As a rule, I always write my laptop reviews on the laptops themselves, but I simply couldn't bring myself to do it for the Helios 300 the final product would have been unreadable.

As a light-fingered touch typist, I found myself constantly missing letters, spaces and carriage returns, making my messages jumbled and unreadable, and my articles full of typos. That's because the keys are stiff and resistant, and require you to depress them completely before they register a command. The most damning thing about the Helios’ keyboard is that it simply doesn't register every keystroke. But at 5.5 pounds, it's a little heavier than the competition (comparable Acer and Alienware laptops weigh around 4.5 pounds). At 14.3 x 10.0 x 0.9 inches, the computer is admirably compact, given the size of its screen. It's got a black metal chassis with two reflective strips and a Predator logo on the back, all lined in blue.
Acer Predator Helios 300: DesignĪesthetically, the Acer Predator Helios 300 resembles many other Predator laptops. Given the heftier pricing, it's well worth checking for an Acer promo code to see if you can save a few dollars on your purchase. Since you can't customize any of the models, you'll have to pick one that suits your needs. There's not much rhyme or reason to the pricing, and it's not clear how many more variations - like our review unit - might be waiting in the wings. If these specs give you the impression that Helios 300 pricing and configuration options are complicated, you're correct.
