#ACER PREDATOR HELIOS 300 2021 FULL#

Inside the Helios 300, there are three slots for hard drives. You have to press hard to make it function.

And even if I did, it makes itself less responsive when in a game. It’s placed slightly right of the WASD keys, so I never accidentally touched it. The keys have LEDs underneath that you can easily customise, and the “gaming” keys (WASD) stand out from the rest as they have a darker blue outline. It’s odd and wasn’t something that needed changing. Going against nearly every other keyboard in the world, the volume up and down buttons are now function keys located on the up and down arrows with the brightness keys on the left and right arrows. Typing with it was as easy as it should be however, the keyboard has a strange layout. It’s spaced out well and has a Numpad on the right side which is great. However, Thunderbolt 4 compatibility would’ve been nice because the Helios 300 would’ve been able to support up to two 4K monitors, in case you wanted to use a better display with the laptop. On the right, it has an HDMI 2.1 port, 1x USB-A, 1x USB-C port, and a mini display port. The laptop has 2x USB-A ports, an Ethernet port, and a headphone jack on its left side. And despite its weight, I found it comfortable to use on my lap, and it wasn’t a burden to carry around. Made with aluminium framing, it has a sturdy build. This is a solid and heavy laptop weighing 2.3kg. The vents on the back look rugged and futuristic as well. The Predator Helios 300 has a clean design that doesn’t scream out, “I’m a gaming laptop!” Its most “flashy,” elements are the Predator logo and two reflective strips with blue lining on the lid. This older configuration costs $3,250, making the upgraded 30-series an affordable gaming option.

You can customise the Helios 300, but currently, the only configuration option available in New Zealand contains an Intel Core i7-10750H processor with 16GB-RAM, a 256GB-SSD, a 1TB-HDD, and an Nvidia GTX 1660ti 6GB graphics card.
