As part of Acer’s Predator lineup, this device is built for enthusiasts who demand top-notch performance without sacrificing style or portability.
Design and Display
The Helios 300 boasts a robust aluminum chassis with angular lines and aggressive styling cues that scream “gaming laptop.” The lid features a distinctive red stripe that adds a touch of flair to an otherwise understated design. Weighing in at just over 5 pounds, this device is surprisingly lightweight for its size.
The 15.6-inch Full HD display boasts a crisp 144Hz refresh rate and NVIDIA G-Sync technology, ensuring silky-smooth visuals even during the most intense gaming sessions. The screen’s color accuracy and contrast are also commendable, making it an excellent choice for both gamers and content creators.
Performance
Under the hood, the Helios 300 packs a punch with its 10th Gen Intel Core i7-10750H processor, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti graphics card. This potent combination delivers blistering performance in demanding games like Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and The Witcher 3.
For those who need even more power, Acer offers an optional upgrade to the Intel Core i9-10880H processor, which brings an extra boost of speed and efficiency. Storage options include a 512GB NVMe SSD for rapid loading times and responsive performance.
Cooling System
One of the standout features of the Helios 300 is its advanced cooling system, dubbed “Dual Liquid Cooling.” This innovative setup employs two separate liquid coolers to keep both the CPU and GPU at optimal temperatures, even during extended gaming sessions. The result? A whisper-quiet operation that’s almost unheard of in high-performance laptops.
Audio and Connectivity
The Helios 300 features a pair of Harman Kardon speakers with Dolby Atmos support, providing immersive audio that complements its stunning visuals. Connectivity options abound, including three USB-A ports, one USB-C port with Thunderbolt 3, an HDMI output, and an Ethernet jack for wired networking.
Battery Life
Acer claims up to 6 hours of battery life on a single charge, but we found it more like 4-5 hours in our real-world testing. Still, this is a reasonable trade-off for the Helios 300’s incredible performance and features.
Gaming Performance
We put the Helios 300 through its paces with a range of popular games to see how it performs. The results were consistently impressive:
- Assassin’s Creed Odyssey (1080p): 60-80 FPS
- The Witcher 3 (1080p): 70-90 FPS
- Fortnite (1080p): 120-150 FPS
Conclusion
The Acer Predator Helios 300 is an exceptional gaming laptop that checks all the right boxes. Its potent performance, sleek design, and innovative cooling system make it a top choice for enthusiasts who demand the best.
While its battery life may not be as impressive as some other laptops on the market, the Helios 300’s raw power and features more than make up for this shortfall. With prices starting at around $1,000, this device is an investment worth considering for anyone serious about gaming or content creation.
