We first reviewed the Acer Predator Helios 700 gaming laptop at its debut in 2019, and this latest model (starts at $2,399.99; $3,499.99 as tested) brings new components to the 17.3-inch beast. The Helios 700 s calling card remains the sliding HyperDrift keyboard, which extends down off the laptop s deck toward the user to create an angled typing surface. Doing so also opens up additional fans previously hidden beneath the keyboard, boosting performance by unlocking CPU and GPU overclock modes. Our pricey test unit flaunts an Intel Core i9 processor, 32GB of RAM, 2TB of storage, and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Super GPU that, when pushed with overclocks, can even beat RTX 3080 competitors.

The Acer Predator Helios 300 is the cheapest premium notebook and might just be the fastest laptop under Rs 1,50,000. On paper, the Acer Predator Helios 300 is an absolute beast, but how does it fare in real-world scenarios, and what are you compromising for the price? Well, stick around and let us find out.
