Although it's very sturdy, the front and rear corners of the chassis are sharp. That aside, the Predator Helios 300's fast storage drive helped it do just fine in PCMark 8.Next up is a pair of CPU-crunching tests: Cinebench R15 stresses all available processor cores and threads while rendering a complex image, while in our Handbrake test, we transcode a 12-minute 4K video down to 1080p.The Predator Helios 300's Core i7-10750H scored low in Cinebench R15, where it should have scored at least 1,300 points like the Asus.
