Acer Predator 17 X review

 

A monster gaming notebook that's almost ready for 4K

Loaded to the max with features ; 4K resolution G-sync screen ; Relatively quiet cooling fans

High price for last gen video card ; Annoyingly loud power-on sound ; Extremely long battery recharge time

This is Acer's most powerful gaming laptop yet with the cooling system to prove it – but it'll cost you dearly.

Heavy and bulky. Price tag is high considering its use of a last-generation graphics card.

Conclusion While the Acer Predator 17 X isn't the best gaming laptop out there, it does what it was meant to do—play games—pretty well. And if visuals are your thing, it's hard to beat a 17-inch 4K screen. That being said, it's somewhat prohibitively...
