Reviews for the Acer Predator Helios 300 PH315-52-71KD

85% Acer Predator Helios 300 review (15-inch PH315-52 2019 model – RTX 2060)
Source: Ultrabook Review Archive.org version
Acer did an excellent job with this redesigned Predator Helios 300 PH315-52, pretty much creating a new laptop from scratch, with a smaller form-factor, latest-generation hardware and most of the modern features potential buyers expect in a gaming computer in 2019. Its performance and thermals depend on the fast spinning and loud fans, though, and the lacks in the IO and battery life departments might also steer some users way. However, I expect these quirks to be compensated by affordable pricing, which will make this notebook one of the more popular options in its niche, much like the previous Helios 300 lineups of the last years.

All in all, the 2019 Predator Helios 300 is a much-awaited update of one of the most popular mid-tier gaming devices of the last years. The previous generation has always had a price advantage on its side, though, and if that applies to the updated generation, I would expect the Helios 300 PH315-52 models to become just as popular, if not more. That wraps up our review of the Acer Predator Helios PH31-52, but the comments section down below is open for your questions, suggestions, and feedback, so don’t hesitate to get in touch.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
