The metal-bodied ultra-portable notebook includes an 11th generation Intel® Core™ i7 H35 Special Edition processor, an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 30601 graphics card and an efficient cooling system with 5th generation AeroBlade fans and Vortex Flow Technology to keep temperatures to a minimum even in the hottest gaming moments. This generation’s Aeroblade all-metal fan blades have special fins that enhance airflow, and innovative guides help minimize turbulence and focus it on the most important components of the system. This improved cooling efficiency of up to 10% over the previous generation of fans. Vortex Flow technology creates an aerodynamic flow inside the case, using heat pipes, ducting and a pair of strategically placed flanges to improve cooling of the CPU, graphics card and other critical system components.
Gamers who love not only to play games, but also to watch movies and videos will love the 14-inch FHD screen of the Predator Triton 300, with 144Hz refresh rate and thin bezels on three sides. 10 hours of battery life1 to keep gamers entertained between play sessions, or to watch their favorite streaming game after a hard day’s work.

And with the PredatorSense software and Turbo key, gamers can control the fan speed in real time to work or edit their content in silence, and turn on the full cooling system only when playing games.
“The new 11th generation Intel Core H35 processor delivers impressive gaming performance in ultra-mobile notebooks, including the up to 5.0 GHz version of the Intel Core i7 with benefits such as PCIe Gen 4 compatible graphics cards,” says Fredrik Hamberger, general manager of premium and gaming notebooks in the Intel Client Computing Group. “These performance powerhouses are Wi-Fi 6 compliant and the devices’ chassis is protected against overheating – a stunning innovation in the ultra-portable gaming notebook segment, in this case we see it in the Predator Triton.”.

The Predator Helios 300 PH315-53 has a new version with support for the latest NVIDIA GeForce RX 3080 graphics cards and up to 32GB of DDR41 RAM to ensure users have enough system performance for both current and future generations of gaming. Such power is needed to deliver the smoothest, tear-free, low-frame response time on a 240Hz IPS2 display with 3ms response time. And DTS:X Ultra with Virtual Surround Sound for an immersive gaming experience. The notebook features two fans, including AeroBlade 3D, and Acer’s own CoolBoost™ technology helps them operate at optimum performance to improve cooling of the system’s most critical components.

For situations that require complete silence or maximum cooling, the built-in NitroSense app allows you to monitor the temperature of various system components and adjust fan speeds according to your needs.
System performance can only be evaluated by running the game, but even at first glance the notebook chassis got rid of unnecessary details, and the frame around the screen is smaller, which allowed to bring the ratio of the display to the chassis in the new version to 80%.
