How do you fancy a computer that is as pricy as a mid-sized sedan? That is what the new Acer Predator 21 X is, and it is now available in Malaysia for an eye-watering RM 39,999. The laptop is part of Acer’s a five-day roadshow. The Predator 21 X is the world’s first laptop to offer a curved 21-inch IPS display (2560 x 1080 resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate) that is taking Acer’s Predator brand position in gaming to a new level with its showcase of advanced technology and never-before seen innovation.
Acer Sales & Services Sdn Bhd General Manager of Products, Sales and Marketing, Chan Weng Hong said, “The Predator 21 X along with Acer’s wide range of gaming devices reinforces our commitment to premium gaming with discerning enthusiasts around the world in mind. The Predator 21 X is Acer’s flagship gaming laptop and is advanced beyond anything available in the market today.”
Bruce Howe, General Manager, Microsoft Consumer and Devices Sales, Microsoft Malaysia added, “On behalf of Microsoft, I congratulate Acer on the launch of the world’s first curved screen laptop. We are proud and excited to collaborate with Acer to deliver a modern device powered by Windows 10. At Microsoft, our aim is to enhance the user’s experience and with this in mind, the device is packed with amazing built-in features like Windows Ink, Paint 3D, enhanced gaming features and Windows Hello that enables users to login in to their devices securely. Also designed to provide the most complete 3D experience, Windows 10 is the best gaming platform for users today.”
Underneath that monstrosity that is the Predator 21 X are components that can rival even the best desktop computers available out there. At the heart of the machine is an Intel Core i7 processor, what is overclockable by the end user to get more out of their gaming experience. It has not one but two NVIDIA GTX 1080 in SLi to deliver unmatched graphics to the gamer. Talking about graphics, the 1080p, 21:9 screen on the Predator 21 X is curved, the only machine in the market that is designed to feature a curved screen. This wider size also gives games a wider view angle for the gamers to immerse themselves in the world they are playing in. Of course if that is not enough, up to three additional screens can be connected to the 21 X, as well as 3D goggles for the true immersive gaming experience.
To enhance immersion even further to the next level, the laptop also integrates Tobi eye-tracking technology. The eye tracker consists of illuminators and cameras that complement keyboards, mice and gamepads as an input method for a new gaming experience. You can identify enemies, aim, and take cover simply by gazing at objects on the screen.
For gaming controls, the Predator 21 X comes with a full-sized keyboard with a full complement of Chery MX Brown switches, to give the best tactile experience while typing or gaming on the machine. The keys are full RGB and can be customised by using Acer’s own software. Cooling down the machine is up to the five fans that Acer has installed into the Predator 21 X.
A lucky person will be able to purchase this limited unit as there will be only one available in Malaysia, for the price of RM 39,999. In conjunction with the arrival of the model, Acer is running a five-day road show where the Predator 21 X will be showcased alongside other current Acer products. Customers who purchase select Acer devices including Acer Aspire VX, Acer Swift Series and Acer Switch Alpha 12 will be rewarded with value added goodies during this event in IOI City Mall, Putrajaya, from 17 to 21 May 2017.
