Predator Helios 500 (PH517-61): A Mobile Gaming Beast with the Latest AMD Ryzen Processors and Radeon RX Graphics
Built for graphic-intensive AAA titles and live streaming, the Predator Helios 500 (PH517-61) is a gaming beast. It features up to a 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen 7 2700 processor with 8 cores and 16 threads and AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 graphics with 16GB of second-generation high-bandwidth memory (HBM2). Top-notch visuals are delivered on bright, vibrant FHD (144 Hz) IPS 17.3-inch displays supporting Radeon FreeSync technology for blur- and tear-free gameplay.
The Predator Helios 500 stays cool with two of Acer's proprietary AeroBlade 3D metal fans and five heat pipes that distribute cool air to the machine's key components while simultaneously releasing hot air. Fan speed can be controlled and customized through the award-winning PredatorSense app, which can also allow users to define macros for the five hotkeys.
One set of hotkeys are pre-defined to quickly launch Mixer, Microsoft's next-generation live-streaming service, where gamers can broadcast their gameplay or watch live streams of the hottest gameplay. Two speakers, a subwoofer, Acer TrueHarmony and Waves MaxxAudio technology deliver superior sound quality made immersive with Waves Nx head-tracking technology for a hyper-realistic 3D audio experience.
