The Acer Predator Helios 500 also includes Acer PowerGem, a custom-engineered technology made from a metal-alloy polymer that sits on top of the CPU and serves to distribute the heat it generates throughout the device. Acer’s Vortex Flow technology uses two fans, one of which is a 5th Generation AeroBlade 3D Fan, to direct airflow to critical components and boost performance during long gaming sessions.
Users can activate the Predator Pulsar and customise the light cluster with PredatorSense to customise their keyboard with per-key RGB backlighting. Acer’s patented MagForce keys, which both feature a MagTek mechanical switch to turn the keypress function into a joystick mechanism, can be added to the WASD key assembly. This allows gamers to gradually increase key pressure for precise control of the character’s / car’s speed – from the initial (0.8 mm) to full speed at 100 percent (3 / 3.1 mm) actuation.
