Acer is throwing its hat in the compact gaming
laptop space with an unusual new notebook called the Acer Predator Triton 700.
The notebook sports a 15.6 inch display and a body
that’s just 18.9 mm. It’s not exactly the lightest laptop
around, weighing in at 2.6kg (about 5.7 pounds), but it’s a powerful computer
with an overclockable Intel Kaby Lake processor, NVIDIA GeForce 10-series
graphics, and an unusual design with a glass touchpad above the keyboard.
The Triton 700 features a full HD IPS display,
support for two NVMe PCIe solid state drives, and up to 32GB of DDR4-2400
memory. It has Thunderbolt 3 support, two USB 3.0 ports, Gigabit Ethernet, and
HDMI 2.0. And the system has a mechanical keyboard with programmable RGB
lighting. There’s also a fan control system that lets users adjust the system
cooling policy manually for performance that best meets their gaming needs.
The Predator Triton 700 gaming laptop is set to
hit the streets in August, but it won’t be cheap: Pricing starts at US$ 2,999 in
North America and 3,399 Euros in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
