![]() It’s not quite ultrabook thin, but ultrabooks don’t need to pack in a big GPU, and a massive fan to keep their systems cool. When so many manufacturers just provide simple rectangular slots and grilles, it’s these touches of detail that elevate the Helios 300 to the next level.Īll of this performance is wrapped up in a remarkably slim frame. It’s a weird thing to get excited about, especially when it’s something you may rarely see given its location, but I’m a sucker for styling and attention to detail. ![]() The Helios 300 sports an aggressive pair of vents at the back with a metallic blue grille hidden behind them, and it looks like an inverted version of those found on the Lamborghini Veneno. ![]() Much like how a normal road car will have a fairly plain exhaust, maybe a twin-pipe if it’s got a bit of grunt, it’s when you get into hypercar territory that the designers start to give their cars flair. The real giveaway that this is a gaming powerhouse comes when your eyes move down to the air vent exhausts. At the rear of the Helios 300 is where my favourite design elements lie.Ī pair of blue-hued reflective strips are inlaid on either side of the cover, along with a centralised Predator logo that lights up in an icy blue. A strip of air intakes just above the F keys hints that this is a performance device, but there’s nothing distracting. Just below the slim bezels of the display is a discretely embossed Predator logo, but there’s no over the top styling. It’s a subtle touch, but one that catches the eye. Running across the leading edge of the laptop, and surrounding the touchpad, is a beautiful chrome effect strip. There are a few flourishes that identify this as a gaming laptop, but the overall styling, especially when opened up and in-situ on a desk, is stunningly stylish. Big respect to Acer for their honesty.Īcer has crafted a beautiful piece of tech with the Helios 300. The review unit we have is an actual production unit, so it comes in the same spec you would receive if you were to buy one, without upgraded RAM or SSDs that could influence the review score. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the Acer Predator Helios 300! I recently reached out to the good folks over at Acer, and they provided me with a laptop to try out that should easily surpass anything that the current-gen of consoles can manage. The only reason I didn’t ditch consoles right there and then was because the AMD GPU/CPU combo I had was only entry-level and not quite as good as the mid-gen refresh Xbox One X or PS4 Pro. Updates are mostly automatic (unless you choose to manually update), you have far more options for control inputs (PlayStation and Xbox pads, mouse and keyboard, steering wheels etc), the selection of games is huge, and the prices are much cheaper. The conclusion I reached was that PCs have come on a long way since the early 2000s (mind blown, right?) These days, it’s very rare that software and apps don’t just work straight out of the box, as it were. Not so long ago I wrote an opinion piece about how easy it was for a long time console gamer to switch and do all of their gaming on a PC.
