First Look: The Predator Triton 16 Slims Down Acer's Flagship Gaming Laptop
TAIPEI—We see lots of laptops announced at Computex every year, but one that's truly caught our eye in 2023 is the Acer Predator Triton 16 (PT16-51), a sleek-looking gaming laptop that promises uncompromising power and even more portability than before.
