Acer has lately elevated its predator line of gaming laptops to elite status with the Helios 300, delivering the best of the best for less money. The Acer Predator Helios 300 PH315-51-78NP is the latest in Acer’s gaming line, and it has lots of things going for it. First, it has a cool name. It’s reasonably priced, though not the very inexpensive laptop you can get with these specs. And, it can be paired with a virtual reality (VR) headset.
This gaming laptop is built around a muscular Intel “Coffee Lake” eight-generation CPU and a GeForce GTX 1060 GPU, a combination that will run anything thrown its way with resilience. Battery life is middling, but the Helios advantages are centered on whether you prefer a comfortable keyboard, nice aesthetics, sturdy build quality and gaming prowess over anything else.
