Where (EU online shop) can I buy the Acer Predator Helios 500?

Aniriomellad

Hi everyone. I have been watching the predator helios 500 (PH517-51? 8750H GTX 1070) since it came out and I can't find a way to buy it. I live in Greece and this model isn't sold here so I am trying without success until now to find a shop inside EU that ships to Greece. The German store has a great pack:) with extras for 1999€ but if I understand they don't ship to Greece. Can you help me out? I don't speak any foreign languages except English so some guidance may be needed for placing an order.

There is also another issue. I don't see mention of thunderbolt ports on the German Acer store. On the American site there is mention of 2 thunderbolt ports but in the specifications of the German store which has a similar category about ports, everything is the same but instead of thunderbolt ports it just mentions an audio line out. Another German store (computeruniverse) specifically says NO thunderbolt ports. Don't all Acer Predator Helios 500 models with Intel CPU have 2 thunderbolt ports? If not, how can I know to choose the one that has them? 

Also I need the US-International keyboard layout. Do all the models sold in EU have this keyboard?

Hi I was in the same dilema as you, but my country had them on stock, it was PL variants of PH500 with only 128GB sata ssd I live in LTU.

Amazon.de sels only sell DE variant, it has qwertz keybord, google it how it looks, for me it was a deal breaker I wanted normal US qwerty layout, you also might ask seller for the info about the keybord. All acer ph500 have part number that looks like NH.Q3NEG.004 (DE model) by googling it you can find what it has and more info about it, imo all ph500 have 2 thunderbolt slots but they share that pcie lane, maybe someone could comment more on this. You could try amazon.co.uk but look for the service that gives you a terminal address in UK or DE and then ships to GR for you, at least in LTU there is a lot of such service. Amazon.fr might have it too. You could try looking PL variants also https://www.acer.com/ac/pl/PL/content/predator-models/laptops/predatorhelios500 try google the part number NH.Q3NEP.024 use google translate it works rly good, but still buying 2k eur laptop in not your country might be risky
