The Acer Predator Helios 300 is a perfect choice for those looking to game without resorting to pricier and more powerful configurations. This machine features a 17.3-inch full HD display with a refresh rate of 144Hz, a 10th Gen Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, 512GB SSD, and RTX 2060 graphics. However, the battery life of less than 3.5 hours leaves something to be desired. It's now $300 off at Best Buy.

The Predator series has already earned a spot as one of the best gaming laptops available at the moment. The Acer Predator Helios 300 features a 17.3-inch Full HD display, a decent 512GB of SSD storage, 16GB of RAM, RTX 2060 graphics, and a powerful 10th Gen Intel i7-10750H processor — all the specs you would find in other flagship models on the market, including the Lenovo Y540 and Razer Blade 15 (2019). With its impressive refresh rate of 144 Hz, this machine will easily run many of our favorite PC games at more than 100 frames per second. 

In our Acer Predator Helios 300 review, we were impressed with the powerful gaming hardware and good overall gaming experience. And while the noisy fans are a common downside of most gaming laptops, we couldn’t ignore its less-than-comfortable keyboard (which could be overlooked if you’re looking to use a separate gaming keyboard via USB).

The RGB-friendly aesthetics of the Acer Predator Helios 300 are definitely something that catches your eye when it comes to the machine’s design. This model certainly resembles other laptops from the Predator series, with a black metal chassis with the signature blue logo, compact design and customizable RGB backlit keyboard.
