It feels quite nice to type on, and is reminiscent of the Surface Pro keyboard. When opened up and turned on, you are greeted with an equally sleek keyboard which can be configured with a wide variety of colors and patterns over three backlight zones. Air vents adorn the sides above the I/O without adding much bulk to the tail end of the laptop as well. It's actually quite feasible to envision hooking up a full set of wired peripherals, complete with dual monitors, and using it like a desktop PC. On the sides, you'll find a respectable amount of connectivity for a laptop this small: an HDMI port, one USB-A 3.2 port on either side, a USB-C 3.2 port which supports DisplayPort over USB as well as Thunderbolt 4 connectivity, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Covering the hinge is a neat strip of metal that is colored in such a way that it shifts between holographic pink, blue, and the regular silver color depending on how you look at it. The top shell gleams from its silvery, brushed metal plating, with the Predator logo embossed into the front right corner - all of which contributes to the premium feel of the gaming laptop. While closed, it measures a little under 13" wide and about 9" deep, which means it should fit in most other bags without a hitch. The Predator Triton 300 SE is shockingly tiny alongside the secret spy-esque briefcase box that the laptop came in, Acer provides a small slip-on case for the device, and it's weird to think a laptop this powerful could fit in that tiny of a case. Acer really went out of its way to deliver a product that’s durable while also being a stylish, lightweight device that carries well in the hand. The Acer Predator Triton 300 SE is pretty. While the specs are respectful and should satisfy the needs of most PC gamers, the 300 SE really stands out with a premium design and solid build quality that you would normally need to pay more to get from other laptop brands. Regardless, the pricing on these two models is excellent for what you get. It doesn't seem that the Triton 300 SE is being sold in the AU at all, however you may have luck ordering from somewhere else or acquiring other options such as the Acer Predator Helios 300 for AU$2599.Īcer states that the Triton 300 SE can be expanded to contain up to 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, but there didn't seem to be any listings or pricing for these upgraded sizes, so it just means you can upgrade your RAM and SSD later - which isn’t guaranteed these days. In the UK, the 3050 Ti model isn't available, which is why rough converted prices are listed here, but you can buy the 3060 model for £1399 with the bonus of a 1TB SSD. The Triton 300 SE is available in two models from the Acer US store, which only vary in which GPU comes inside: one with a 3050 Ti which is listed at $1,349.99 (about £1,445, AU$1,916), and the one listed to the right at $1,499.99 (about AU$2,127).

The build quality is solid and it still looks pretty attractive unless you want something that screams “gamer”. Overall, the Acer Predator Helios 300 2021 gaming laptop only has a minor design change, most notably that the lid is shaped like a rectangle now as opposed to the slight curvature before on the top edges. You can easily spot the CPU / GPU fan here, and one screw is hidden behind an Acer sticker, which will void the warranty if it gets removed.
