The Predator Helios 700 is Acer’s latest gaming beast with some unique features. Although it looks like a typical notebook at first, we can expect desktop-grade performance thanks to its interesting cooling system design. When placed on a desk, you can slide down the “HyperDrift” keyboard which makes it more comfortable but also improves the airflow.

The best Helios 700 configuration Helios 700 is equipped with Intel Core i9-9980HK, 64GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 / RTX 2070. It has 17.3″ 144 Hz Full HD IPS panel

Acer Predator Helios 700 will hit the US market around April for $2699. Europeans will have to wait a bit more – it will be released in July for 2699 EUR. The price for the UK is £2499.

We expect the notebook in our laboratory soon and you’ll be the first to know everything about it.
