If you are in the market looking for a beast (yes, beast) gaming laptop, then look no further than the Acer’s Predator 21 X. Announced at 2017 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week, the Predator 21 X runs on Windows 10 and is built ONLY for ultimate game enthusiasts with one purpose in mind, extreme gaming.
The Predator 21 X is fueled by the latest 7th Generation Intel Core i7-7820HK processor, a 5 fan cooling system with a few metal AeroBlades to boot and dual NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 GPUs in SLI for unmatched graphics performance.
A 21-inch curved IPS display (2560 x 1080 resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate) delivers true immersive gaming experience, especially when combined with the notebook’s Tobii eye-tracking technology. The curved screen also features NVIDIA G-SYNC technology, ensuring smooth and sharp gameplay.
The Predator 21 X’s Tobii eye-tracking camera works with Windows Hello, supporting secure and password-free sign-in by recognizing your face. Skype for Business Certification ensures you can communicate with crisp and lag-free quality, and also allows for clearer, higher quality audio and a great Cortana with Voice experience.
