In terms of CPU clock speeds, during heavy loads – for example during my render test – the CPU was comfortably able to sustain clock speeds around 4GHz. And when you pair that with the 144Hz refresh rate display this thing is an all-rounder. As you can see, you can comfortably play at 1080P with the highest settings at framerates above 100FPS in most titles. However, this is a gaming laptop and it does that job really well. ![]() Clearly, this laptop is a fantastic option if you plan on creating content. Taking a look at our standard Premiere Pro render test, in which we take a 13 minute 4K video and export it to the YouTube H.264 preset, the Helios 300 took 10 minutes and 43 seconds to complete that task, which is of course thanks to Intel Quick Sync. Even comparing it to the Legion Y545 – which features the same Intel CPU – the Helios takes the edge by a little bit because it’s cooling solution and its ability to sustain higher clock speeds is just remarkable, which I’ll get to in a bit. The Helios just destroys the similarly priced ASUS Zephyrus Ryzen notebook that I looked at a while back. Moving on to performance, the Core i7-9750H performed extremely well as you can see above. This leaves one question: Is the Predator Helios 300 the best Bang for the Buck gaming laptop that you can buy right now? Let’s find out. In fact, you can pick it up for about $100 less on Amazon right now. ![]() All of which will cost you $1,200 USD, which is an insane deal. Now speaking of hardware, that’s one of the main selling points of the Helios 300 because it has an Intel Core i7-9750H 6-core/12-thread processor, 16GB of RAM in dual-channel mode, a 256GB NVMe SSD, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti non-Max-Q graphics card, and a 1080P IPS 144Hz display. I can’t wait to check out what the performance is like and how well it cools the hardware. Well it’s finally here and what’s even cooler is that I can now compare it to some similarly priced notebooks. Everyone has been talking about this laptop, and every time we posted a notebook review the comments always brought up the Helio 300 and that we should check it out. It’s time to finally take a look at the most hyped up gaming laptop on the market, the one that you all have been requesting us to review: the Acer Predator Helios 300. ![]()
