Besides the new gaming monitor from Acer, Acer also presented their highly anticipated Predator 21 X gaming laptop and Predator 17 X gaming notebook. The Predator 21 X will be available in North America in February with prices starting at $8999 (around RM40491) and in EMEA in February with prices starting at €9999; while the Predator 17 X will be available in the North America in January with prices starting at $2599 (around RM11694), and in EMEA in January with prices starting at €2999; and in China in February with prices starting at ¥39,999 (around RM25877).
Predator 21 X
As the world’s first curved screen notebook, it features a curved 21-inch IPS display (2560 x 1080 resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate) and a Tobii eye-tracking technology as well. What’s more, this beast also lies a NVIDIA G-SYNC technology, dual NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 graphic cards in SLI, an overclockable 7th Generation Intel Core i7-7820HK processor, 4GB of DDR4-2400 memory, up to four 512GB solid state drives in RAID 0 configuration (including 2 NVMe PCIe SSDs, which are up to 5x faster than SATA SSDs) and a 7200 RPM hard drive of 1TB capacity.
In addition, Killer DoubleShot Pro automatically picks the fastest network connection (Ethernet or wireless) and sends all high priority traffic over that interface while standard traffic is sent over the other. What this means is that it ensures the highest priority traffic will always be put on the fastest and most reliable link.
To combat excessive heat, it adapts 5 system fans (including 3 ultra-thin AeroBlade metal fans) and 9 heat pipes. It also includes Acer DustDefender, which removes dust build-up and improves heat dissipation, and Acer’s CoolBoost app, that can be used to adjust the fans’ airflow to deliver extra cooling performance during heavy use.
Predator 17 X
On the other hand, the Predator 17 X gaming notebook received both a CPU and GPU upgrade, and will now include models with a 7th Generation Intel Core i7-7820HK processor and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 GPU with 8G GDDR5X video memory. Featuring overclocking (up to 4.3GHz for the CPU; up to 1732MHz for the GPU; and up to 5.4GHz for VRAM), a custom triple-fan cooling system with front air intake and a server-class vapor chamber, it is ideal for the most demanding games and running virtual reality (VR) devices, accompanied by G-SYNC Full HD IPS (1920 x 1080) or UHD IPS (4K 3840 x 2160) display.
