The Acer Predator is a monster gaming laptop. It has some cool branded software and flashy lights, but ultimately, you’ll want it because it’s a rock-solid machine that plays almost any game with exceptional fidelity. While the screen could be sharper, the Predator 17 does everything in its power to earn its keep & command your attention.
At a glance, Acer Predator G9 792, Gaming Laptop, Intel Core i7-6700HQ, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M(8 GB DDR5), 32 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD, 1 TB HDD, 17.3", Windows 10
Design The Predator 17 leans so heavily on a black-and-red color scheme and a destructive, pointed design, you could be excused for mistaking it for a villain in a’80s movie. The framework is made of plastic with a muted finish all around in order to give the device a soft touch. I expected a high-end laptop made of plastic to feel cheap, but the matte gives the plastic a pleasantly smooth, resistant texture all around.
The device is positively massive: 16.7 x 12.7 x 1.6 inches and 9.2 pounds. Compare this to similar machines: the Aorus X7 Pro-Sync(16.8 x 12.0 x 0.9 inches, 7.2 pounds) and the Asus G751JY(16.4 x 12.5 x 0.9 inches, 8.4 pounds), and it’s clear that the Predator is not out to save any space.
The Predator 17 has a stunning, bright LED screen with an impressive range of color, but we wish it offered a higher resolution than 1080p. The audio on the system is absolutely superb. The Predator 17 features four speakers, as well as two subwoofers on the underside of the device. With 1.42-mm key travel and an actuation of 60 grams, the Predator 17’s keyboard feels respectably resistant. While it’s not as luxurious as having a fully mechanical keyboard, like on the MSI G680 Titan, it’s also not nearly as heavy or bulky, so the trade-off is a fair one. Although Acer advertises that the Predator 17 should get 5 hours of battery life, our tests suggested that the system is a bit more durable than that.
Overall Performance:- The aforementioned Core i7 processor and the Predator 17 features an inspiring 32GB of RAM(upgradeable to 64, ) as well as an joined Intel graphics card that can save some power and strength for the fans when you’re just typing up an e-mail or watching an video.
If your laptop stays on your desk all day, a 17- or 18-inch system will likely provide everything you need for work and play. That why many gaming notebooks are in this size category it well.
