Helios Series

Lately, Acer Predator Helios 300 and 500 series laptops are making a big name for themselves in Nepal as they pack super compelling specs at a reasonable price. In terms of specs and price, the Predator Helios series gaming laptops sit well between the Acer Nitro series and Acer Predator Triton Series. Nitro series encompasses the budget gaming audiences whereas the Triton series caters to professional gamers, who need top-suited specs to game on. And Helios laptops have been the sweet spot, who are looking to land in between. Over the years, this series of laptops have garnered immense popularity. Not just in Nepal but all over the globe. And Acer’s value-focused approach is to be credited for that. Due to the huge demands for Helios laptops in Nepal, we have also brought some handpicked models, which users have preferred the most. And here they go:

Acer Predator Helios 300 2018 PH315-51

The 2018 model was the first Helios laptop to top the chart as the best-selling device. But that’s plausible as the Acer Predator Helios 300 2018 PH315-51 had some compelling specs up its sleeves yet was available at a reasonable price.

The laptop looks and feels sturdy and well built. Under the hood, it packs one of the most powerful Hexa-Core processors. With the 8^th Gen Core i7-8750H processor, you can run everything on the device and you will still get a breezy performance. To help you multitask between several apps and games, you’ll get 16GB of DDR4 RAM to accompany the processor. On top of that, you also get a little bit of futureproofing over there. The RAM is expandable up to 32GB. So whenever you feel longing for more RAM, you can toss in additional RAM sticks and the Helios 300 2018 will still be cool about it.

Since the Predator Helios 300 2018 is a gaming laptop, you will also get a graphics card on this model. It flaunts a GTX 1060 graphics card, which is quite powerful. It features 6GB of VRAM and sits slightly below the GTX 1660Ti in terms of performance. That being said, the combination of i7-8750H and NVIDIA GTX 1060 delivers a smooth gaming performance in all kinds of gaming situations.

Even in the storage front, Acer has been remarkably generous. The device has got 1TB HDD and 256GB SSD both at the same time. So you will never get to complain about the storage volume or its Read/Write speed.

Acer Predator Helios 300 2019 PH315-52

Fixing the flaws and setting up new standards, Acer brought Predator Helios 300 2019 PH315-52 gaming laptops. The most notable visual change has to be the color of the accents. Acer dropped the red accents on the Helios 300 2018 and Blue one instead. But the most noteworthy upgrade was on the GPU front. Acer ditched the GTX 10-series GPU and employed Turing based 16-series and RTX GPUs. And like always, Acer incorporated generation of processors for its new generation of laptops.

The laptops come all suited with the 9^th gen processor. The modest variant has a Quad-Core (4-core) i5-9300H processor whereas the more powerful ones have Hexa-core (6-core) CPUs up their sleeves. Although there hasn’t been a significant upgrade in terms of performance from the 8^th gen to the 9^th gen model, you’ll surely get some leap in performance due to generational upgrade.

As for the graphics performance, you will get GTX 1660Ti goodness with the base model. And this new Turing-based graphics card offers a significant boost in performance over the GTX 1060 in the 2018 model. If you have more to spend on a gaming laptop, you get even mightier Helios 300 2019 laptop with RTX 2060 graphics. With RTX 2060 GPU on the board, you can play all sorts of games with absolute fluidity. But the specialty about the RTX 2060 GPU is that you can play Ray Tracing games with DLSS on it.

Another biggest improvement in the 2019 model was on the display front. Unlike the 2018 model, 2019 models flaunted color-accurate panels with 72% NTSC (100% sRGB) Color Coverage. With this color accuracy, you can employ this laptop for content creation works as well. Furthermore, you will get a 144Hz refresh rate in the higher-end models.

Acer Predator Helios 300 2020 PH315-53

New year, new series of Acer Predator Helios gaming laptops. That’s how Acer has been continuing its tradition. Likewise, this year we’ve got the Acer Predator Helios 300 2020 PHP315-53.

As for the design, the laptop looks vaguely similar to the last year’s model. It feels slightly bulky, which is the usual trait of gaming laptops. Yet the laptop feels quite sturdy on hold and on the use. As for the performance, you will get a Hexa-core Core i7-10750H processor. Acer ditched the i5 model this time around. With a new processor under the hood, you will get better performance and smoother navigation. And this processor is paired with up to RTX 2070 Max-Q graphics card, which can take your gaming experience to the next level. If you don’t have much cash to shell out, you can get the cheaper models with RTX 2060 graphics cards.

Even on the display front, there has been quite an upgrade. You can get up to 240Hz refresh rate. However, you will get this feature only on the variant with RTX 2070 Max-Q. If you opt for the base variant, you will get a 144Hz refresh rate display just like on the 2019 model.
