Mino 312 Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Acer's Predator 21 X puts a curved screen and dual GTX 1080s in a laptop ! http://static3.uk.businessinsider.com/image/57cdb29add089591538b45d6-1200/the-acer-predator-21x-is-the-first-laptop-to-come-with-a-curved-display-its-a-2560-x-1080-resolution-ips-screen-with-a-219-aspect-ratio-a-normal-1080p-screen-with-a-169-aspect-ratio-would-have-1920-x-1080-pixels-but-the-21xs-screen-needs-extra-pixels-for-the-extra-width.jpg Acer’s new Predator 21 X is a monster. Not only have this machine’s designers put a curved 21-inch display on a laptop for the first time ever, they’ve also gone and given it two GeForce GTX 1080 GPUs as well. Add in five cooling fans, a 7th-generation Intel Core K-series processor, and space for as much as four terabytes of SSD storage, and you have a laptop that’s beyond obscene. Unveiling the 21 X at IFA in Berlin today, Acer acknowledges that this laptop is more of a proof of engineering acumen than any sort of "big seller" retail product. Each Predator 21 X will be made to order, starting in January of next year (which is how Acer can advertise today that it will have an Intel CPU that technically hasn't yet been announced). Among its other cool features and specs, there's also room for four DD4 slots that top out at 64GB of RAM, Tobii eye-tracking, a mechanical keyboard, a 4.2 sound system, a window to show off one of the big fans, and a numpad that flips over to turn into a touchpad. Oh, and it also has an SD card slot. How practical! Seeing the 21 X in person is a hilarious but also charming experience. We often say gaming laptops are ridiculous, but this one — with its gaping upside-down smile generated by the gap between the keyboard and the curved screen — is that extra bit more ludicrous. How do you even begin to judge or weigh the merits of such an outlandish creation? At 8kg, the 21 X weighs more than seven of Acer's newly introduced Swift 7 laptops, offering the direct opposite to the Taiwanese company's ultrathin portable. Specs (not confirmed !) :- Intel Core 7th-Gen "Kaby Lake"- 2x Nvidia GTX1080M- 64 Gb RAM (4*16Gb DDR4)- 4Gb SSD storage- Cost : between 3000 and 5000 $ http://img.clubic.com/08536752-photo-acer-predator-21-x.jpg Puddingsbane, MAD eKs, JillyJill and 1 other like this Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bennoo 541 Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 To be honest whoever buys this is dumb. Unless you a millionaire who travels 24/7 and likes video games of course. Otherwise you can build a 100x stronger pc for the same or even lower price actually. c: Nice review though Substanz and MAD eKs like this Quote Deal with it.

MasterYI 566 Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 The main difference (also advantage) from laptops to desktop its that THEY ARE PORTABLE... WHERE IN THE WORLD IS THAT A MOBILE DEVICE? FFS! It just doesnt makes sense, if you cant store it on your backpack and go roadtriping with it then its not a laptop Batman likes this Quote No fancy image here. Don't ask why!

It just doesnt makes sense, if you cant store it on your backpack and go roadtriping with it then its not a laptop It wasn't a problem for me to carry my PC when we had LAN parties and sure as hell wont be a problem to carry this thing around as well. I love it, I like it, I need it, I'll marry it. Mino and MasterYI like this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MasterYI 566 Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Sure, I have no problems taking it to a lan party either, but what about carrying it all around the country on a road trip? Quote No fancy image here. Don't ask why! Link to post Share on other sites
