The number pad to the right of the keyboard includes a dedicated shortcut key to Acer's PredatorSense gaming program (more on that later) and the power button. It's an arrangement I prefer, especially as I go from typing to the trackpad and back. The trackpad is centered with the keyboard and not the housing of the laptop. As for the display, its 1,920 x 1,080 IPS panel with a refresh rate of 144Hz and 300nits of brightness. It’s light enough to throw in your backpack and carry it to a friend’s house for a night of gaming without worry. The overall footprint isn't much larger than comparable gaming laptops with a 15.6-inch display, and it’s not back-breaking heavy. The Helios 300 measures 14.23 x 10.01 x 0.90-inches and weighs 5.07 pounds.

I'm not a big fan of over the top designs that scream look at me, I have a gaming laptop while sitting in Starbucks sipping on a latte. I can even see the new color peeking out at me through the cooling vents on the back, which make the laptop look kind of angry, albeit in a subdued way. The new color scheme is found around the trackpad, on the lid, and under a handful of keys on the keyboard. There are several new blue highlights found throughout the Helios 300. Ports: 1 x USB-C Gen 2 port, 3 x USB 3.1, 1 x HDMI 2.0, 1 x miniDisplayPort, 1 x Ethernet, 1 x audio port.Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti with Max-Q (6GB GDDR6).Processor: Intel Core i7-9750H at 2.6GHz (12M Cache, up to 4.50 GHz).Here are the specifications of the $1,199 model I've been testing: And that's been my exact experience over the past week of testing -Games have run impressively smooth, without any sign of slowing down.Īcer, of course, has multiple configurations of the Helios 300, ranging from the $1,199 model I tested all the way up to $2,399 for an RTX 2070 GPU, a 17.3-inch display, and 512GB of storage. When Nvidia first announced the 16-series GPUs, the company promised a 1.5x boost in performance and the ability to run Apex Legends or Fortnite at over 100 frames per second.
What makes the GTX 1660 special is its Turing architecture, although it forgoes real-time ray tracing.
