1. This, in my honest opinion, is a MUCH BETTER upgrade from the older version that I currently have.
2. So this laptop comes with Windows 11 and thought it may be daunting to some (was for me at first since I was still using Windows 10 on my older Predator Helios 300 despite I being progged to update to 11) this Windows 11 is actually very clean and easy to use (so far). So I guess I love it.
3. So two things I realized that are missing in this newer Predator Helios 300 from the older one is a Memory (SD they call it-?) Card Reader and a USB-C slot. Ok, so it comes with a USB-C slot to the back, but I believe that's the Thunderbolt one for alternative charging? Whether I can fit my external drive in there I'll have to do some further research. If it can't I'll use the other cable that came with my external drive (Samsung Portable SSD T5 which comes with two alternative cables so I can use one or the other *blink*) so not a complete loss on my end.
4. *PLEASE TAKE NOTE* - TURBO-MODE-IS-VERY-LOUD. YOU-HAVE-BEEN-WARNED-!!! XDXDXD
But on a side note it cools down the laptop quickly too!
5. So this new laptop version gets a bit hot but not EXTREMELY hot like the older one which tries to fry my hands despite I having a Cooling Pad. But I have also yet to play in the settings of the newer version so I guess I can do some adjustments to keep the temperature lower. But you can buy a cooling pad for good extra measure. (You get to have external cooling and the option to adjust your laptop after all! A Two-in-One Deal! ^.~)
6. The Laptop has a good weight but Blue Heavens! The charger itself is nothing to sneeze at! Together they might help some weight lifting! Unless you plan gain some muscles whilst carrying these things maybe it's a no-go for leaving the house. If you have a mode of transportation that won't be a problem. Or maybe if you gradually get used to the weight eventually-? (I'll try!!! >.<;;)
7. So when I bought this newer version I was also given the option of buying a brand of their mouse and mousepad. Though I don't usually take the offers I took these and I must say I-HAVE-NO-REGRETS. All my life the only kinds of electronic mice I've purchased in my own country have always had these kind of cheap plastic empty feel. But this mouse-?! The weight, texture, quality- everything is just *chef's kiss*. And the mousepad is so smooth and sweet with it's cool artistic colours! (And when I got the mouse by the way it was on sale for 20ish dollars at the time but its original price is DEFINITELY* worth it too!)
My goodness. Never in my life have I ever written THIS much in a review before! I guess this goes to show how much I LOVE this product! Hahahahaha! Happy Gaming and whatever reasons you get this wonderful product for!
UPDATE as of 19th June, 2023.
So remember in point #3 that I mentioned about being unsure about the USB C-Slot being able to fit m External Drive? Turns out it was an immediate success! And I'm having LOTS of fun with this computer, yes!
