Acer has announced a refresh of the Predator Helios 300. Now featuring Intel Comet Lake-H processors and up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q. The latter is overclockable and can be paired with a 240 Hz, FHD and IPS 15.6-inch display. The new Predator Helios 300 will go on sale in China this month before reaching Africa, Europe, the Middle East and the US in July.

New 2020 ACER Predator Helios 300 barely receives an upgrade. The 10th gen i7-10750H is still based off of Intel's 14nm processor architecture that was used in 2018 and 2019 only that Intel had increased the clock frequency for a higher Turbo speed. Whoopee! not much of a difference. Still offering the same Graphics cards except adding the RTX 2070 Max-Q if willing to pay the price and interested in Ray Tracing which no one uses. Same goes for the 240Hz IPS panel providing you want to pay the premium price but what about having 400 to 500 NITs and better sRGB, Adobe RGB and gamut and such for Video Editing that you still can not get from this 144Hz IPS panel. Then with the 10th gen you get a slight boost with memory modules speed going from 2666MHz to 2933MHz which provides exactly what in performance. Hopefully, you will find a 2019 Predator Helios 300 for $1,000 or less. Save your money and maybe in 2021 ACER will do better. No reason if you own a 2018 or 2019 Helios 300 to purchase the 2020 model. Look into the Helios 700 or Triton 300 that cost more or the lower affordable priced Nitro 7 in the ACER brand. Also Lenovo Y740 or Razer Blade 15 if willing to better Acer. The 2020 Acer Predator Helios 300 is an excellent choice providing you do not already own the 2018 or 2019 Helios 300 and you want to do Gaming. Still expensive but you can always find something else more expensive.
