You also get Killer Pro Wireless, which not only improves your Wi-Fi connection, but also allows for monitoring, prioritising your games for all network activity, and even the ability to set the laptop as a Wi-Fi extender, which is pretty cool. But this is one isn’t the one with phone app integration, which the more expensive Predators are getting. The Predatorsense app remains solid, offering performance and thermal monitors, the ability to change fan speeds and RGB customisation.

The software suite is as you’d expect from Acer- pretty good. And despite it being flat chiclet keys, are pretty nice to type on, just the right amount of clicky-ness. The keyboard is a fully-fledged one with a numpad. There is not only a chrome trimming but also a blue accent surrounding the touchpad. The side edges are nicely curved and nice to touch. On the bottom cover, there’s an aggressive design as well which you won’t ever notice, but looks pretty nice.īut the matte surfaces, while looks clean, will leave a lot of smudges very visible. Those vents at the back look like the designers took inspiration out of a Lamborghini car, using big, bodacious and angular curves to give them a brutish, aggressive look to it. Similar to last year, it still retains a brutish look to it. Do Not Touch.” Not something you’d see often on a gaming laptop, but at least they know and are honest with that. The laptop has a warning in between the two back vents saying “Hot Surface. The WASD, arrow keys and dedicated Predator button have blue keycaps, but it’s more of an accent since all the keys have black with white lettering on top.īut to top it all off, all the visible heat sinks from the vents are tinted blue, which is ridiculous but also looks pretty neat. While the two lines on the back make the blue accent obvious, there are many other nice trims of blue. The big change here is the Helios 300 ditching the red accents in favour of light blue, making in line with the rest of the Predator lineup. But it’s filled to the brim with nice details up close.

In short, this is a beefy update to the Helios 300, but unfortunately, it has this one big Achilles heel that stops it from being an easy recommendation.Īt first glance, the Acer Predator Helios 300 may look bland and generic. Not only that, but it also sports better innards in keeping up with the year’s standards for gaming laptop specs. Acer has updated its entry-level Predator gaming laptop for 2019, now more in line with the rest of the line aesthetics-wise.
