Remember when gaming laptops were big, heavy, and prohibitively expensive? Apparently those days are not over.  Not for Acer anyway, which will soon make available its previously announced Predator 21 X laptop starting at $8,999 (£9,999).

 

Interested? Well here are some specs:

Quote

21-inch screen, 21:9 aspect ratio, 2,560x1,080-pixel resolution

120GHz refresh rate

2000R curved screen

Nvidia G-Sync

Tobii Eye Tracking

Two Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 GPUs

Seventh-gen Intel Core i7-7820HK (overclockable) CPU

Mechanical keyboard uses Cherry MX switches and has an RGB LED under every key

 

Sounds good? Well it only weighs 8.8KG and well...is a proper desktop replacement...

Spoiler

What other neat features do it have? The numpad is a touchpad under-neath so you can turn it around for dem touchpad users, ermmmm it's a brick?

 

I mean is it a good idea? Not really, what's the point in 21:9 in a laptop when there is literally going to be zero vertical screen estate? 

With the curved screen, is it nice? Yep, is it going to make the laptop a lot thicker? Yep but I guess a few extra CM doesn't matter when it's already a couple of CM thick anyway.

Edit: 

Linus has officially touched the device :D 

 

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

Acer PR Guy 2: "I know, lets make a laptop that is totally impractical that no one would actually want to use or could afford"

Acer PR Guy 1: "Brilliant!!, that will get people talking about our brand"

Acer PR Guy 1 & 2: "Behold the Acer Predator 21 X! The best useless laptop on the market!"

120GHz refresh rate? DisplayPort 9001!?

Why did I have to scroll this far

 

only for the laser eye implants of the future

 

Anyways, for $9000 it better be 100% Titanium chassis, this looks like cheap plastic like always. Chump trap.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

He said, as well as the guy above him, 120 Ghz refresh rate. That is indeed very high framerate.
