Reviews for the Acer Predator Helios 700 PH717-71-92A7

85% Acer Predator Helios 700 review: An absolute beast of a gaming laptop
Source: Neowin English Archive.org version
It's also big, heavy, and doesn't get great battery life, but that's the cost of having this much power. Games look and play great, with real-time ray tracing and DLSS coming from Nvidia's RTX GPUs, the high refresh rate, and the power of overclocking already powerful internals.

We’ll get this out of way first, because everyone wants to know about the “value” word. There is none. While the $3,999 price for the specs above is on a par with comparable laptops from the competition, this is no blue-plate special.
