This ludicrous engineering feat weighs 17.6 poundsĪcer throws in some other add-ons to make the laptop’s nearly five-figure price tag only slightly less jaw-dropping. You’re buying the device for its sheer and absurd level of power, illogically stuffed into a package that’s only portable if you’re willing to carry around a 17.6-pound clamshell monstrosity. But then again, you’re not buying the Predator 21 X for its looks. (The graphic is at least customizable.) It looks not too far off from a military laptop you’d see in the background of an action movie’s oversimplified hacking scene. The Predator 21 X is of course hideous, with rough, protruding black and silver edges and a gaudy blue dragon stock graphic slapped above the keyboard.
Acer announced the price at CES 2017 today and says it will be available starting in February. We first saw the laptop back at IFA in August, and now we know the whole package will run you an eye-popping $8,999. Its components are excessive, and it is the first ever such machine with a curved display - a 21-inch, 2560 x 1080 resolution IPS display to be exact. Meet the case in point: Acer’s new Predator 21 X gaming laptop. Gaming laptops are as much a contest of engineering bravado as they are an attempt at portability and practicality.
