We also don’t expect Acer making a lot of money on this laptop since it won’t go into mass production and can only be ordered through your local retailer. But in the end, the Predator 21X is just a Bugatti in the world of laptops – an extremely expensive piece of machinery ($9 000), absurdly powerful, feature-packed and exotic. However, we did our extensive display tests, we had the chance to test it out with some of the modern games, to tear it apart and see what makes it tick and also play around with the cool Tobii Eye Tracking technology, which is one of the main key selling points of the product along with a fast 120Hz 21-inch curved IPS display. But judging by its cooling performance, it’s safe to say that it won’t fall too far behind a full-sized desktop machine integrating two GTX 1080 in SLI mode and a Kaby Lake quad-core processor. Luckily, we had the chance to snatch one of the early samples for a review, but unfortunately, the expected performance wasn’t reached when we tested the device. Until this year’s CES when the OEM announced that it will start shipping its first units sometime during Q1 of 2017. You’ve probably heard about the Acer Predator 21X that was announced way back during IFA 2016 in Berlin but since then, the company has kept the curtains closed around this ambitious project.
