### **Why is this series so special?**

From the specs of the processors, you can understand how much power they have… So, to keep that much powerful thing cooled, we need some fantastic thermals.

The Helios 500 features Acer’s **AeroBlade 3D metal fans** for cooling along with five heat pipes for heat dissipation. Also, it also features **Killer DoubleShot Pro** networking for improved connectivity and reduced latency, especially while playing online games.

For the **dual Thunderbolt 3 ports**, if you need you can hook up eGPUs as well… With the laptop, you get a lot of customization options and it’s future-proof.
