The size difference between the Predator Helios 300 2018 & 2019 versions
The previous years’ model was premium in terms of specs but this new Helios 300 feels premium and there isn’t as much plastic as there was before. Acer made the form factor so much smaller, sleeker and more durable and premium. I was actually surprised, pleasantly by how the new Helios 300 is. When you look at the overall design of the new Helios 300 you can see right away that it’s reminiscent of the prior year and even the Nitro 5 but once you actually grab and open it up you’ll see how completely different it is. In the case of the 2019 edition of the Predator Helios 300, you can figure it out right away. When buying a new device or upgrading, the first thing that comes to mind is “What’s new?”. What did we think? Yes, it does but for a bunch of different reasons. We wanted to try and play some games with that new GPU and see if it really offers better performance than the Nitro 5’s GTX 1650 to warrant the extra couple of hundred dollars price difference. Why? It’s simple, it’s a mid-range priced machine that came standard with Nvidia’s upgraded version of the 1060 in the GTX 1660ti.

This year, Acer refreshed not only the Nitro but the Acer Predator series but the one we requested to review the most was the Acer Predator Helios 300. We here at GStyle reviewed both of those machines and while neither one of those machines blew us away per se with mindblowing spec sheet power, they did blow us away with what you got for the money and for us, that matters more. Both were tailored for the gamer but not only that, they were tailored for the gamer who wanted to play the better games on the market but they didn’t have big money to spend. One was the Acer Nitro 5 and the other was the Acer Predator Helios 300 (2018). Let me know of you have anymore questions.Last year Acer put out two very solid and affordable gaming laptops. Again jarrodtech has looked at both of these laptops and will be coming out with a complete review of both within a few days or so, so I suggest checking him out. I mean if you have the money go for the scar 3 but this is another great option if your looking to spend less money. This laptop is 1200 while the new scar is 2000+. As for this or the Scar 3 it really depends on your price point. If you want a more in depth look I suggest watching jarrodtech as he goes over all you really need to know about this laptop. Overall it's a really solid and sleek laptop.

One more point the blue accents are a great upgrade from the older version and doesn't really have that "I'm a gamer look at me" feeling when you go out in public. The fans get pretty loud if under a heavy load so you probably want to use a pair of headphones but I don't see it as a downside as that is usually standard with most gaming laptops. The keyboard keys are spaced out and feel really good. Its pretty comfortable gaming on over long periods of time. The temperature is pretty decent on heavy loads and a lot better than the previous model and is really well vented and never broke over 45C, I also heardthe temp can also be reduced if you undervolt the cpu though I have never actually tried it myself. The screen also goes really bright as I can use it outside with no problems and the 144hz screen feels really smooth and looks and feels much better than the older version with the thinner bezels.
Seems like it gets the best performance for the price point playing all modern games at 100+ fps on high settings. I think It's a really good gaming laptop for the price point and has a really nice feel.
