The editors liked
Keeps cool
Lots of room to upgrade
Easy to overclock
Clicky keyboard
This is one of the first laptops with Intel's new high-end Core i9 processor
Which is paired with a powerful Nvidia 1070 graphics card. Plenty of ports
A big screen and decent lighting options make this a flexible game machine
Nicely crafted and sturdy built
Excellent IO
Fast keyboard
Once you get used to it
Fairquality 144 Hz screen with GSync
Excellent performance with demanding loads and games
Runs very cool
And the fans can be manually tweaked for appropriate noise l
The editors didn't like
CPU scores lower than competing Core i9 machines
Display is dimmer than average
Other gaming laptops have more powerful GPUs
Better screens
More lighting options and cooler designs
Leaving the Helios 500 stuck in the middle of the pack
Bulky and heavy
Obnoxious design with lights
Branding elements and lots of stickers
The i9 CPU runs extremely hot in combined CPUGPU loads
