    Acer Predator 21 X (GX21-71) in-depth review

    You've probably heard about the Acer Predator 21X that was announced way back during IFA 2016 in Berlin but since then, the company has kept the curtains closed around this ambitious project. Until this year's CES when the OEM announced that it will start shipping its first units sometime during Q1 of 2017. Luckily, we had the chance to snatch one of the early samples for a review, but unfortunately, the expected performance wasn't reached when we tested the device. But judging by its cooling performance, it's safe to say that it won't fall too far behind a full-sized desktop machine integ[...]

    Pros

    • Impeccable build quality and outsanding design
    • Desktop-like performance thanks to the dual GTX 1080 SLI setup and big overclocking capabilities
    • Curved 21-inch IPS (120Hz) Quantum Dot display with excellent properties + G-Sync
    • Tobii Eye Tracking sensors
    • Mechanical Cherry MX Brown keyboard
    • Offers easy and generous RAM and storage upgrade options - up to 5 drives (4 of which support PCIe NVMe)
    • A big collection of ports and connectors including Thunderbolt 3 (via USB-C), two DisplayPorts, HDMI, etc.

    Cons

    • Absurdly big and heavy (up to ~86 mm thick and 9 kg heavy) + 2x 1.25 kg charging bricks
    • A lot pricier than we would expect
