 Hi, this is LaptopMedia and maybe you've already come across our detailed review of the Acer Predator Helios 300. Today we'll be taking a look at 5 specific reasons to buy or skip out on this laptop. In terms of design, Acer Predator Helios 300 features aluminum and plastic in its build which we found quite robust and reliable. For example, the lid is made of aluminum and has a plastic patterned element on top. When putting pressure in the middle, there are no noticeable ripples on the LCD screen and you can easily open up your laptop with one hand, thanks to the hinges with good linear travel. The bottom side features black roughened plastic while the interior incorporates a brushed aluminum surface with chamfered edges around the trackpad and these sides making it appear not only sleek but also quite sturdy. With a starting price of around $1100, the Helios 300 packs almost anything you would ever need from a 15.6 inch mid-range gaming laptop. Add to that an IPS display and quality keyboard all packed in a stylish mostly aluminum design and you'll surely be turned in some heads. The Notebook's chassis tips the scale at 2.5 kilograms and it is also 26mm thin making it more portable compared to its rivals such as Acer Aspire VX15 and Lenovo Legion Y720. Another important advantage of the laptop is that it's PWM free across all brightness levels which means it can be used for long periods of time without causing a necessary eye strain. This is great news especially for users that spend most of their day in front of a monitor. You can also check out our health guard profile that helps limit the negative blue light emissions while preserving color accuracy as much as possible. The only major con we have to point out is the poor sRGB coverage of just 54% and the low maximum brightness of 299 candelabra square meter which slightly spoils the gaming experience. However, our custom profiles take matters to another level in terms of color accuracy, white balance and gamma. Following the rivals of the Acer Predator Helios 300, a few definitely stand out. The Dell Inspiron 7577, Lenovo Legion Y720, Acer Aspire V15 Nitro and HP Omen 15. Well, that's it for us today. Keep up to date with the latest on mobile computing at laptop media. And as always, see you next time.
