Acer predator helios 300 gaming laptop review 1080p#
The screen on this particular SKU is a 144hz 1080p panel, you may check your preferred SKU if your local models support various other display options. Opening up the laptop we now get the most “cyber” looking part of the Helios 300 thanks to its signature keyboard. Something I need to note as well is we have a Kensington lock notch on the top-left edge as well for added security. To keep thing clean, Predator has placed the DC port on the back which is something I always like seeing. Lastly on the left I/O we have an HDMI port and a mini DisplayPort. The USB-C supports charging and what I believe is USB3.2 Gen2 (10Gbps) but could be sharing bandwidth with the type-A port beside it.
Shifting to the other side we a USB-C port and another USB-A port. Going back to the side I/O we have two USB3.2 Gen1 (5Gbps) ports and an audio combo jack. Going through the sides we have the input arrays on this laptop starting on the left we have a physical LAN port powered off a Killer gigabit ethernet which is also supplying us with the WIFI. The vents are stylized following the Predator theme and are well integrated and hides the fact that they’re giant vents. Normally this would be the only metal part of the laptop but as we’ll see later, there’s more which is a very welcome choice.Īs laptops have now gone from user-serviceably to fully enclosed, we only see an intake area at the bottom of the Helios 300 that supplies fresh air to our CPU and GPU. It still features the large, light-up logo on the top cover with slits running on the top. Closer LookĪs a Predator laptop, the Helios 300 rendition this year follows the modern trend from Predator of a futuristic chassis with a cleaner design. Our review unit is the Acer Predator Helios 300 featuring Intel’s 10 th-generation laptop CPU paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 laptop GPU which is a decent mobile combo that should offer a compelling value proposition for those looking to get a modern laptop that can serve both entertainment as well as work duties without breaking the bank.
In this review we’ll take a look at an Intel Core i5-10300H-powered laptop, which was launched last year, and see if how it handles in real world content creation scenarios as well as gaming. Modern laptops are also very powerful with top end models already sporting 8-cores but do you really need to go all the way? Less heat means the need for a larger cooling solution is gone so our laptops are now thinner and simpler. This is thanks to advancements in components to improve efficiency and decrease while delivering utmost performance. A lot of the laptops in this market have evolved from hulking behemoth to more traditionally lighter design. We’ve reached the point where performance gaming laptops have now permeated every facet of computing and they now serve far beyond the traditional gaming use thanks to both its performance and value offering.
