On the Hitman benchmark (Ultra, 1080p), the Helios 500 averaged 103 fps, which beats the 89-fps average as well as the rest of the competition. Rocking an overclockable Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 GPU with 8GB of VRAM, the Helios 500 ripped through Wolfenstein II at 160 fps, taking its Predator lineage to heart. It matched the PowerSpec (GTX 1070) and fell in the range of the 59-fps category average, but the Alienware (GTX 1080) and the Aorus (GTX 1080) did better, at 68 fps and 73 fps, respectively. The Helios 500 also did well on more graphically taxing games like Rise of the Tomb Raider on Very High settings, where it pumped out 55 fps. The GPU didn't even stutter when I was tossed out of the comfort of my own wheelchair and shot to death on a conveyor belt - absolutely heartless. Rocking an overclockable Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 GPU with 8GB of VRAM, the Helios 500 ripped through Wolfenstein II at 160 frames per second on those Mein leben! settings, taking its Predator lineage to heart.

It feels so good to hear this baby's two speakers and subwoofer roar. When the chorus hit, each track flourished, weaving the treble and bass together to entice me in. The opening of the song filled the space with sick drumbeats and electric keyboard rhythms that embraced the meaning of bass. Packed with two speakers and a subwoofer, the Helios 500 blasted Quinn XCII's "Straightjacket" throughout my living room, capturing that concert atmosphere.

The touchpad did register all the appropriate Windows 10 gestures, like two-finger scrolling and three-finger app switching. However, the bar that separates the buttons and the touchpad feels quite flimsy. The 4.1 x 2.4-inch touchpad is very smooth, and its two discrete mouse buttons are clicky and responsive.
