There are a good number of gaming laptops that really offer a different experience in terms of specifications and features along with the modern design, and today we will take you with us towards a mobile device is one of the distinctive mobile devices that were made especially for those players who are eager to get the experience satisfactory. Welcome to Acer Predator Helios 300.
The new design dominates every detail of the Predator Helios 300
We also note that there is a clever design in terms of side edges as they become more detailed, along with small side vents and large blue-painted rear vents that give the notebook a more aggressive appearance. The opening and closing of the mobile screen makes you feel the strength of the metal joints of the display stand. Display ports include HDMI 2.0 and mini-DisplayPort.
Display screen .. Do you live up to our requirements?
The 17.3 '' Chi Mei CMN175C mobile screen comes with an IPS display panel and is one of the top class monitors widely used in powerful mobile devices. FHD display with 144Hz refresh rate will give you a better gaming experience due to the low response time of up to 3ms and high refresh rate of 144Hz.Although it does not support the G-Sync technology required today to achieve the optimal experience, it will provide brighter graphic scenes and provide better coverage of black color The brightness level is up to 306cd / m2 with a contrast ratio of 1: 800.
It supports the following color schemes sRGB 100%, NTSC 72%, AdobeRGB 77%. Added to this is a 79% screen-to-body ratio, along with 9mm thin bezels for a comfortable user experience. The answer to the question is yes, with this specification this monitor can provide an excellent gaming experience with games.
What about the power of the central processor?
Acer has used the latest 9th generation Intel Core i7-9750H processor to enhance the laptop's ability compared to previous versions that were based on the i7-8750H or i7-7700HQ processor. I will first talk about the specifications before entering the performance teams. The processor comes with a 14nm ++ manufacturing precision, with 6 cores with 12 cores at 2.6GHz as standard and Boost up to 4.0GHz per cores and 4.5GHz for one cores.
With 12MB level 3 cache and support for DDR4-2666 Mhz RAM with a built-in 45W UHD 630 GPU. The 33% increase in frequency and cache memory allowed 8% better performance with a temperature between 68 and 75 ° C during 100% compression which is considered a good temperature.
Fermat exceed 60 frame?
With the power of the central processor we mentioned, Acer had to increase the power of the GPU by choosing the NVIDIA RTX 2070 card to enhance the experience of players with frame rates exceeding 60 frame easily with various games. The power of the Turing architecture that has arrived for mobile devices is no rival from the opponent making it the undisputed number one choice when talking about a mobile device dedicated to gamers. The power of the RTX 2070 exceeds the resolution of 1080 pixels, it is able to achieve frame rates exceeding 100 frames with various games almost on the resolution of 1080 pixels and can bring you the perfect experience on the resolution of 2K display through a separate display if you think so.
It features the new RT kernel for faster real-time ray tracking for objects and environments designed with precise lighting, reflections, refractions and shadows. And Tensor nucleus to accelerate inference and train deep neural network with artificial intelligence-enhanced rendering. Advanced programmable shader techniques to improve the performance of graphically intensive experiments and complex visual effects.
But in general, as the new screen displays FHD resolution and refresh rate up to 144Hz, you will certainly achieve a perfect gaming experience, especially with the support of the card for tracking technology to experience a different visual experience by seeing the shadows, lighting and reflections in real time in a realism never tried, The advent of the MAX-Q design is an innovative approach to making the world's quietest, fastest and thinnest portable gaming console. Max-Q offers the integrated equation with NVIDIA RTX 20 graphics cards with stunning designs of 17mm thickness, narrow edges, 144Hz display and exceptional battery life, as with the new device.
RTX 2070 for mobile devices uses a 12nm TU106 kernel with 2304 codecs and 10,800 billion transistors at 1440MHz And the memory of the new generation GDDR6 size of 8GB at 14Gbps., With a bandwidth of up to 448.0GB / s consumption of 115 watts.
With this powerful specification, you are able to achieve high frame rates as we mentioned above exceeding 60 frames easily with any game and up to 100 frames with most games on FHD resolution such as Resident Evil 2 with which you get a performance level of up to 135 frames, and Battlefield V which reaches Up to 100 frames, Far Cry 5 up to 100 frames, and Star Wars Battlefront II up to 137 frames. Add to your ability to overclock the card to increase the rate of frames when needed, especially since the card is ready for this and the cooling system with this laptop is able to withstand this step if you think about it.
