Okay, an RTX 3080 or RTX 3090 will push frame rates higher still, but the RTX 3050 Ti avoids eye-watering prices while still doing most top-end games justice, especially at 1080p (an RTX 3080 configuration is actually available on the Helios 300). The components packed inside the Acer Predator Helios 300 ensure that pretty much everything flies on this laptop, even the most demanding games of the moment. The keyboard and trackpad are a pleasure to use, offering a fine level of responsiveness and a premium feel, and a word too on the stereo speakers: they're by no means best-in-class, but they do a surprisingly decent job when it comes to movies, music, games, and anything else that comes with audio. It's worth mentioning that this laptop will get rather loud and hot under intense load, but no more so than other comparable gaming machines with the same config. What can't be changed are the large air grilles for keeping the internal components nice and cool, and the sheer size and bulk of this laptop (it measures 398 mm x 275.3 mm x 26.55 mm when closed and weighs in at 2.90 kg). The large, illuminated blue Predator logo on the laptop lid is a part of that, as are the rainbow lighting effects on the keyboard, all of which can be customized as required. There's no disguising the fact that this is a big, bulky, gaming laptop – you can pull it out in a coffee shop, but it's going to attract some attention.

Nvidia RTX 30 series cards are the best in the business at the time of writing, and that makes the Acer Predator Helios 300 worthy of your consideration – but then plenty of other gaming laptops feature the same series of GPUs as well.

There's also a 720p webcam embedded in the top display bezel, but it doesn't support facial recognition for logging into Windows more easily (and there's no fingerprint sensor either). There's plenty in the way of ports too, for attaching up your second monitor, your external storage, and whatever else: you get two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port with Thunderbolt 4 support, one HDMI 2.0 port, and an Ethernet port for a rock-solid internet connection. The screen, with its 144Hz refresh rate and 1,920 x 1,080 resolution (other configurations are available), is bright, crisp, vivid and perfect for games.

You're really buying this laptop for the 17-inch display and the GPU power – if those are both important to you, get this on your shortlist, because the Acer Predator Helios 300 is going for a reasonable price considering everything you get in return.
