REVIEW

Using Cinebench to measure single-core

performance, we can see performance is right where

you’d hope it would be. You might think this is boring,

but it’s actually a good sign for the laptop to be tied

with every other Core i7-8750H laptop.

We also like to check the performance of laptops in

longer tasks, to see how the CPU performs (and heats

up) under stress. For that, we use the free HandBrake

utilitytoencodea 30GBvideofile.Thetaskcantake

Moving onto the performance of the GeForce GTX

1060, the Acer Predator Helios 300 doesn’t disappoint

It’s a dead tie between the every
laptop with a Core i7-8750H in it
