The Helios 300’s dual speakers are located under the front lip. The Aorus brought up the rear with a sub-standard 243 nits. The Zephyrus G14 led the group, scoring 323 nits followed by the Raider at 300 nits. Shockingly, the Helios 300’s panel averaged only 276 nits of brightness, which is below the 295-nit average. However, the Asus ROG once again led the group with 83% followed by the MSI GE Raider (80.5%). When we measured the screen's color-reproduction capabilities, the Helios 300 scored a solid 74.8% on our DCI P3 Color gamut test, surpassing the mainstream gaming laptop average of 67.9%. The glowing green question marks sprinkled throughout the game as clues from the Riddler were beautifully saturated. While Playing Arkham Asylum, the contrast was perfect as I went from one dark room to the next, with nicely saturated pops of color as I emerged from the shadows to stop crime or just beat up on thugs for my own enjoyment. This panel beautifully renders smooth, buttery gameplay and video. Whether I was playing Batman Arkham Asylum, Assassin's Creed Odyssey or EVE Online, there was never a stutter or frame drop. On the right side, there's a Thunderbolt 3 port, a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port, a Mini DisplayPort 1.4 input and an HDMI port. The Helios 300 has enough ports to act as a passable workstation and content-creation laptop. It’s more like your friend who is slim thick because, as we all know, muscle weighs more than fat. Still, I wouldn’t judge the Predator Helios harshly based on these numbers. Measuring 14.3 x 10.5 x 0.8 inches and weighing 5.5 pounds, the Helios 300 is heavier than its direct competitors, including the svelte Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (3.5 pounds and 12.8 x 8.6 x 0.7 inches), the Gigabyte Aorus 15G (4.9 pounds, 14 x 9.8 x 1 inches) and the MSI GE66 Raider 2020 (5.3 pounds, 14.1 x 10.5 x 0.9 inches). I felt a warm pang in my chest like she could be the one. The Turbo button at the top of the deck dared me to press it and engage warp factor ten gaming. When I opened the Predator’s lid, I found a beautifully laid out chiclet-style keyboard welcoming me with bright backlit keys and chrome accents on the front of the keyboard deck and around the touchpad.
