Additionally, the metal that extends down the sides has squared-off edges at the bottom that I found uncomfortable when I used the Predator Helios 300 in my lap.Ī minor change for 2020 is that the lid no longer has the Predator lettering, leaving just the backlit teal logo and non-backlit stripes.
Although it's very sturdy, the front and rear corners of the chassis are sharp. The metal design isn't without compromises. It does a classier job of being in this middle tier than the Lenovo Legion 5i and the Dell G5 15 SE (2020), whose all-plastic designs aren't as chic as the Predator's aluminum top and lid. The Predator Helios 300 sits between Acer's entry-level gamer, the Nitro 5 (2020), and its top-shelf Predator Triton 500 (2020). It’s our new Editor’s Choice holder for mid-range 15-inch gaming notebooks.

Asus’ ROG Zephyrus G14 remains an outstanding choice for a more portable gamer, but the Predator Helios 300 checks just about every box and then some if you’re after a larger screen.
It put both to good use in our gaming benchmarks, where it produced best-in-class gaming frame rates while almost doubling the battery life of its predecessor. Now two generations matured, this 2020 version (starts at $1,199 $1,499 as tested) is largely a hardware refresh of last year’s model with Intel’s “Comet Lake” silicon and up to a 240Hz screen. Can a metal-clad gaming laptop be had without dropping some serious coin? You bet: Acer's Predator Helios 300 has been making that possible since 2018.
