Once in a while, comes something so crazy, so ridiculous that you’d want it. And such is the Acer Predator 21 X gaming notebook. It’s preposterous. Launched at IFA 2016, this no-holds-barred-over-the-top gaming monster is now unleashed on the streets of Malaysia.
The gargantuan, award-winning Predator 21 X is the world’s first notebook with a curved screen. Aside from its heart-thumping hardware underneath, it also has integrated eye-tracking technology.
OK, so it’s heavy. It tips the scales at 8kg, and therefore isn’t something you’d want to lug around much.
Regardless, it’s a big bold step in gaming notebooks. The curved 21-inch IPS display (2560 x 1080 @ 120Hz) gives you an immersive gaming experience. It supports NVIDIA G-Sync, so expect ultra-smooth, tear-free gameplay.
The integrate Tobii eye-tracking technology is surprisingly accurate, and adds a new dimension to the gaming experience. Tobii’s mindblowing hardware and software integration enables you to take aim, identify enemies or take cover, just by gazing at objects on the screen.
Underneath its edgy, purposeful exterior is a 7th Generation Intel Core “Kaby Lake” processor, coupled with a spine-tingling dual NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 GPUs in a SLI setup.
It packs up to 64GB of RAM, and supports up to five storage drives.
In the audio department, it comes integrated with SoundPound 4.2+ (four speakers and two subwoofers), 3-way audio and Dolby Audio.
With such powerful hardware, the Predator 21 X stays cool with five system fans – three are ultra-thin AeroBlade metal fans.
Gaming wouldn’t be complete without a proper mechanical keyboard. The Predator 21 X doesn’t disappoint with its full-sized mechanical keyboard featuring Cherry MX Brown switches. Each key also has customizable RGB backlights.
One notable feature is the modular-based numeric keypad than can be flipped over and used as a Precision Touchpad. Quite brilliant!
