Acer Predator Helios 300

Strengths

The Acer Predator Helios 300 offers amazing performance in a somewhat portable chassis.
It's a great desktop replacement since battery life isn't its biggest forte
For a price point that undercuts ultra-high-end laptops, it's offering impressive results
The extra CPU wattage gives the Helios 300 an advantage in gaming every now and then
It performed normally in every single game we tested
The keyboard could be refined with an all-matte-black chassis instead of the dual tone matte black and brushed aluminum texture

Weaknesses

Battery life really isn't its biggest forte
The mushy feeling of the keyboard takes away an enjoyable typing experience
The screen could be a bit brighter and taller
It has some cyan accents on it that aren't mentioned in any other context
The Advanced Optimus feature sometimes doesn't provide quite as much power to the RTX 3070 Ti as it should
Some early reviews reported that the Helios 300's MUX switch wasn't working properly, but a BIOS update has since fixed this issue
