The Acer Predator Helios 300 Special Edition Features White Chassis, 144Hz Display, GTX 1060

Acer introduced plenty of new products today in New York, and one of the highlights is definitely a new variant of the Helios 300. Dubbed the Acer Predator Helios 300 Special Edition, it features a sleek white aluminium chassis – complete with gold accents – and an upgraded display.

Unlike Acer’s other range of Predator laptops, the Helios 300 Special Edition sports a unique white and gold colour scheme. And unlike its predecessor’s conventional 60Hz display, the new model sports a faster 15.6-inch 1080p 144Hz panel too. Naturally, this gaming laptop can also be equipped with an eight generation Intel Core i7+ processor.

In the GPU side of things, the new Helios 300 only comes with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 GPU; there doesn’t seem to be an option for a GTX 1050 model. Other specifications of the gaming laptop include up to 16GB of DDR4 RAM (further upgradeable to 32GB), a fast PCIe SSD that tops at 512GB, and of course, up to 2TB of hard drive storage.

Oh, if you want a more “gamer-centric” black model, worry not: the standard Helios 300 with a more traditional black colour scheme also comes with the same hardware upgrades. This special edition model is really for consumers who want a gaming laptop that looks more…elegant.

At the time of writing, it still remains to be seen how much the Acer Predator Helios 300 Special Edition will go for; it doesn’t have a release date yet either. Hopefully, the new Helios 300 will be made available in Malaysia in the near future.
