![]() If you are considering buying the Acer Predator Helios 500 (2021), then you should know that this is not a machine that you can easily carry around. Not just that, the laptop also comes with dual power adapters with 330W of power, which itself weighs over a kilogram (individually). In fact, this is the first laptop that I have tested over the last few years that weighs as much as four KG. Let's start with the fact that the Acer Predator Helios 500 (2021) is a pretty heavy machine and weighs at 3.9KG. Some users (you can search on Reddit) needed to send their units back to Acer and had the keyboards replaced.Acer Predator Helios 500 (2021) Design: Made For Cooling I am really interested in getting the Helios 500 like you do, but I will wait a little as it seems like it is using the exact same keyboard as the Helios 700, which caused a lot of issues. It has a 2080, not even a super card, the cpu stays under 75C(undervolted) gaming in 4k for hours, unreal!! Acer really knows how to push gaming performance on their high end laptops to the limit, but they are just too slow when it comes to releasing a product that people want. ![]() I now have a Triton 900 and it gets over 11k on timespy graphic. I had a Helios 700 1.5 years ago and that laptop was crazy fast and ran super cool no matter how I pushed it. ![]() Since the Helios 500 is still a prototype mode in the review, hopefully a MUX switch will come with it when it is finally being released. I know how you feel regarding to the MUX switch, However, you can watch the videos on a youtube channel is called Mash It, the guy did a lot of videos for the new Alienware x15 and x17, and actually Dell updated the X17 and released a MUX switch after people had been complaining about it. Don't forget back in 2019 the fully loaded Triton 900 costed crazy $4200!!! I hope that helps. With the mini led 4k 120hz, it probably would cost close to $4000 believe me or not. If I were you, I wouldn't keep waiting even though I like Acer Even if that model was out, it would be at least $3499 since that's how the Helios 700 with i9+2080 super costed when it was finally out. Think about this way, Acer is not one of the top dogs in the gaming laptop market, why would the panel supplier supply that specific panel to Acer at first and not others like Asus? In other word, if no other manufactures have announced a product that uses the same mini led 4k 120hz display, which means that specific panel is far from the date of being in the production line. In my opinion, You may need to wait for another 2-4 months for the "fully loaded with mini led 4k " version of Helios 500 to be out. I sold my Helios 700 with 9750h+rtx 2080 and purchased a Aorus 17x from Micro center. I know coz I was one of those potential buyers patiently waiting for the Helios 700 with i9+ 2080 Super to be released, but it came out way too late = interest lost. By the time it was released, 1.5 months later other manufactures already started selling laptops with the 3000s gpus. I remember back then it took them FOREVER to release the latest version of the Helios 700 with the rtx super gpus.
