This Acer Predator Triton 900 transforms into four modes and it’s yours for RM15,999

Acer Malaysia is aiming to take the gaming industry by storm as they’ve debuted a slew of their latest Predator gaming notebooks and desktops though their largest and most powerful rig, the Predator Triton 900 took centre stage as it comes with a radical design that arguably makes it a full-fledged gaming convertible that can change into any of four different modes on demand.

Also launched alongside the Predator Triton 900 are refreshed variants of their popular Predator Helios 300 gaming notebook, the Nitro 5 and Nitro 7 gaming notebooks as well as a last minute surprise in the form of the Swift 7 ultraportable. All of the notebooks are available for immediate purchase though some subvariants will arrive in early August 2019.

Acer Predator Triton 900

The Acer Predator Triton 900 comes with what Acer calls an Ezel Aero Hinge that suspends the 17.3-inch 4K UHD IPS touchscreen display that allows it to prop itself up like a virtual easel for creatives, the usual notebook mode, a display mode and a stand mode if you’re aiming to share the display with your friends during a gaming session. The form factor is certainly novel indeed and pulling off requires precise tolerances, especially seeing the Triton 900’s unique Ezel Aero Hinges as the display was able to stay in position without it wobbling.

The rest of the hardware powering the Predator Triton 900 consists of the latest 9th gen Intel Core i7 processor, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 graphics card with 8GB GDDR6 VRAM, 16GB GDDR4 RAM upgradeable to 32GB via 2 SODIMM slots, a 1TB (2 x 512GB) PCie NVME SSD in RAID o configuration. Keeping all this hardware cool are a pair of 4th generation Aeroblade 3D cooling fans which offer enhanced cooling over its predecessors. Rounding things off are an individually RGB backlit mechanical keyboard. The price for this magnificence? A cool RM15,999 backed by a 2-year local on-site and Accidental Damage/Theft warranty policy.
