Acer predator helios 7007/20/2023 Since the Helios 700 has a max resolution of 1080p, the 2070 Super that’s built into this machine has NO problem allowing you to max out all settings in 1080p no matter what game your playing which works out perfectly. It’s a great addition to the Helios 700 whose keyboard is already pretty good. With the Predator sense app you can configure these keys to your desired sensitivity and depending on what games you play there is serious upside to having these keys. While I personally don’t always game with the keyboard and mouse, for the sake of this review I swapped out those keys for the MagForce keys. The Helios 700 came with a set of MagForce Keys for the W,A,S and D keys that uses a linear spring that give you very accurate control based on the pressure applied to the keys as you press them. ![]() Using the HyperDrift keyboard takes an hour or two to get fully used to and of course you don’t have to game this way but why wouldn’t you? MAGFORCE KEYS The touchpad is smooth and remarkably accurate when typically on gaming laptops the trackpad tends to be a negative but it wasn’t bad at all on the Helios 700 but you probably won’t use it much to game anyway. It makes the gaming experience a lot more comfortable especially for the hours of gaming you intend to spend in front of this machine. The keyboard itself incredibly sturdy with almost no flex when I rested my wrist on the drop down portion where the trackpad is. It all looks really cool and it’s not gimmickry. Sliding down on the keyboard shows off some clean aesthetics and exposes the additional cooling fans for better cooling and an RGB panel that hides the cooling pipes underneath. You’ll hear the fans flare up immediately and you’re ready to go. Once you’re ready to get your game on just pull down on the HyperDrift keyboard (as it’s called) and the Helios 700 goes into an overclock configuration which of course you can customize but if you don’t you get a default configuration. That aside, I’ll get to how my experience was overall on this laptop. Any problems that I experienced at any time were related to the games’ development and not the Helios 700. This was not my experience and the Helios 700 at 1080p played this game flawlessly with no hiccups, frame skips or frame tearing. Cyberpunk was a particularly controversial game in that it’s riddled with problems albeit on the console end more so than the PC end BUT there were problems nonetheless. For the sake of this review I waited a little bit because of the release of Cyberpunk 2077 and I wanted to use that game to really put the Helios 700 through it’s paces. I played a lot of games on the Helios 700 for the sake of playing games but normally I’m limited to playing just a few games in my normal life. Now, the reason why it would make sense to have this beast of a laptop at all… Gaming. A 144Hz 17.3″ FHD IPS display with G-SYNC capability.MagTek mechanical switches and racing keys.Wi-Fi 6 AX1650i wireless and E3100G Ethernet.Two Type-C ports that support Thunderbolt 3,.10th Gen Intel Core i7-10875H processor w/ 5.10 GHz Turbo Boost (8 cores/16 threads).Here’s a general spec sheet for what we used for this review, not all specs are included just the most important ones as we saw it. The review version that I used was a hardware spec monster. It’s the best of the best in terms of the Predator lineup. The Predator Helios 700 doesn’t have a multitude of configuration options. The Helios 700 has all of the standard hardware ports one would expect from a high end gaming laptop. This laptop is geared at being a complete desktop replacement, so Acer made sure that if you’re going to buy this laptop that you don’t miss your desktop so functionality was at the top of the order with the Helios 700. ![]() Aside from it just being big, its got a solid design with a ton of function just for gaming. The Acer Predator Helios 700 is BIG as I’ve elaborated on in the beginning of this review. It’s the Acer Predator Helios 700 17″ gaming laptop. Acer thought it would be best this time to try out a high performance laptop that is basically a desktop replacement. ![]() How so? Normally, I tend to use the Predator series laptops that are fairly portable yet have enough power to play graphically complex games. It’s always top notch but this is way different.Īcer challenged me. I’ve done a lot of reviews for Acer’s Predator series laptops and for the most part, I always love to play around with the Predator hardware.
