Its brightness is as high as 500 nits. Additionally, with the In-Plane Switching technology and the Acer ComfyView LED backlit TFT LCD technology, the display provides impressive visual experiences even in brightly lit environments.
Memory
Upto 32GB DDR5-4800 MHz RAM is available in the Helios 16 series, with up to 2 TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD in RAID 0.
Cooling system
