The blue trims are complemented by the laptop’s overall angular design along with the top screen and along the front of the device.
#ACER PREDATOR HELIOS 300 REVIEW 17 INCH UPGRADE#
This offers quick access to the two memory slots, you can upgrade to 32GB, and what looks like a compartment for adding a second SATA 3-based 2.5-inch hard drive or a solid-state drive.Ībout the only other blue accent, you’ll find on Acer’s laptop is a thin blue line outlining the touchpad, and accented WASD keys for right-handed gamers, Lefties will do with the arrows. The bottom plays host to the feet and two easily removable pop-out lids secured with a tiny screw in each. The back is dotted with exhaust vents accented by two blue lines, one of which expands across the bottom of the device in an appealing angled design. The lid is a brushed, hard plastic surface with a Predator logo along with two metallic, vertical lines that are not illuminated. It sports a black design, save for blue accents sprinkled here and there. On the outside, the new Helios 300 PH315-53-72XD has the typical look of a gaming laptop. With those specs, its listing price is pretty fair, and the 5.5-pound weight won’t bog you down on your daily commute. Looking into the specs, we can certainly see why the Helios 300 is powerful (relatively, anyway): Boasting Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 2060, a 10 th generation Core i7-10750H, 16GB of RAM, 1080p/144Hz panel, and 512GB SSD, it’s a decently configured gaming laptop.
For that reason, we decided to bring in this laptop to get a closer look at what it offers – and why it’s managed to hit the high echelons. Now, the model that’s gaming so well is basically a refreshed model of the initial version, but it doesn’t carry the marked-up price that we didn’t like in last year’s model. We reviewed the original Acer Predator Helios 300 here and called it a “superb gaming notebook.” Months later we reviewed an updated model with an Intel 8 th-gen Core i7, clad in an eye-catching design with a markup in the price of an extra hundred bucks, our opinion was far muted. The result should be better gaming and productivity performance at the same affordable price.
