Acer’s Predator 21X gaming rig costs as much as a car and games like a dream

If you possess the burning desire to get one of the most powerful gaming rigs on the planet and have scads of cash to burn, then you will appreciate the charms of what Acer’s mammoth Predator 21X gaming rig has to offer.

This behemoth is the world’s first gaming rig to come with a 21-inch curved 2,560 x 1080 IPS display with NVIDIA G-Sync tech.

The rest of the hardware under the hood is equally over the top: a 7th gen Intel Core i7-7820HK processor paired with 64GB DDR4 RAM, a 1TB hard disk and two 513 GB PCIe NVMe SSD in a raid 0 configuration along with not one but two NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 GPUs in SLI.

With this much heavy hardware, the Predator 21X sports a five fan cooling system with three of the fans sporting their patented Aeroblade custom machined metal fans located on critical components for enhanced cooling along with nine heat pipes to keep the whole affair chill.

The Predator 21X’s keyboard has Cherry MX Brown mechanical switches, is backlit and has a quaint touchpad oriented on the right that can be flipped around to reveal a numeric keypad.

The 21X also has Tobii eye tracking tech so you use eye-tracking in selected games. On the audio front it also has 4 speakers and a whopping trio of subwoofers as well as Dolby Audio support.

Cramming all this in means the Predator 21X is rather hefty so it ships with a tough Pelican case to tote it around. All this clocks in at a whopping RM39,999 inclusive of GST. If the price tag hasn’t deterred you, you can email Acer Malaysia to plunk down an order at [email protected].

In the meantime, Acer Malaysia has a five-day roadshow at the ground floor, centre court of IOI City Mall which will also showcase Acer’s other gaming and productivity hardware.
