The design is cleaner, with few and muted branding elements and almost none of those gaming accents present before. There’s still a Predator logo in the middle of the lid, though, and it’s panel lit, which means it can’t be switched off. This 2022 Helios 300 design improves on the aesthetics and ergonomics of the previous chassis in a few notable ways.
We’ll cover the other variation in future reviews, but the majority of our thoughts in this article apply to the entire series, regardless of the exact variant. For this generation, the lineup is Intel exclusive with DDR5 memory and GPU options between an RTX 3060 140W and an RTX 3080 150W.

This is affecting the gaming benchmarks – looking for a BIOS update from Acer and will retest and update the Gaming section. There is actually a MUX that can be enabled in the BIOS, but it doesn’t work properly with the current early-software that I have on this unit. Update: I’ve edited an error in the initial article claiming there is no MUX on this design (thanks for pointing it out to me in the comments section). In the detailed review down below, we’ll discuss these and all the other important aspects that you should know about the 2022 Predator Helios 300 series before jumping on it. There’s also a MUX now on this series, with Advanced Optimus support on some configurations, but I would have hoped Acer would improve the audio quality at least to some extent, as that’s been a known culprit of the past Helios and Nitro products – they did not.
They’ve brought changes to the design and overall ergonomics of this series, updated the inputs and the screen choices, and revamped the internals, allowing for modern specs running at higher power, a more complex cooling module, and a larger battery. In all honesty, this was in dire need of updates in order to regain its competitiveness in the mid-range segment of performance/gaming notebooks, which it topped at some point in the past.
