![]() On the design side, I’m seeing cleaner aesthetics with more limited branding elements and simpler lines. Acer have cleaned up the design and updated the keyboard and screen options of the 2022 Predator Helios 300 series, as well as bumped the hardware to the latest Intel and Nvidia platforms available at the beginning of the year. However, as concluded in our review, the 2021 Helios 300 started to show its age in comparison to the competition, both in terms of design and in terms of features and functionality. The Helios 300 series has been a highly popular mainstream series of performance and gaming laptops in the past years, offering some of the better value for your money in the 1000-1500 USD/EUR price range. Both get 16:9 displays and either FHD 144Hz or QHD 165Hz IPS panels, and similar specs and features between the two sizes. The Helios 300 is available as a 15-incher or as a 17-inch model, code name Helios 300 PH317-56. The Triton 500 SE is only available in a 16-inch format, identical in design to the 2021 model, but with updated hardware and connectivity.

Update: Here’s our detailed review of the 2022 Predator Helios 300, in the best-value Core i7 + RTX 3070Ti configuration. ![]() This article here is a preview of the 2022 generations that goes over the important changes, and we’ll get in-depth at a later date once we get to properly test and review these models. Over the years I’ve reviewed almost all of the Acer laptops available in stores, so I know what their strong points are and where Acer could improve their lineups in order to better match the competition.
