Why We Like It – Acer Predator Helios 300 i7 9750H

See every detail of your champion in League of Legends with the Acer Predator Helios 300 i7 9750H, a gaming laptop that runs LoL on ultra-high with frames far past 60.

Pros
  • Runs ultra-high w/ this rig
  • 144Hz refresh rate
  • SSD offers faster load times
Cons
  • Could use slightly more storage

Performance & Battery

What’s it like to run League of Legends on this rig? How about over 100+ frames per second? Yes, the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti and 9th Gen Intel Core i7-9750H, together bring an incredibly smooth experience at ultra-high settings, better than the Lenovo Legion Y7000—especially with its 144Hz refresh rate. So having a Nvidia GeForce RTX, like in the Asus ROG Strix Scar III, is a bit overkill. Response time is also around 3ms, which is right in line what you’d expect from gaming rigs these days. And battery life runs for up to 6 hours, long enough for a satisfactory gaming session.

Ports, Expandability & Build Quality

Under the hood is a fast 512GB SSD, a big improvement from traditional HDD that offers faster load times. It’s plenty of space for League of Legends, but could use a little more. The backlit keyboard is surrounded by a plastic and metal chassis, providing a healthy amount of sturdiness. Along the sides is an RJ45 port, three USB 3.1 Gen 1, USB Type C Gen 2, miniDP, and HDMI 2.0.

Value

If you’re big into League of Legends, the Acer Predator Helios 300 i7 9750H is going to be your best friend, especially if you love having high frame rate, fast refresh rate, and want to experience every little detail in Summoner’s Rift. It’s the kind of performance you want when you’re deep into a team fight or at a tournament. If you want to save yourself some cash, however, you can drop down to the Lenovo Legion Y540 and still have an excellent experience.
