mostly end up seeing those special stuff only on the outside and Predator Helios 300 Special Edition unfortunately is no different. In this case, the naming simply means instead of going for red or black coloring, picking gold and white. It is kinda obvious this model is targeted to female gamers. It sounds a bit strange, but yeah, it is what it is. Is there anything else worth mentioning about this “Special Edition”? Unfortunately not. In fact, in all the high end gaming laptops, this laptop could be considered mid range with its technical specs. It comes with at least a GTX 1060, in my opinion it is the minimum GPU all the gamers should aim for. I would take this further and say that all the current laptops which come with GTX 1050 or 1050 Ti can and maybe should be considered as multimedia laptops. Because they can not continue to provide high performances or lets say high details with high fps values any more and it will be worse going forward. Compared to Asus, MSI or any other gaming laptop manufacturer, this laptop does unfortunately not stand out. It is just a change in the colors and nothing much. If you fancy a white / gold laptop and are ready to pay more just for that well, go for it. Compared to a regular Helios, this model costs 300-500 Euros more depending on the provider. Is it worth it? It is a decision you have to make. In my own opinion, it is not worth it. A real gamer would spend that money for a GTX 1070 update, that would make a lot more sense. To sum it up, “Special Edition” naming seems to be just for marketing purposes as there are no real special thing to consider about. It is still a good gaming device. But all considered, I don’t think it is worth to spend extra money on it. Hands-on article by Ümit Yılmaz GüneşSpecifications

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.

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.

All-in-all Helios 300 17 2019 is a nice upgrade over the last year’s model. Aside from the obvious visual overhaul, the laptop now features the latest and greatest from Intel in the form of Core i5-9300H and Core i7-9750H as well as up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q. Something that speaks enough of the overall thermal performance of the machine.

However, the battery life is average, it’s a fingerprint magnet, it doesn’t differ much from its previous iteration, 4-zone RGB feels a little outdated in 2020, the fan gets really loud in Turbo, and it’s true potential is held back by the single stick 8GB RAM. If you already own the previous iteration, there’s really no reason to upgrade to this one but otherwise, it’s still one worth considering.

The Acer Predator Helios 300 2021 brings a healthy update to its hardware, coming in more powerful as ever with some minor improvements here and there. If you are using a previous generation model or a different laptop with similar hardware like a 9th or 10th Gen Intel Core CPU and NVIDIA RTX 20-series GPU, there’s really no need to upgrade but if it’s any older, it’s worth considering, especially with an attractive price of RM8,999.

Now, we have two things to say. First of all, the performance in the gaming tests could have been better, if we were able to find a configuration that comes with dual-channel memory. On the other hand, we didn’t find any MUX switch settings, so you will definitely get better performance when you are connected to an external monitor. Generally speaking, we can’t say that this unit is the best on the market. In terms of performance for the hardware (especially in games), it might not even be in the top 3. However, you have to keep its price in mind. Given the fact that no laptop is perfect, you have to set your priorities straight before you even look for anything, and if it happens to match your standards – go for it. In this case, the Helios 300 has a lot of great competitors, like the ROG Strix G17 G713 we mentioned, as well as the slightly smaller Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16, and Legion 7 (16″).

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.

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.

Acer: The company was founded under the name of Multitech in Taiwan in 1976 and renamed to Acer or Acer Group in 1987. The product range includes, for example, laptops, tablets, smartphones, desktops, monitors and televisions. Gateway Inc. and Packard Bell also belong to the Group and sell their own laptops.
While Acer still had the third largest global market share in the notebook segment in 2008, it ranked 6th in 2016 with a market share of 6% after they had continuously lost market shares.
There are dozens of Acer laptop reviews per month, the ratings are average (as of 2016). Gateway, which has an own laptop line-up, has also belonged to the Acer Group since 2007.
