Next@Acer : Helios 500

Honestly, sad to see almost every predator laptop get next generation fans, processors, and GPUs, while the H500, which is my favorite and the one I'm planning to buy, get none. It has been released very recently, so I guess that's just natural. The slick Predatorsense key would've been so slick as an addition, too. I know it's already a great laptop but I would've still loved to see it get a rework, especially since I care so much about cooling in laptops, so I would've LOVED to see it have an upgrade for the Aeroblade fans just like the other ones did. If I had enough money, I would've for sure bought the Helios 700; who wouldn't? Beyond-perfect cooling and a very practically innovative design along with drastic improvements in all aspects. I can't afford it at all, though. As I said earlier, it has only been released recently, so it wouldn't be very practical to release another refreshed version of it right away. Instead, Acer did a smart move. They took advantage of the fact that it's unarguably the best-looking among the Predator Brothers. It has a very aggressive accent and design (with the exhausts at the back, for example) that still aren't exaggerated. They used it as a model for mods. They had a team of modders that they assembled to make some mods that were quite extraordinary, one of which was a huge external cooling system, by the way. They didn't want to give it an upgrade yet, but at the same time, they didn't want to leave it out and only take its siblings. Smart move, Acer. 😂 What do you guys think?

It shows it comes wit the metal AeroBlade design fans, 5 heat pipes, CoolBoost, 3x monitor support, etc.

The H500 its the most powerful beast of all Predator series and it has the best cooling system in all gaming laptops (i mean all manufaturers) and was the first of the series with the i9 cpu so i don't see the need for an upgrade as its pretty good as it is right now also the new rtx are still a bit useless there aren't games properly developed yet to take advantage of the performance the ray tracing it's not fully developed neither applied yet but this doesnt mean that the H500 wont have a new face because it might even the H300 had it and all the triton series

PS: i also love the new H700 design and features unfortunately the prices (advertized) when it launches are out of my reach for the prices they are stating on websites i would get a Triton 500 instead or a H500 if i could and still didn't lost my hope in getting my hands on a 21X maybe one of the very few limited owners would get tired of it in a near future and would sell it at an affordable price lol ( keep dreaming )
