Home » Acer Predator Helios 500
The Acer Predator Helios 500 is designed with durability in mind. The best gaming laptop from Acer has a strong chassis with a matte surface that is not dirtied by greasy fingerprints easily. The laptop also comes with a number of ports, which allow you to connect it to three additional displays along with the laptop’s own 17.3-inch screen at any given time. Additionally, the Predator Helios 500 is equipped with 2 aeroblade 3D fans, 5 heat pipes, 4 exhausts, and 2 intakes, which allow for better air circulation. This means you can have prolonged intense gaming sessions without complaining about overheating. The keyboard also comes with individually backlit keys, adding a premium look to the Predator Helios 500.
On the downside, the Acer Predator Helios 500 is not a portable laptop because of its weight and size. It also has mediocre built-in speakers.
