Acer's $3,799 Triton 17 X Is a Gaming Laptop Beast
Acer is upgrading its Predator gaming laptop line with four new products, including a 17-inch powerhouse rig that features elite specs.
Acer calls the Predator Triton 17 X its "most powerful gaming laptop to date.” Configure it with up to an Intel 13th-gen Core i9-13900HX processor and Nvidia’s RTX 4090 GPU for laptops. Together, the components promise to deliver top-notch frame rates for PC games. But on the downside, the Windows 11 gaming laptop is expensive. It arrives in North America next month starting at $3,799.
The company adds that customers can also configure the Triton 17 X with up to 64GB of DDR5 RAM and up to 4TB in SSD storage. So it sounds like the pricing can easily balloon past $3,799, depending on the configuration. Users can also pick between two 17-inch displays—one that features mini-LED technology at a 250Hz refresh rate, or one that uses an IPS display offering a 240Hz refresh rate. Both screens feature a 2,560-by-1,600 resolution.
Despite the powerful specs, Acer says the laptop is less than 1-inch thick. It was designed to carry a premium feel by sporting a metal chassis. But it’s still fairly hefty, weighing in at 6.61 pounds. To prevent overheating, the Triton 17 X was built with a triple-fan cooling system, a vapor chamber, along with “strategically placed” intake and exhaust vents.
“The Predator Triton X 17 comes packed with other premium features including a per-key RGB keyboard, fingerprint reader, and glass touchpad,” the company added. “It also possesses a powerful DTS:X Ultra surround sound six-speaker system that provides stunning sound regeneration to elevate gaming, film, and music experiences.”
There's also an Ethernet port, Wi-Fi 6E, an SD card reader, and Thunderbolt 4
