Acer Predator 21 X is the first laptop with a curved screen ... and this is just the beginning of curiosity about this model.
Some time ago, Acer announced a 21-inch Predator 21 X gaming laptop. The CES 2017 revealed more details about it - as it may have been suspected, it overtook all other laptops in the market ... also in terms of price.
The Predator 21 X is the world's first 21-inch IPS curved screen (2560 x 1080 resolution at 120 Hz refresh rate) that works in conjunction with Tobia's built-in eye tracking technology. Visual tracking allows you to identify enemies, aim, find cover by looking at the selected item on the screen. Among more than 45 games supporting visual tracking, we will find: Elite Dangerous, Deus Ex: Humanity Split and Watch Dogs 2. Curved screen is also equipped with Nvidia G-Sync technology for smooth play.

Customers can use the included set to replace the standard black keys W, A, S and D for their turquoise counterparts. Numeric keypads can be easily converted into a precise touchpad.
To make the action even more livelier, the Predator X 21 features a 3-way audio system (tweeter, midrange and bass) for Hi-Fi sound from 4 speakers (2 tweeters, 2 mediums) and 2 subwoofers that give full range of output. bandwidth.
Under the hood included an Intel Core i7-7820HK (with overclocking capability) and two Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 graphics cards combined in SLI mode. In addition, 64 GB of DDR4-2400, two 256 GB SSD M.2 PCIe in RAID 0 and a 1 TB hard drive (7200 RPM) are available.

That's not all, because the manufacturer also used the Double Killer DoubleShot Pro network adapter - it automatically chooses the fastest Internet connection (Ethernet or wireless) and directs the highest priority traffic to this interface. A USB Type C port with Thunderbolt 3 40 Gb / s interface was also introduced.
To efficiently disperse excess heat without sacrificing performance during intense gaming, the notebook features an advanced cooling architecture consisting of 5 fans (including 3 ultra-thin AeroBlade blades) and 9 heatpipes. The manufacturer also used the Acer Dust Defender system, which removes dust accumulation and improves heat dissipation. The Acer CoolBoost application adjusts the air flow through the fans to provide efficient cooling when using the equipment.
