When I finally got around to opening the lid, I was awestruck by the sheer opulence. The display's curvature is so pronounced that you can see the metallic blue spacebar peeking out at you from the front. The Predator insignia holds court in the center of the lid looking every bit like the Decepticon logo. The lid is made from gray magnesium alloy, which makes the pair of aqua-blue lights pop. It makes bonafide heavyweights like the Alienware 17 R4 (9.6 pounds), the MSI GT83VR Titan SLI (13.1 pounds) and the Origin PC Eon17 SLX 10 Series (12.8 pounds) look like regular notebooks (flashing lights and aggressive designs aside).īut before I got into the nitty-gritty of the review, I took some time to appreciate the beast positioned in front of me. At 18.6 pounds, 22.4 x 12.4 x 3.3 inches, the system is pretty hard to ignore. One thing's for sure, you'll never be able to overlook the Predator 21 X. But for all that money, I would have preferred a 4K display and more audio boom.ĭesign: Introducing the 8th Wonder of the World It outfitted the 21-inch laptop with an overclockable Intel Core i7 processor and two Nvidia GTX 1080 GPUs in an SLI configuration and a pair of 512GB NVMe PCIe SSDs in a RAID 0 configuration.The 21 X also features a customizable maintenance panel, an enhanced cooling system and one of the best mechanical keyboards I've typed on all year. This machine is so premium that Acer is making only 300 of them.īut Acer didn't stop there. Priced at $8,999, this is the first laptop to feature a curved display that when combined with Tobii's eye-tracking technology makes for a seriously immersive gaming experience.
Weighing a ridiculous 18.6 pounds, the Predator 21 X is an exercise in immodest overindulgence that I can get behind. Just when I think I've seen everything gaming laptops have to offer, along comes something like the Acer Predator 21 X.
