This 2021 Predator Helios 500 is an impressive performance and gaming laptop. The solid build quality, the miniLED 4K screen option, the competent IO, and the oversized thermal design are the main selling points of this Helios 500 over its counterparts, while at the same time its size and weight, the lack of a MUX switch, and its smaller battery might steer some of you away. All in all, this behemoth is more a desktop laptop than most of the other full-size performance options of this generation, and I'd expect this aspect to weigh in heavily in your final decision.
No GSync or MUX, with an impact over the gaming performance
