One of the new machines Acer launched at Next@Acer is the Predator Helios 700. This larger version of the Helios 300 features a keyboard and trackpad that slides forward towards the user. The trackpad can then also be tilted down to form a palm rest. Acer introduces this new “HyperDrift keyboard,” which adds an interesting design element but also exposes the fans to boost performance and cooling. The keys are new “MagForce keys” that come with linear switches. Acer claims these are more precise than traditional models.
As the flagship of the Helios line, this laptop comes with a 17.3-inch 1080p display, 9th-gen Intel Core i9 processor, and either the NIVDIA GeForce RTX 2080 or 2070 GPUs (not the Max-Q design). You can configure this up to 64GB of RAM and up 1TB SSD or 2TB hard drive. This is a massive machine though at 1.64 inches thick and weighing 9.9 pounds.
