As for its graphics card, it utilizes a GeForce GTX 1070, which is overclockable (yeap, you read that correctly).

Other specifications include an Intel Optane memory, NVMe PCIe SSD, Killer DoubleShot Pro networking, as well as up to 64GB of DDR4 RAM.

Over to the Acer Predator Helios 300, it is set for a lower spec compared to the 500. It features an all-white aluminum chassis that comes with a gold trim. Featuring a 15.6-inch Full HD IPS display with 144Hz refresh rate, it packs an 8th Gen Intel Core i7, an overclockable GTX 1060, packs 16GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD, and up to 2TB worth of HDD storage.

The Helios 300 also uses Intel Optane memory for better loading times and response. It features 2 of Acer’s ultra-thin all-metal AeroBlade 3D fans that helps you game non-stop without concerns of thermal throttling. Through its PredatorSense, there are 3 available modes for cooling; Coolboost Mode, Normal Mode, and also the Silent Mode.

Pokdepinion: Although the Acer Predator Helios 300 is the lower variant, I actually fancy that gaming laptop more, just because of its look (yes, shame on me).
