By the way, we shouldn’t forget to mention the dedicated Turbo (or Takeoff) button, which maxes out the fan speed for better thermals.īelow the keyboard, there is the touchpad, which is rather responsive, and accurate. Both the WASD buttons and the Arrows have different color keycaps than the rest of the keyboard, and you get a 4-zone RGB backlight. Interestingly, the Arrow keys are big, but they are crammed into the rest of the keys in such a way, that they are a bit difficult to distinguish in the dark. Now, the feedback is clicky, but we’ve seen better keyboards for gaming. The key size is good, and the key travel feels decent. First of all, there is a NumberPad section. Moving to the keyboard we see a typical Predator matter.

Unlike the aforementioned ROG Strix G17, this device actually has a Web camera, so this makes it a better choice if you need to attend a call on your laptop. Thankfully, the lid opens with a single hand, and the bezels around the display are indeed pretty thin. This makes it slightly heavier than the ROG Strix G17 G713 – one of its direct competitors. And in terms of measurements, this laptop weighs 2.90 kilos and has a profile of 26.55mm.

This is kind of expected, though, given the large footprint of the device. However, we saw some flex in the chassis, and the lid, when we tried to bend them. Nevertheless, the entire laptop is made out of aluminum (except for the bottom panel). Although the design features streamed lines, and very aggressive looks, the vents on the back, and the slightly obnoxious logo on the lid cover are a bit of a giveaway. It is clear that Acer doesn’t want to conceal this notebook’s gaming heritage. You can check the prices and configurations in our Specs System:

Unfortunately, we weren’t able to snatch either of them, so we had to settle with a 1080p 144Hz panel (which should not be too bad, to be honest). There are two top dogs available – one with a 1080p resolution and a 360Hz refresh rate, and another with a QHD resolution, and a 165Hz refresh rate. However, you will also be impressed by the display options. In addition to the Core i7-11800H, the laptop is paired with up to an RTX 3070 graphics card with a 140W TGP. This is not because of something revolutionary from Acer, however, but mostly thanks to what Intel and NVIDIA managed to do. So much, in fact, that it is on the verge to put the behemoth Helios 700 from last year to shame. Although it might seem largely unchanged from last year, the device packs a lot of power. And today, we have the latest 17-inch notebook from the marque – the Predator Helios 300 (PH317-55). Besides Alienware and ROG, the Predators are among the most recognizable gaming devices on the market. Acer produces one of the three most popular gaming brands in the laptop world.
