Acer Predator 21 X: the first curved-screen laptop

At IFA 2016, Acer launched both the thinnest and fattest laptops ever, with the beefy Predator 21 X offering the most over-the-top specs imaginable. You can order it with two GeForce GTX 1080 GPUs, four 1TB solid state drives, 64GB of RAM, and an Intel K-series processor. It’s a powerhouse that’s almost the size of a house.

I ended up on thinking the background music is the sound of 5 fans roaring.

Is this a laptop or a Drone firing device?


ill buy it and take for school for note taking

[saivenkatpokala]

Acer produced the slimmest laptop and also this

[darkyoungknightblood]

The back looks like the front of a Lambo

Seems perfect for any outdoor situation (vr demo rig, rendering while travel, concert video, city mapping, etc) where you don't want to bring huge bag with the pc case, display and loads of peripherals.

Were the lights on when you guys walked in the room and were just like, nahh don't need em

[Amuaya]

this would've been the ultimate portable 4k gaming machine if it had a 4k screen to make use of those dual 1080s

[oscargt]

I wonder how good it is for editing 4K footage in premiere

[trentbosnic]

If you consider it more of a portable desktop than a laptop, it's pretty god damn amazing.

someone please tell me the background music ??

[mpperrusquia]

I have the Predator X34, GTX 1080, i7 6800k, 64GB DDR4, watercooling, and plenty of storage, this is like my freaking monster computer crammed into a laptop with an extra 1080.

Looks so monstrous, literally a portable desktop

[rickysamuel]

What is the background music
Anyone?!

[seangehrke]

Damn this has to run any game with these specs

8 kilograms... Muricans can't understand how much is that :(

[Ickguenthrasil]

alright I'm not a laptop gamer so I don't really know, but don't the thickness, size and weight kinda defeat the whole purpose of this device?

[matyi]

"It's only 8 kilograms" how you know that The Verge got paid by Acer.

[russelljennings]

if the product isn't done don't show it off I hate when company's do that.

[kingwindie]

i want it because it's not trying to be cute, it's a rugged looking beast
