Do you remember that gaming laptop that cost RM39,999? Yup, it's the Acer Predator 21 X, the world’s first curved screen gaming laptop and when it was unveiled, we weren't sure who was going to sell off his or her limbs to get one. Well, we have news for you and turns out that someone didn't need to do that. It's none other than Arsyan Ismail, 34 who actually got the Predator 21 X.

Acer Malaysia have brought the Acer Predator 21 X gaming laptop to Malaysia with 5 days of roadshow (at IOI City Mall) to showcase the world’s first curved screen laptop.
