Test: Acer Predator Helios 500 (GTX 1070, i7-8750H) Laptop (Sammanfattning)

Speluppgradering. Vår exklusiva recension av Acers massiva kompis. Utrustad med en CPU på 45 W och ett GTX 1070 så innehåller det splitter nya höljet ett riktigt spel-kraftpaket. Helios 500 är efterföljaren till Helios 300, och även om den fortfarande är ganska rejäl och klumpig så är denna nykomling inte lika skarp i kanterna som innan.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
9 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 5 ms rise
↘ 4 ms fall
The screen shows fast response rates in our tests and should be suited for gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 19 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21.5 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
14 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 7 ms rise
↘ 7 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 22 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (33.8 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 17942 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Acer Predator Helios 500. Recensionenhet från Acer Germany.
Acer Predator Helios 500. Recensionenhet från Acer Germany.

Med sin Predator Helios 500 har Acer återigen skapat ett välavrundat spel-kraftpaket med fler fördelar än nackdelar när det kommer till spelande. Trots detta så är denna spelmaskin på 17 tum långt ifrån perfekt och kräver därför en mer detaljerad analys.

Skärmen, exempelvis, är tydligt spelinriktad. 144 Hz och blixtsnabba responstider är ett stort plus. Färgnoggrannheten var utmärkt efter att skärmen gått igenom vår manuella kalibreringsprocess. Men den misslyckades med att räcka sRGB helt och hållet och dess kontrastförhållande på 500:1 var för långt. På grund av det såg svart ganska grått ut.

Totalt sett var värmeutveckling och ljudnivåer mer än acceptabla med tanke på enhetens prestandanivå. Det går till och med att välja huruvida man vill ha bättre kylprestanda (Cool Boost) eller an aningen överklockad GPU (GPU Turbo). Med den automatiska fläktkontrollen aktiverad så var enheten tillräckligt tyst för att sömlöst smälta in i dom flesta kontorsmiljöer, och fläktarna slog till och med av helt och hållet ibland.

Konstruktionskvaliteten var inte perfekt, men för det mesta var plasthöljet tillräckligt robust. Vi gillade särskilt dom två Thunderbolt 3-portarna men beklagar avsaknaden av en SD-kortsläsare.

Service är en barnlek och möjligheterna till uppgraderingar är superba. Bland annat går det att uppgradera RAM (upp till 64 GB) och lagring (2 st M.2 SSD RAID, 2.5 tums HDD). Tyvärr är stödet för M.2 begränsat till SATA och inkluderar inte det snabbare NVMe-protokollet.

Ljudsystemet var utmärkt men inte så briljant som hos det större syskonet, Predator 17. Dom bakgrundsbelysta inmatningsenheterna var ganska bra och den totala vikten är ganska låg med tanke på datorns prestandanivå.

På den negativa sidan så var datorns energiförbrukning vid tomgång väldigt hög och dess batteritid var ganska dålig. Varken webbkameran eller mikrofonen var tillräckligt bra för en såpass dyr laptop och hade snarare passat en modell för 3.500 kronor.

Om du av någon anledning tycker dessa handikapp är för mycket eller tycker priset är för högt så kan Acer Predator Helios 300, som finns tillgänglig för straxt över 9.000 kronor (GTX 1050 Ti) eller 11.000 kronor (GTX 1060), vara värd en närmare titt.  Vi kan åtminstone försäkra dig om att den specifika modellen var mycket mer energi-effektiv än den modell vi recenserat idag.

Snart kommer vi också att recensera den andra modellen av Helios 500, toppskiktsmodellen utrustad med Intels Core i9-8950HK (2.9 - 4.8 GHz).
