Predator is the name given to Acer's gaming notebooks. Helio 300 is the latest offering from the company and it offers specifications we have not seen from any other brand at this price. Special mention to the thermal design with dual AeroBlade fans-these are custom, ultrathin metal fans that enable better and quieter airflow to cool the massive heat-generating components inside. The Helios 300 impresses with its stylish and sturdy design-it has a brushed metal finish lid and palm rest. On top are red accents with the Predator logo engraved in silver. Overall, the Acer Predator Helios 300 is a winner in our books. It offers great performance, top-notch specifications, stylish design and saves you some money.

IPS panel with a matte finish which is always nice to have. It is sharp and colors look good thanks to the 81 percent sRGB color gamut coverage. Heat management is done thanks to two inbuilt fans. As soon as you turn on a heavy game or anything that requires higher performance, the dual fans speed up to cool the innards. Alternatively, you can control fan speeds manually thanks to the pre-installed Predator Sense app. The trackpad has a smooth surface and a red outline. It offers a decent size but the left and right clicks are a bit soft. The Windows gestures work good too and are very responsive. Acer has also added two easy access panels at the bottom to upgrade or replace the RAM or HDD.

I Got it in my hand a few hours ago.Hence, performance wise it will be very hard to comment or write a review.I will just keep this review segregated in 3 segments. Packing: Flipkart packing surely is lacking quality.This seems agreeable for all reviewers here.They just put the predator box inside a cartoon and sent.The cartoon could have something foamy or bubble wrapped with a same size as of the predator box,making it a perfect sized and shaped package.They faultered,and faultered big. Luckily the Acer package is awesome and very hard for any incident to make any tear on it.Acer,+1; Flipkart,a -1 I believe here. Shipping and courier: The courier company,named ecom express was pathetic. No one received calls in customer care,the tracking system is even harder than rocket science to understand where the package actually lies, and morover they up delivering the box 4 days after the promised delivery day,but the delivery centre attendant was very helpful and helped me to his utmost possible for getting a smooth delivery once it reached the delivery centre. Machine overview:Absolute gorgeous! The bright red backlight is so eye catching!Yes,display brightness is on a bit deemer side,but 1080P display coupled with smooth running processor makes up for it. Speakers with Dolby audio are really decent.no problem of any current flowing or anything while charging.Overall pretty impressed.I will update performance wise report after a few days of usage.

I have been using the laptop for the past three weeks. My usage consists of moderate gaming, browsing and office work. I can say my overall experience has been positive. However, there are few things with respect to Laptop and Acer that i disliked. Product Cons: 1) Design of the track pad makes it usage difficult, i used Usb mouse to overcome this. 2) The battery is mediocre and requires to be plugged in quickly. 3) The display clarity could have been better especially during browsing documents and webpages. 4) The product is overpriced at one lakh. This is part of the reason why Flipkart has some leverage to give some good discount on the product. I dislike Acer's strategy of introducing trimmed down products in India. The Helios 300 version in USA has a better graphic card along with more ram and storage space. After paying a premium price too Indian customers get a bad deal. This bias towards emerging markets need to be changed. Companies should treat all their customers equally worldwide. Overall its a decent laptop for gaming. P.S : Please avail the extended warranty offered by Acer to this product. You get three year protection along with 1 TB external Hdd for nearly 3000 rupees. T

Packing was really poor. Flipkart, if you guys can't get enough bubble wraps atleast get the appropriate size boxes. Laptop till now has no physical damage yet. Going to use and see if needs to be replaced or not. I would like to emphasize again please improve your packaging. Product till now is working fine. Just lil issue in software.

Its an overall good product and for the money it sounds good at-least on the paper. But when you start scratching it under the surface, you will realise how Acer has cut corners on India spec models. Following things are have been swapped to lower grade items when compared to USA spec models: 1. Screen on it is from Che Mei instead of LG Philips, so it has poorer color reproduction(sRGB 69% coverage vs 82% on US spec model). 2. SSD on India spec model is a Hynix version SATA3 drive instead of Intel 600p NVMe SSD. SATA3 SSD have 25-30% performance of NVMe SSDs, so we loose a lot here. 3. RAM modules are from Micron instead of Kingston ones on US spec models. Reliability of these RAM modules beyond first year of warranty is of doubt. Some of the above problems could be solved by changing the components as RAM and SSDs, but that makes it pumping more money into a laptop which already costs twice the price in USA. I would have definitely given this laptop 5 stars if configuration was at par everywhere in world; but Acer is clearly fooling us in name of a good laptop.

The laptop had freezing issues. It randomly used to freeze any time and i had to reset the battery to make it start again. Later got bios update and everything is working fine now. I bought it during sale for 62k and it is the best laptop that u can get for that price.

If you r getting shocks from the laptops body then plug in a socket which has earthing in it..if ur screen brightness fluctuates then go in intel graphic seeting and turn off power saving...I ran witcher 3 in ultra at 45 fps..Gta 5 on 55fps wildlands on 48 fps Rise of Tomb raider on 50 fps..all on ultra settings...maxed out...the laptop is a beast..packing was bad...i mean like super bad...the seal was intact though and laptop was fine..Go for it..Wenger out

The experience is disaster. Defective laptop was sent by flipkart. Display is not working. Moreover, voltage leakage in the charger. Put the replacement order, but don't know what will I get in the replaced laptop. There is no return policy, only replacement. And replacement will done for one time only. If can't check the laptop before purchasing. And if got a bad product after replacement, then flipkart is not responsible for this. So, don't buy this online laptop. I used to trust flipkart. My thinking was like, any other online shopping site can provide you bad quality products, but not flipkart. But after this, I will not trust flipkart anymore. Moreover, horrible experience.
