Acer Predator 17 Gaming Laptop Review - IGN

ign.com

The Acer Predator 17 is a powerhouse gaming laptop that impresses with its strong performance and ample port selection. Its Intel Skylake i7 processor and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 GPU deliver exceptional gaming experiences, though the older processor may deter some. The large, 9-pound build and fingerprint-prone plastic chassis are downsides, making it less portable. Despite a short battery life, the laptop's cooling capabilities and customizable keyboard lighting add to its appeal. For gamers seeking a desktop replacement, its frequent promotional pricing makes it a compelling choice.

Specifications and performance - Acer Predator 17 review - Page 2 | TechRadar

The Acer Predator 17 Gaming Laptop is a powerhouse, perfect for gamers who prioritize performance over portability. Its massive 17.3-inch screen offers vibrant colors, but its hefty weight and backlight bleeding may deter some users. Boasting a powerful GTX 980M GPU and Intel Core i7 processor, the laptop delivers exceptional gaming performance with impressive benchmarks. The audio setup impresses with its loud, quality output. However, storage limitations on the SSD might require upgrades for avid gamers. Despite its bulk, the Predator 17 justifies its price with robust capabilities and minimal bloatware.

The Acer Predator 17 is a beastly gaming laptop with a striking design, robust performance, and impressive keyboard and trackpad. Its powerful GTX 1070 GPU and i7 processor ensure smooth 1080p gaming, while the G-Sync-enabled display offers good visuals. However, its heavy and bulky build might deter those seeking portability. The design is divisive and the SSD performance underwhelms, but it excels in connectivity and offers surprisingly good battery life for its class. Overall, it's a solid choice for gamers who prioritize power and features over sleekness.

A bit big, but fantastic anyhow

I don't know about others but I struggled to find a case for this beast as I got the larger 17.6 inch size. Great for gaming but heard it wasn't as much for music production. I use it to game on the go whenever I have spare time and I am starting out using this for music production cause it is all I have for it but moving to a Mac later on. Might even sell it.
