Acer Predator 21 X

When computing historians look back on 2017, I imagine they'll mark it as the start of the end of the cumbersome gaming laptop era. As ultra-thin and efficient gaming laptops start to become the norm, a breed of super-huge laptops are likely on their...

Acer Predator G1

Acer has doubled down on its Predator gaming strategy, launching its craziest gaming PC yet. The Predator G1 features top-end kit inside a chassis that has a volume of just 16 litres; you could call it a pint-sized powerhouse. Or, more accurately, a...

Acer Predator 21 X review

Unleashing the beast

Most powerful gaming laptop ever ; Huge screen ; Good cooling solution ; Easy to use software

Ridiculously expensive ; Heavy ; Very short battery life ; Bulky design

The Acer Predator 21 X is the world’s most powerful gaming laptop, and while the price tag is likely to be far too much for most people, there’s still a lot to admire about this machine.

Acer Predator G1 review

A stylish VR-ready PC you can take on the road

Diminutive size ; Packed with power ; Sharp looks and handy features

Pricey

Packed with features and power, this portable PC is a strong sophomore release for Acer's Predator gaming lineup.

Acer Predator 21X review

A no-holds-barred gaming monster with a price to match. If you can afford the Predator 21X, should you splash out?

It’s got proper wow Factor ; A curved display. On a laptop ; About as powerful as ‘portable’ gaming gets

Difficult to lug around ; Audio could be better

Only 300 people will own this beast of a machine, and those 300 will have the time of their lives gaming on it

Acer Predator G1 review

The compact Acer Predator G1 desktop isn't the fastest or most powerful system in our roundup of gaming PCs with Nvidia's new GeForce 1080 graphics cards . It's also not the smallest, nor is it the least expensive or easiest to upgrade. But in testing...

The Acer Predator G1 is a speedy, reasonably priced gaming desktop with a fun sense of design and an optional custom briefcase for on-the-go gaming.

Performance is slower than other similarly equipped gaming desktops; limited ports; requires two bulky external power bricks, and you've got to really like the sci-fi tank tread design.

The Acer Predator G1 isn't the fastest or even smallest VR-ready desktop, but it's powerful enough for new games and VR headsets, and has a sense of fun missing from other gaming PCs.

Acer Predator G1-710-70001 Gaming Desktop Review

Our previous gaming desktop reviews have focused on top end, custom-built gaming machines with overclocked CPUs, water cooling, and GTX 1080 graphics under the hood. When Acer offered us a chance to see what its Predator G1-710-70001 could do, we...

Stylish SFF Chassis ; Accessories

Price ; Performance ; Power Supply

Acer’s Predator G1-710-70001 gaming desktop is priced as high as custom shop machines with unlocked processors and watercooling radiators. Although it appears to offer everything a PC gamer could ask for with its stylish design, RGB lighting, and...

Acer Predator G1 review

The Predator G1 is a decent machine, but savvy gamers will want more.

The Predator G1’s looks like a serious gaming powerhouse. But dig deeper, and it starts to feel like the G1 is built merely to be “good enough.” The Core i7-6700 is a strong chip, but it doesn’t hold a candle to the unlocked version found almost...

Acer Predator 21 X review: overpowered overkill

The best gaming laptop $9,000 can buy

Incredible gaming experience ; Curved screen is super immersive ; Great performance

Barely portable ; Ludicrously expensive ; Battery life is terrible ; It’s not great at anything that’s not gaming

Acer Predator 21 X

Though it costs as much as a decent used car, the Acer Predator 21 X shows how much performance and how many features you can get if you cram every possible high-end component into a gaming laptop.

Insane 3D gaming performance. Expansive 21-inch screen. Mechanical gaming keyboard. Lots of innovative features.

Extreme price tag. 18.6 pounds of hardware. Lacks 4K screen. Two power bricks.

As an example of what a manufacturer can do, given an unlimited budget, the Acer Predator 21 X mostly succeeds. It's one of the fastest laptops we've tested, with the largest screen we've seen on a portable PC. It costs as much as one of the exquisite...
