The Acer Predator Helios 300 has superior performance for 3D rendering, machine learning, and engineering tasks with a high refresh rate display, making it suitable for intensive gaming, but it's less portable due to its weight and lower battery life. On the other hand, the Lenovo Yoga 6 offers greater portability with a significantly longer battery life and a touchscreen feature, plus it's generally less expensive, but its performance in demanding computing tasks isn't on par with the Helios 300. Consider the Predator if gaming or heavy tasks are a priority and the Yoga if portability and battery life are more important. Give Feedback

Christian Hintze | November 2022
"The Acer Predator Helios 300 review is an overclocked gaming laptop with a good display. The Predator is large, heavy, and loud, but also offers plenty of performance according to gamers. An overclocked gaming laptop - or its user - also has to struggle with the usual disadvantages we mentioned above. On the other hand, overclocking is optional, and those who like it quieter and can live with a few less frames per second can also switch to the significantly more moderate Standard mode. Then the Helios 300 won't be any louder than the competitors."

"The AMD R7-7730U in the Lenovo Yoga 6 13 provides a suitable answer to the limited cooling capabilities of a convertible - especially in tablet mode. It draws high computing power from a comparatively limited power supply so that less heat has to be dissipated at the same time."
