Most Powerful Laptop!

If you’re wondering why I played Overwatch and not some other more graphically demanding game. It’s because I’ve been trying to get into top 500 in Overwatch this season and I straight up find my aim being thrown off when I switch games. I’ve become an Overwatch snob. I’m such a loser. LULZ.

Yeah, that was once. Think about what Acer could build in that chassis with todays hardware! RTX 2080Ti (maybe Max-Q) or a big Quadro, a socket able 3950X and all that fairly well cooled. Maybe a better screen and boom, there is the new mobile battle station king. 

Hey, how’s it going? Dave2D here! This is something very special from Acer, it’s the Predator 21X. So this box has a laptop in it. It’s huge. It’s the biggest, it’s the heaviest, it’s the most expensive laptop in the world. And I normally don’t unbox things, but because this one’s kind of special, I’d though Id share the experience with you. This is so big. I don’t know why they needed such a large box.

Okay, this is surprisingly heavy.. Now I’m going to put this aside for just two seconds, while I look at the inside. Let’s see what else is in here. and he showed me what I was going to buy, this is what it would look like. What is this? Cool. We have a track pad. Oh, it’s got a number pad on the bottom. But it’s like a track pad/number pad. You get...pamphlets.

Oh no, its keys. Ash, this is so cool!

Okay, I’m assuming this has removable WASD keys. And a removable space bar, maybe for, like, I don’t know, we’ll see. That’s pretty cool. I should take this stuff out, cause what I’m going to--plug it up in a minute. I want to see what this looks like on the inside. Cause this is special. Holy smokes, you could get a serious workout just lifting this thing...all the time. I love the blue keys. This keyboard-- it’s so weird!

Seeing this type of keyboard in a laptop. Like this is like your regular desktop keyboard. And it’s a mechanical-- I think its mechanical. Feels...This feels like a really nice keyboard, and it’s weird to have this kind of key travel and this type of tactility. In a laptop? Are you kidding me?!

Okay, this is cool. I thought this would be a sticker, but it’s not. This looks like it’s, like, painted right in.

Okay, look at this. Limited edition, 17 out of 300. That’s pretty cool.

Okay, this shows you how you can use....this thing.

So you can... okay I get it. So you just plug it up.

Oh its magnetic!

That satisfying click. Does it come out? Okay, and you can just flip it. When you want number pad, and when you want...track pad.

Okay, I need to boot this up.

But now that I’ve looked at this for a second, the build quality is so good, there’s no play or flex on any parts of this laptop. The screen is probably one of the most unique features on this thing, and it’s a curved screen, and I’ve never actually used a gaming laptop that had a curved screen. The other thing that’s really cool is that it’s a refresh rate of 120Hz.Is to do this to your keys. 

It’s perfect, now it’s, like, customized to the way that your hand naturally rests. There’s an eye tracking thing down here, I’ve never been a user of Tobii eye tracking. I’ve seen people, like, play games directly off of this, but I’ve never tried it myself.

So... it says caution over here, but I’m going to crack it open. I should power this down.

Okay, were going in. I’m curious to see what’s inside this thing. am I giving this too much pressure?

I mean, it’s *only* $9,000. It’s coming apart, yes! Were in. Hard drive. 2 RAM sticks.

I’m going to see the underside now. So the insides pretty simple to access, if you need to get in there. So you’re able to run a lot of storage on this thing. 5 drive bays, you probably won’t need any kind of external storage. 

I’m going to port some specs, I’m not going to go into too much detail, but this is as loaded as a laptop gets. Its beyond impressive. In terms of the speakers, they don’t sound bad, but I think for a laptop this size, I had unrealistic expectations, I kind of thought it would sound amazing. This is the stuff that dream desktops are made of, and then when you put it into a laptop form, it becomes even crazier. It performs like a crazy powerful desktop, it’s insane how much horsepower this thing has.

Alright, I want to play some games. Let’s put this thing to the test. The frame rate on this thing is frisking amazing. One thing I just noticed, the fan noise when you’re idling is surprisingly quiet. I thought this thing would be significantly louder, because it’s a pretty powerful processor. But even when you’re playing games, if you’re on the default mode, it’s pretty quiet. 

he external temperatures are very comfortable, even when you’re playing games. When I’m running benchmarks, there is some thermal throttling on the default mode. I don’t know if the mic will pick it up, but the fans are on full tilt right now, and its loud. Obviously this is a very powerful laptop, but whether or not it’s worth it, chances are, if you’re watching this video, and you’re kind of wondering whether or not you should buy it, this is not for you.
