Acer PowerGem
The Predator Helios 500 gaming laptop with its high-performance components uses the 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 leverages two fans, including a 5th Gen AeroBlade 3D Fan, to redirect airflow to critical components and boost performance during heavy gaming sessions.

PredatorSense and MagForce Keys
The PredatorSense enables Predator Pulsar lighting and customize light bars to personalize the keyboard’s per-key RGB backlighting. Additionally, the WASD keys can be enhanced with Acer’s Racing keys or MagForce keys, which feature MagTek mechanical switches to make keypresses function like a controller’s joystick, giving players precise control over their avatar’s movement.
