Today at CES, Acer has launched two new gaming laptops under their Predator branding with the Predator Triton 900, and Predator Triton 500. Both feature the just announced NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPUs, but the Predator Triton 900 also brings some very unique features for a gaming laptop.

Let’s take a look at the Predator Triton 900 first, since it’s such a unique idea in the gaming laptop space. This 17-inch notebook features the same Ezel hinge system we first saw way back with the Acer Aspire R13, but seeing this type of convertible design in a gaming laptop brings some unique advantages not really seen in the Ultrabook form factor. The first advantage would be if the Triton 900 was to be used as a desktop replacement device. The screen could be rotated around to be used with an external keyboard and mouse, but allowing the user to still utilize the 17.3-inch 3840x2160 G-SYNC display. It would also be a powerful platform for any sort of touch gaming, or an insanely powerful tablet replacement. I think it’s a pretty smart way to increase the usability of a large form factor gaming laptop.

The Predator Triton 900 is well-outfitted too. It features the hex-core Intel Core i7-8750H processor, with six cores, twelve threads, and a frequency of 2.2 to 4.1 GHz in a 45-Watt envelope. Acer couples this with the just announced laptop form-factor NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080, with 8 GB of GDDR6. System memory is up to 32 GB of DDR3. Storage is 2 x 512 GB SSDs in RAID 0, which is of course silly but seems to still be a thing in the gaming market.
