It’s also worth noting that it is generally better than the i7-7700HQ. Put it in a fight against a Intel Core i5 from the U-series and of course it’s going to perform better because the latter is meant more for low power / efficiency. It did well for the CPU test compared to other Intel Core i5 laptops we’ve had recently because it’s powered by an i5-8300H CPU. Of course, the OpenGL test managed to show FPS that high because of the GTX 1060 6GB inside of the Acer Predator Helios 300 gaming laptop. On the other hand for Cinebench, it actually performed better than expected. ![]() Simply put, if you keep your installs to the SSD and all your other data on the HDD, it should work pretty good. The 5400RPM HDD is kinda slow but that is to be expected. From the results we got, it works pretty good and will provide you fast boot / loading times. Simply put, we should expect something like the usual SATA III SSDs and not NVMe SSDs. As we knew from the specs, it uses an M.2 SSD (specifically SK Hynix M.2) as well as a 5400RPM HDD (WD Blue).

Acer Predator Helios 300 Specifications CPU It’s only a colour change with no differences in overall design so this a matter of taste rather than practicality. It’s the most gamer-looking laptop you could have nowadays.Īlternatively, you can also opt for the same laptop but with a white chassis and gold trims instead, which I feel has a classier feel to it. Some may consider it rather dated but to be fair, if it looks good already, you don’t really have to do much to change it, at least not immediately unless the design itself has a major flaw. Overall, I really like the looks of the Acer Predator Helios 300 gaming laptop. Just put your hand in front of there and you can feel warm air blowing through it. ![]() Well, this is also for ventilation as half of it is right in front of where the AeroBlade 3D fans are located so it’s easier to exhaust most of the hot air out through here. On the back, you can see what appears to be grills. While there are small rubber stands which help give it a bit of a lift, it would be better if you can find something to make it stand a bit further away from the surface to maximize cooling potential. There’s also plenty of slits which is for ventilation / air intake. On the bottom of the laptop, there are two small openings on the left and right, which is where the speakers are situated. The display is still wonderful to look at. There are no narrow bezels here so as a person who has been seeing that a lot lately, this does make the laptop feel rather big but it’s not a bad thing. Upon lifting up the hood, you’ll be greeted with a full-sized red-backlit chiclet keyboard (with WASD outlined in red), a trackpad, and 15.6-inch Full HD IPS display. On the right side, you have the proprietary charging port, a couple of USB-A ports, and the combo audio jack. It’s worth noting that the USB-C port here is not a Thunderbolt port. On the left side, you have the Kensington lock, an RJ45 LAN port, a USB-C port, a HDMI port, a USB-A port, and a full-sized SD card reader. There’s a good amount of ports on the Acer Predator Helios 300 gaming laptop. The aggressive look combined with a somewhat angular design, the Predator logo on the center of the hood, as well as the black chassis and red trims, it’s hard to find anything else that personifies gaming as much as this one does. Right off the bat, the first thing you’re definitely going to notice with the Acer Predator Helios 300 gaming laptop is how much the design screams “gamer”.
