80% Acer Predator Helios 500 review: Super powerful, super pricey
Source: Pocket Lint Archive.org version
The Acer Helios Predator 500 is a heavyweight laptop in several ways. It's big and heavy, has just about the best specs you can get in a laptop, and costs an absolute fortune. It's overkill for most people, and not because we think you should all be happy playing games at Full HD at 30 frames per second. A laptop like the Lenovo Legion 7 can get you similar performance for almost half the price, which is kind of mad. The Helios 500 is probably the best fit for those who will try overclocking their laptop's graphics processor, as judging by the thermal performance we see here there's certainly scope for that. It's a bit of a beast.

85% Acer Predator Helios 500 review (2021 PH517-52 model – i9-11980HK, RTX 3080, mini LED 4K)
Source: Ultrabook Review Archive.org version
This 2021 Predator Helios 500 is an impressive performance and gaming laptop. The solid build quality, the miniLED 4K screen option, the competent IO, and the oversized thermal design are the main selling points of this Helios 500 over its counterparts, while at the same time its size and weight, the lack of a MUX switch, and its smaller battery might steer some of you away. All in all, this behemoth is more a desktop laptop than most of the other full-size performance options of this generation, and I'd expect this aspect to weigh in heavily in your final decision.
