It's pretty much silent when you're just doing daily desktop tasks, such as surfing the internet or hammering out the odd word document, and its fans never felt like a nuisance when I was playing a game. Indeed, after the deafening fans of the Asus ROG Zephyrus M15, it's nice to have a laptop that doesn't sound like a jet engine every time you fire up a game. At £1399 / $1390, it's not the cheapest RTX 2060 laptop around, but there's still a lot to like here regardless. My review sample came with an Intel Core i7-10750H processor, 16GB of RAM, a full-fat Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 graphics chip, a 512GB SSD and a 1920x1080 IPS panel with a 144Hz refresh rate, but there are other models available with an RTX 2070 GPU, larger storage configurations and a 240Hz display.

It shares a very similar, angular design, albeit with thicker screen bezels, a chunkier chassis and a full-blown number pad built into the keyboard, and its generous smattering of ports give just as much flexibility when it comes to connecting external devices or hooking it up to another display.Īcer hasn't skimped on specs, either. The Helios 300 has a lot in common with the Triton 500. Ports: 1x HDMI, 1x miniDisplayPort, 3x USB 3.1 ports, 1x USB-C, 1x Ethernet port, combined headphone and microphone jack.As their entry-level gaming laptop, the Helios 300 isn't quite as slick as the Triton 500 when it comes to its overall design, but the Core i7, RTX 2060 model I've been sent for review still packs a pretty decent punch all the same. The Helios 300 on test today sits at the other end of Acer's Predator line-up. Their high-end Triton 500 laptop remains one of my favourite gaming laptops to date thanks to its sensible specs and quiet fans, and their flagship, swivel-screen Triton 900 is both brilliant and bonkers in equal measure. For optimal performance please use a certified Acer power adapter or USB Power Delivery device.Acer's Predator gaming laptops have always impressed in the past.
