The Predator Sense software on board makes GPU overclocking easy and keeps users informed about the system and manage everything at one place. Acer has also put AeroBlade 3D fans in the gaming laptop which they have claimed to keep the device cool.

In terms of display, the Acer Predator Helios 300 sports a 15.6-inch Full HD IPS display, which is big enough for gamers on the move but small enough to fit in a backpack. The Laptop also comes with two types of storage – HDD and SSD. There is a 256GB SSD which makes the laptop run smoothly and provides a much better responsiveness and speed, as compared to HDD. But there is also a 1TB HDD inside which will let users store everything from movies to games to pictures and literally everything else, which doesn’t need an instant executive at any point of time during usage.

The Acer Predator Helios 300 looks really good if we talk about the design. It looks quite futuristic with stylish matte black chassis, red accents, and aggressive air vents. There is an iron red LED backlit keyboard as well. The Dolby Audio Premium and Acer TrueHarmony offer an immersive audio experience. Skype for Business Certification ensures conversations are clear and lag-free.

In terms of connectivity, the Acer Predator Helios 300 comes with next-generation 802.11ac 2×2 MIMO technology, which is said to offer two times faster wireless speeds than 1×1 solutions and up to five times faster than the traditional 802.11n 1×1 solution. Other connectivity options of this gaming laptop include a USB 3.1 Type-C port, a USB 3.0 port which features power-off USB charging, two USB 2.0 ports, Gigabit Ethernet port and an HDMI 2.0 connection.
