Choosing the best laptop among so many options can be very overwhelming. There are a lot of factors to look for in terms of finding the best suited gaming laptop for you.

The Acer Predator Helios 300 offers a perfect balance between performance and price. 

The Acer Predator Helios 300 holds its value as one of the best mid-range gaming laptops. With its overclockable graphics chip and 144Hz display, the Helios 300 delivers an excellent gaming experience.

The Acer Predator Helios 300 is an upgraded model from its past release last 2020. With a 144Hz display and slight changes to other features. Although on a first glance, it looks just like its first release but on a closer look, you will discover that Acer improved on a few features such as the thermal design or display options.

Design, Dimension & Weight 

Measured at (W x D x H) 363.2 x 254 x 22.8 mm and weighs 2499.2 g, the Helios 300 on the heavier side, however, it is relatively compact for a 15.6-inch gaming laptop.

It comes in an aluminum coat used for the interior and lid and is finished with black-blue color with matte finishes. The air vents are styled grandly and its backlit RGB keyboard is the typical keyboard for the average user. 

Measured at (W x D x H) 363.2 x 254 x 22.8 mm and weighs 2499.2 g, the Helios 300 on the heavier side, however, it is relatively compact for a 15.6-inch gaming laptop.

Processor (CPU) and Memory (RAM) Performance

The Helios 300 comes with a core i7-10750H. A new feature for this model is the single-button Turbo overclock mode. This sets the extreme GPU profile and pushes the fans to their max. The fans help reduce temperature but with extra fan noise to deal with the excess heat, perfect for any game that you play.

Furthermore, thanks to the faster spinning fans on the Turbo Mode, the processor can run at slightly higher clocks in sustained loads.

Moreover, on Turbo Mode, the i7-10750 processor settles for clock speeds of 3.8+ GHz with a TDP of 70+W in all runs.

With its 16GB DDR4 2933 MHz RAM, the Helios 300 doesn’t struggle with its performance. It performs well in long gaming sessions, perfect for any gamer who likes to play long hours. 

Storage options and Performance

The Helios 300 is equipped with a 1 x 1 TB SSD, precisely the WDC PC SN730.It also supports up to 3 drives via M.2 Slots and comes with an upgradeability feature. The lack of drive space for your games can be avoided by simply adding an additional 1 TB or even 2 TB hard drive.

Graphics Card Performance

The Helios 300 took an all-out approach to graphics with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q GPU, an 8GB RAM and an integrated Intel UHD GPU.  The graphics card is one of the most important components when looking for a gaming laptop, and the Helios 300 truly delivered with theirs.

Overall

The Acer Predator Helios 300 offers a perfect balance between performance and price. It is a gaming laptop for those who do not want to spend much but still need swift operations and smooth frame rates.

The main thing to focus on here is that this gaming laptop packs enough raw power for the price, enough to handle the most demanding games even at ultra-settings. This Acer also boasts a 144Hz refresh rate, which you can only find in pricier models, and a beautiful color reproduction, which both lend to its superb display.