Cooling system of the fourth generation AEROBLADE 3D
Acer has applied the new cooling system to its latest portable Predator series, including the portable device we are talking about that reduces noise while increasing airflow towards aluminum fins to allow you as a low temperature player even during 100% continuous pressure.
The diffuser structure on the inside adopts two fans, each of which expels the air from one side and draws the air from the back to cool both the central processor and the graphics card. With regard to the distribution of copper cooling pipes, we note that there is a large copper tube connected to the central processor and the graphics card completely, while there is a copper tube that connects separately with the central processor and another connected with the graphics processor.
As for the cooling fan, it comes with a new design called BIONIC, a design inspired by the shape of the wings of the owl known for its impulse and the innovation of the Acer engineers, which helped us to see the shape of new fans, which gives us more air pumping capacity. Each of the 59 blades contained in the fan comes with a thickness of 0.1 mm and all made of metal.
To reduce air disturbances during circulation, the side wings on the edge of the upper and lower fan reduce turbulence during fast circulation, helping to achieve low noise and excellent air pumping. Of course, you can control the speed of the internal fans through the application we have mentioned, but if the fans are working with their own automatic profile, they will rotate between 2000 and 2500 rpm with a noise level of 30 to 40 dB.
In the case of inactivity the temperatures will be between 35 and 45 degrees Celsius, while in the case of full pressure it will range between 70 and 75 degrees Celsius. Add to that the speed of rotation of the fans can be more than 2500 rpm, but you have to control it manually, knowing that if you make the fans rotate at full speed Max with the activation of the CoolBoost feature you are talking about audible and clear noise that may bother you while playing.
Professional keyboard is acceptable
The keyboard comes with a good design.NumPad has a smaller panel on the right and several 15 x 15 mm key buttons that have special lighting for each of the WASD keys from below and a dedicated button to launch the Acer PredatorSense application. Also, don't forget the power button on the right of the keyboard and the Turbo button that is useful for speeding.
As we go deeper into the Synaptics keyboard specification and design evidence, we learned that the metal piece below the keyboard is stronger than before, giving you a better typing or gaming experience when you press these keys continuously. These low-noise keys on click will offer you a good user experience with a variety of gaming styles. What else? This RGB backlit keyboard comes with four zones to be able to display beautiful color consistency of all keys with the ability to easily modify them through the included application. If you ask me, is it better than a separate professional keyboard? Certainly not, where the mechanical keyboard dedicated to separate games remains the best for playing games, but thus keyboard with these specifications is able to achieve the acceptable experience with games.
What does the new WAVES NX 3D sound system offer?
With this audio system, you can turn any headset into a 360-degree surround sound system, allowing you to experience your favorite movies, music and games in real 3D sound with additional features to edit through the included app. WAVES MAXXAUDIO is capable of displaying the highest audio processing features to optimize all aspects of sound coming from mobile speakers, Note that the mobile is coming with two speakers larger size than we see with the 15-inch version.
MAXXBASS delivers a deeper audio experience and you can see the difference when activated, whether with built-in speakers or through your headphones. We haven't seen much about the audio system except that it offers a satisfying and similar experience to many top-class mobile devices.
What is the benefit of having a KILLER network card with this mobile?
All modern gaming laptops feature KILLER network cards, except for the Killer 1550i 2 × 2 Wireless AC card along with the Killer E2500 Ethernet network card. Killer Control Center 2.0 program that comes with mobile will give you control of everything related to your network in order to improve it best, especially with your games, you are able to cancel everything that disables the speed of your connection via the Internet by disabling programs and make the initial traffic of the data for the game you play Low idle level, which means a better communication experience.
Finally
We believe that this distinctive laptop from Acer was able to stand out in front of hundreds of mobile devices dedicated to players especially with the award of the Red Dot Brand 2019, which made it strongly present in the distinctive range of laptops dedicated to players, and is able to offer a range of features and strong specifications with support Up to 32GB of memory, 2 M.2 80mm NVMe 1TB with 1TB HHD, and a battery with up to 6 hours of general usage.
While we have reservations about seeing a more creative design from Acer, a G-sync display and Thunderbolt support, if you're not interested in these three points, this laptop is undoubtedly a powerful force to run your games within a high frame rate of over 60 frames and up to 100 Frame easily with powerful cooling and features will help you as a professional player looking for a satisfying experience.
