Acer's Predator gaming lineup has embraced some pretty aggressive designs over the years, but its latest Triton 17 X looks a lot more like a Razer Blade than I would have expected from a Predator-branded PC – and that's a good thing.
Acer sent us a pre-production model of the Predator Triton 17 X, which means we can't benchmark it yet or dissect its innards because performance, finish and / or components might not be in line with final shipping units. But from what I can see on the outside, I'm quite impressed. At about the same thickness as the Blade 16 (Acer claims 0.86 inches to the 0.87-inch Blade 16, although putting the two side-by-side, the Acer is slightly thicker at the back) and 6.61 pounds, this is far from a bulky laptop given that it supports up to an RTX 4090 and a Core i9-13900HX (both included in our unit).
