Acer Predator Helios 700 Gaming Laptop Review (i9-10980HK, RTX 2080 Super Max-Q, 32GB + 2TB, 144Hz)

The Acer Predator Helios 700 is definitely one unique laptop. It features a sliding keyboard which the company calls the “Hyperdrift keyboard.” Sliding it out exposes two intake fans that relentlessly pull in ambient air to cool the Intel Core i9-10980HK and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Super Max-Q. This also overclocks both the CPU and GPU, allowing you to get more performance out of this setup. The Acer Predator Helios 700 performed admirably well in our testing, garnering a score of 91.83 in FHD graphics at Ultra preset, which is still really impressive. The Acer Predator Helios 700 does deliver very impressive performance, racking up an overall performance score of 82, while the MSI GT76 Titan gets 87 and the Alienware Area51m R2 scores 91. Given how close it is to our runner-up, ie: the MSI GT76 Titan and how it costs much less, the Acer Predator 700' value for money proposition sits at an incredibly high number, making it the best-buy recommendation for 2020 for the Digit Zero 1 Awards.

i was hoping they would refine and improve this for RTX 30 series 10th/11th gen or Ryzen of course. QHD thin bezel. For gaming the pulling forward of the KB is perfect.

[tabalugadragon]

what about CPU overclocking? is it available via XTU or BIOS?
I don't understand though why you compared it to GS66 which is both thinner and lighter, considerably so.

[astaroth]

Max-Q on such a massive laptop? That can't be right.

[brianohlrogge]

Hook it up to a monitor through the display port... Great thermals

[Tindreal]

How did you test this ? It's not MaxQ, it's MaxP ...

[superrbw]

Are you sure it’s the 2080 super max q, as I swear the previous model had a desktop grade gpu inside?

[hrithiktrikha]

What is the use of a laptop with such high spec's?
If the display is 1080p

[scienceoclypse]

what was the price can someone tell? right now it is showing out of stock.

[hpggaming]

I read digit in my school library osom products are shown in digits book

[thomasluggiero]

Fastest and coolest running 2080 laptop on the market. This has a full super 2080, not a max q

[Ameyzinng]

Waiting for MI Qled 55 review from you.🙏

[sulayfilayy]

Who disliked this video? The weirdest 7 people on earth

[Renny]

You should show us the temp values that you are getting. Just saying "good thermals" is rather vague.

[Bloodyhellfinger]

Best cooling it beats Alienware area-51m 96c full load and the acer Helios 700 full load 60c I prefer better cooling then fancy name

[teddym]

I just can't do those bezels in 2021. I had a hard time doing them in 2018 with my Aorus X5V8 lol.

[xunzhang]

In my opinion, Acer have the most strongest laptop, but the price too high. Acer is a powerful company, they only have low class and highest class, dont have middle class

[jimmyquick]

I can't wait for the women i love to get this

[teddym]

Terrible review and video, and I will tell you why I gave you a thumbs down and likely why others did too.
The trackpad, for example. "This works as well as a trackpad in a premium laptop should".
Nope, what WE want to know - Is it a precision trackpad or synaptics or elan? Those things matter. I won't touch any laptop without a precision touchpad.
And THE most important thing.. You did not get into fan noise, sustained cpu speeds under load or temperatures! What on Earth? Won't be watching your reviews again.
