Acer goes nuts, makes the world’s first gaming laptop with a curved display


This is it people. The ultimate gaming laptop has landed, and boy is it something else. Acer has just unveiled their massive 21-inch behemoth of a gaming laptop, completely with monster specs and a curved display.

Dubbed the Predator 21X, this laptop with a gigantic 21-inch display is not something you can easily carry around. Nevertheless, it does carry plenty of powerful hardware such as the new 7th Gen Intel Core processor and dual GTX 1080 graphics. In fact, the device is so powerful it needs five fans to keep it cool, and that’s barring the fact that these components can still be overclocked!

Look at that. Glorious.

As if that weren’t enough, the device also accommodates an full size mechanical keyboard equipped with Cherry MX switches and a detachable numeric pad that also functions as a touchpad for the laptop.
And to top it off, the Predator 21X also comes with the Tobii Eye Tracker, allowing users to control some games with their eyes and providing a huge number of security features to the user.
The pricing of the Predator 21X has yet to be announced, though looking at the spec sheet we can easily assume that it’s probably not going to be a value for money proposition.

    The only problem is i never ever trust the build quality of ACER brand.
    Somehow their product is not durable enough for long term use.

    Also Acer casing always looks and feel like cheapo plastic compare to other reputable brand.

    Thinkpad is one of the best brand that i can recommend for notebook

      Depends on what kind of thinkpas…the e570 had many issues including a black screen of death and the g and b series had terrible build quality which resulted to broken hinges in less than a year.

      With regards to this acer model you can’t compare it with their former ones. It is in a different league and It will be high end and terribly expensive. But anyway laptpps are never a good deal to me when compared to pcs.

          Laptop market is sad because lack of upgradebility and How fast it may become obsolete – Expect this one to come at minimuk 4k dollars if not more

            Is that all? Yasir would only need to sell 1 kidney in the US, he’d still have 1 left 😉
