Acer Predator Helios 300 (2018) Review // Best Gaming Laptop for the Price?

Күн бұрын

Matt Moniz's review of the 8th Gen Acer Predator Helios 300. Same design but faster internals with a few important updates. Last year I called it one of the best buys for a gaming laptop at its price point. Does it still hold the same title in 2018? Watch for the full review!

If you find it heavy, maybe work out and you'll truly notice the weight is not much more than that of a feather. I had surgery on my shoulder and 1/3 month later I was carrying it around as a kid does with his toys. Albeit you're not wrong in choosing a lighter laptop because you're not wrong in the slow addition of weight and the difference it makes, it's all you. Good day

don't worry about it you've been plenty help, yeah 70-85 is perfectly fine.

Personally I think the 2017 is better if you don't care about the screen. Pros of 2017: 1. Cheaper 2. Better heat management (Monitz said 75 degrees max on 2017 model, now it's thermal throttling on 2018 model unless you have max fans which is gonna be hella noisy LOL) Pros of 2018: 1. Better processor (30-40% better) 2. Better screen Tbh if you are just gonna game you don't need the i7 8th gen, it just produces too much heat and actually thermal throttles. I'm actually gonna buy the 2017 model because of the heat issue lol.

@aaronjones3181 5 жыл бұрын

@@roslolian11 I do agree that buying something expensive that NEEDS to be modified right away is a good reason not to buy it. However, you aren't required to make the changes I stated to get good performance. It will just get you better overall performance. If you want to keep your warranty, skip the thermal paste and make the other changes. They'll still make a world of difference. There aren't many laptops(or PCs) that come out of the box running as well as they could. Not to mention something like the Helios 300 which is already a bargain with it's specs. It's similar to people buying expensive cars and tuning them. They work just fine from the factory, but making small changes to the ECU can give you a more enjoyable experience.

@@stermon1337 yes its good.i was looking for asus tuf series and rog series.rog has 120 hz display panel ,it has more asthetic body and rgb lighting.but my budget was tight it was a tn panel.tn panel will ruin viewing angles,tuf series input and output ports are shit.so i optioned for helios which is a proven model and got a reputed place in gaming community.you know india isnt a place you should buy gaming laptops.you need 93k for gtx 1060 i cannot spend that amount of money just on a laptop.but 1060 is future proof.btw i got 8300h+1050ti

Awesome video as usual mate. Now, I have a (little off topic) question, for the community in general. My laptop has an intel i5, Nvidia Gtx1050 ti and 6GB of Ram. Now, Photoshop cc lags a little when I use a ton of layers in a quite large canvas. IF I get 16Ram will the performance improve?

@RemedieX 5 жыл бұрын

This is a great video reviewing a great laptop. The heating issues are very true as sad it may be, but are overlookable. Personally, the weight does not bother me in the slightest way, I'll carry this around everywhere. I've actually done it already because I own one and have traveled hours with it on my back and overseas as well. Also, I guess you can say I'm an "edgy" guy so I like the design along with the statement that it makes. I do work on programs such as photoshop, premiere pro (mostly, with plenty effects too), etc... and it runs them just fine with good quality when viewed on other devices as well, in my honest opinion. I also play tons of games on high graphics just fine for the most part. I recommend it even though I've never owned another gaming laptop, simply because it sure works well enough to satisfy all my nerdy/gaming needs. This laptop will most likely not fail you when you need it the most. In the end, it is all in the eye of the beholder. If you do choose to get one, enjoy hope you like it!

I have the Acer Nitro 5 (2017), baby version of this beast. I just don't feel people give the touch pad justice. Will you be gaming with it? No, but the gestures are worth every penny put into it. 1,2,3, or 4 finger gestures which are all custizable with pinches and swipes and stuff. Easily switch between game, OBX, or anything you want in a swipity swipe.
