Acer predator helios 500 hard drive tray7/26/2023 ![]() A touchpad is centered with the keyboard and not the laptop’s housing, making it easier to use, and has two physical buttons just beneath it. The shortcut and the power buttons are backlit as well, but aren’t included in personalized color schemes. Just above the left-side of the keyboard are five shortcut buttons for tasks like launching Acer’s PredatorSense gaming software, or overclocking the processor. The Helios 500 has a full-sized RGB backlit keyboard with four lighting zones and a number pad. Both memory and storage can be upgraded easily, and memory maxes out at a very generous 64GB. The CPU works in combination with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 GPU, 16GB of DDR4 memory, a 512GB SSD for the OS and a 2TB SATA hard drive for data. ![]() That makes it the highest clocked mobile CPU in existence, and this CPU is pretty notorious for running really hot as well. It's also a requirement, as this Helios 500 is packing an Intel Core i9-8950HK six-core CPU, which tops out at 4.8GHz with TurboBoost. The benefit to all these fans and heat pipes is hopefully the ability to have large, slow-spinning fans that are barely audible. The weight and size seem to be due to its extravagant cooling, which includes two Aeroblade 3D cooling fans, five heat pipes, and four exhausts.

That’s despite its extra large display, and a its XXL weight of 8.82-pounds. However, when I sat down and actually used it, it somehow felt smaller. Throughout testing I would see it on my desk from afar, and it looked exactly like the huge 17" laptop that it is.
