The Helios 500 has a full-sized RGB backlit keyboard with four lighting zones and a number pad. 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 shortcut and the power buttons are backlit as well, but aren’t included in personalized color schemes. 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. On the outside, the Helios 500’s design consists of various geometrical shapes and edges — particularly on the backside where part of the exhaust system is located. Also on the back is an HDMI 2.0 port, a full-sized Display Port, and the charging port.The left side of the housing holds an ethernet port, a USB 3.0 ports that offers charging even when the laptop is closed, and two Thunderbolt ports. The Thunderbolt ports come in handy for connecting another display or an external hard drive, or heck, you could even using a USB-C cable to charge your phone. The right side has two more USB 3.0 ports and audio ports.

Overall, Acer provides a welcome selection of ports, and I'm referring to both the number, types, and locations. All the bases are covered, and they’re not all crammed onto one side or the back of the housing. After using laptops with all kinds of crazy port configurations, I’ve grown fond of the three-sided approach that Acer uses. It gives you options, and room to plug in a few peripherals on each side so that you don't overload one side of your desk with cables and dongles. It's a smart approach, and kudos to Acer for doing it right.Prior to the Helios 500, I had only tested one laptop with an Intel Core i9 CPU, and it was a monster — the MSI GT75 Titan. Beyond overall size, the biggest difference between the Helios 500 and the MSI GT75 Titan is that the GT75 boasted a GTX 1080 and 32GB of DDR4 memory, as opposed to the Helios' GTX 1070 and 16GB of DDR4 memory. I didn’t include the GT75 Titan in the benchmark comparison chart for that reason. Instead, I’m comparing the Helios 500 to the Digital Storm Equinox, the ASUS ROG Zephyrus, the MSI GS65, and the all-new Razer Blade 15. All three feature an 8th generation Coffee Lake CPU, and although it's the lower-clocked i7-8750H version, it's still a six-core CPU.

With that out of the way, let’s talk about what really matters on a machine like this: Gaming.Switching between Fortnite, PlayerUnknown’s Battleground (PUBG), I consistently saw performance over 100 frames per second. On PUBG, that number was over 130 fps throughout the entire match when on High settings. On Ultra settings, for both Fortnite and PUBG, I would see the frame counter hover around 120 fps.The 144Hz display combined with persistently high frames per second provided an incredibly smooth experience overall. I failed to pick up on any stuttering or dropped frames as textures are rendered when dropping into a match. Color quality and saturation were spot on to my eyes.
