Meet the Acer Predator Helios 300
With its GeForce GTX 1060 graphics, the Helios 300 will run most any game you throw at it with agility.
A Metal-Clad Cover
The lid bears two crimson streaks etched on either side of a gray-metal Predator logo.
I Need to Vent
The rear exhaust, too, is bordered in red plastic.
Sleek Side View
The chassis measures 1.1 by 15.4 by 10.4 inches (HWD), and it weighs 5.95 pounds.
The Left Edge's Ports...
On this edge is a Gigabit Ethernet port joined by an HDMI port, a single USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C port, a USB 3.0 port, and an SD card slot.
...and the Ones on the Right
Here, you get two USB 2.0 ports, a headphone jack, and the connection point for the AC adapter.
Off-Angle Viewing
The 15.6-inch screen has a native resolution of 1,920 by 1,080 pixels. The screen has a matte finish, so, even in bright lighting conditions, you won't get a lot of glare from the surface. It's also viewable even when you're not looking at the laptop straight-on.
A Solid Deck
The Predator Helios 300 has a standard chiclet-style keyboard layout. The keys have more bounce than other like-priced gaming-laptop keyboards I've tried.
Another Look at the Keys
The WASD movement keys are highlighted in red.
Sound Down Below
The speakers are to the left and right of two rubber anti-skid pads on the underside of the laptop.
