Gamers would already know about the Acer Gaming production line, yup! Acer Predator. With its new product, the Acer Predator Helios 700 with Keyboard Slide and RTX 2080, it is hoped that it will attract the attention of big game fans.

From the very distinctive design of this Acer laptop, it can already be categorized as a gaming laptop, even for those of you who don't really follow the development of gaming laptops, you can easily recognize that the Acer Predator Helios 700 laptop is definitely a gaming laptop.

The size is quite thick, indicating that the laptop carries a very powerful system. Evidenced by the start of using a full-size RTX 2080 graphics card and an Intel Core i9 processor, this gaming laptop is not only a name but also has certain capabilities.

The design that really stands out from this latest gaming laptop is the position of the keyboard which can be changed position. The Acer Predator Helios 700 keyboard can be drawn closer to the user which will make the user more comfortable when using it, especially when playing games.

It is undeniable that the design of the Acer Predator Helios 700 laptop is very interesting, especially the keyboard that has a slide system. Almost all of the videos and reviews on the YouTube technology channel showcase this uniqueness.

The slider system found on this laptop keyboard is manual, must be pulled physically, it cannot be moved through the system or application that is inside the laptop. Even so, it turns out that this slider design has another function.

With the keyboard open (pulled out), the airspace that holds two AeroBlade fans will open. Such a position allows the fan to breathe new strong airflow from the two super fans.

The power of the two AeroBlade fans is already visible from the sound produced, noisy !. Yup! When we activate this extra cooling feature, we will immediately hear the sound from the two fans installed at the top of this body.

When the keyboard is opened (pulled) then at the same time we also open a new feature, which is an extreme cooling system. It is said to be extreme because the installed fan is not an ordinary laptop fan, but is more similar to a PC fan because of its suction and large thrust.

The video review shown by a YouTuber named Dave Lee shows how noisy the sound is caused by these two fans in TURBO mode. Please look at 4:05 to feel the effect of the AeroBlade fan on turbo mode.

Responsive screen with 144Hz refresh rate

One factor that makes it comfortable to play games is the quality and specifications of a capable screen. With a refresh rate of 144Hz, the screen found on the Acer Predator Helios 700 is very worthy to be given the name of the gaming screen.

Generally, the screen of a computer or laptop is currently in the range of 60Hz, even the latest Apple monitors still use a refresh rate of 60Hz (although it is not for gamers). What is clear, Acer knows that gamers will be more comfortable with a high refresh rate.

With better and clearer picture quality and details, of course, you can improve the gaming experience without disturbing blurred and slow images. That way the overall game experience will improve.

Predator Sense

Acer provides special software for their gaming laptops namely Predator Sense, including for this Acer Predator Helios 700 gaming laptop.

In the Predator Sense application, you can manage all media and settings available on the laptop. Set backlight keyboard configuration, overclock, keyboard macros, fan control, monitoring, etc.

In fact, you can also manage it via a smartphone by synchronizing (synchronization) to the desired laptop.

Risks and Prices of the Acer Predator Helios 700

Risks that must be borne from the high specifications above are the appearance of a laptop that is thicker than a laptop or notebook in general. This makes sense because, with such high specifications, it requires sufficient space to store all the hardware needed.

Thicker also means heavier, yup! get ready to feel the weight of a laptop with this luxury spec. Even though it isn't extreme in weight, it's still heavier than a laptop in general.

The official price offered for the Acer Predator Helios 700 is $ 3,999 for the highest specifications. For 'discounted' specifications you can get it for $ 2,199.

Hopefully, this article is especially useful for those of you who are looking for references for the Acer Predator Helios 700. If you have questions or personal opinions about this gaming laptop, please save them in the comments column as usual!
