The Taiwanese company showed at CES the new Predator 21 X, a device with super features but with a price of 9.999 euros and a weight of over 8 kg
Acer presented at CES 2017 a new notebook designed to meet the needs of the most experienced gamers. The Acer Predator 21 X, this is the name of the device, will be the first in its field to have a curved screen. But don’t call it a laptop, in the true sense of the word, because it weighs over 8 pounds.
Acer anticipates the release of its Predator 21 X. The Acer notebook designed for gaming was expected by several gamers, but the Taiwanese company with the presentation in Las Vegas has anticipated the timing than expected. The Predator 21 X features a curved 21-inch IPS display (with 2560×1080 resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate). These features, combined with Tobii’s eye-tracking technology, ensure maximum engagement for gamers. Eye-tracking allows gamers to spot enemies, shoot them or hide. The curved screen also features NVIDIA G-Sync technology, which ensures perfectly smooth and defined gaming sessions.

Besides the display, however, Acer’s new notebook impresses with its powerful performance. On board we find in fact a dual graphics card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 in SLI and a seventh-generation Intel Core i7-7820HK processor (overlockable). To support the processor and GPU also 64 GB of RAM, up to 512 GB of solid state drive and a hard drive 7200 RPM and 1 TB capacity. Killer DoubleShot Pro technology detects the most stable and fastest connection to connect.
Customizable keyboard for gaming
To avoid excessive heating during long gaming phases the notebook is equipped with five fans and nine pipes for heat dissipation. In addition, through manual controls you can further cool the device in moments of overheating. The keyboard is customizable and features Cherry MX Brown backlit keys. Finally, the numeric keypad can be flipped over to become a precision touchpad. To get the most realistic audio possible the Predator 21 X has been equipped with four speakers and two subwoofers.
Predator 21 X, the notebook for professional gamers
Given the features and the high level left to user customization we are talking about a device only for experts. Playing and streaming games will be easy. Plus for those who like to film themselves during online challenges the notebook is highly customizable even on the outside. It comes with a blue dragon in the metal back shell but can be ordered with your own name or the flag of your country. And the first 300 booked will also have the serial number engraved on the panel.
Weight and price
To support all this power takes some weight. To be precise, 8.8 kilograms. In short, not exactly a laptop, on the contrary. The second obstacle for its purchase is the price: 9.999 euros. For features, however, is a device that will attract many professional gamers. For those who want to aim for a gaming notebook but want to spend a little less, Acer, also during CES, has informed that it will update its Predator 17 X series and that already starting this month notebooks with the new features more performing can be found on the market at just under 3,000 euros.
