Starting with the flagship Acer Predator Helios 300 SpatialLabs Edition, the high-performance gaming laptop comes with a stereoscopic 3D display that lets users experience gaming in a more immersive way than ever. The 3D stereographic tech, as per Acer, uses the data in games to create the 3D effect as most objects in games are already developed in a 3D space.
Under the hood, the Predator Helios 300 SpatialLabs Edition packs the 12th-Gen Intel Core i9-12900H CPU paired with an Nvidia RTX 3080 GPU. As for the memory, the laptop packs 32GB of 4,800MHz DDR5 RAM and up to 2TB of PCIe Gen 4 SSD.
