Remember the $9000 Predator 21 X? Well, Acer’s monstrosity has officially been launched in the Philippines last February 8 during the grand opening of High Grounds Café, powered by TheNet.com (TNC).
For those unfamiliar, the Predator 21 X is an insane gaming laptop, and the first to have a curved 21-inch FHD ultrawide IPS display. Inside, it’s powered by two NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080s in SLI, a 7th gen Intel Core i7 processor, and 64 GB of DDR4 memory. For storage, the 21 X has two 512GB PCIe SSDs, along with a 1TB 7200rpm HDD.
The Predator 21 X also features the Tobii eye tracking system, where players can control their in-game view with their eyes instead of a mouse. And it has a full mechanical keyboard, with Cherry MX Brown switches. No official pricing and availability date has been announced for the local market, though expect it to be priced at around half a million Pesos.
If you’re really interested in getting one right now (maybe you won the lottery or something), representatives from Predator said that you should contact the Predator Philippines team at their official Facebook page.
