For $2,000 you can have an eighth-generation Intel Core i7-8750H CPU paired up with 16GB of memory (with space for up to 64GB), a GTX 1070 graphics chip, 256GB of PCIExpress SSD storage, and a 1TB hard drive. There are only a couple of options for configuring the Acer Helios 500, but both are monstrously powerful. That platform also comes with its own Tobii eye-tracker, which is a nice touch, but it has limited usage in most games at this time. The keyboard on the Helios is fantastic and has been for a few generations, though it does not feature per-key backlighting like the Alienware system does. There’s a little more versatility there, especially when it comes to external USB accessories, but there’s not a huge difference between the two.
It also has HDMI and DisplayPort connectors, as well as an ethernet connector, and a headphone jack. In comparison, the Helios 500 has more USB ports, with three USB-A and two USB-C. That offers lots of options for running larger, external displays, with many of those ports located on the back, so they’re well out of the way when you’re gaming on a desk. The Alienware machine has a lot of ports filling its flanks, with two USB-A and a single USB-C connector alongside an Ethernet port, headphone jack, Thunderbolt port, HDMI port, and mini-DisplayPort.
