ACER Predator Triton 500 SE Laptop Review
Peter Donnell / 3 years ago
ACER is such an interesting brand, as while their main brand name sparks a vision of more mundane systems (sorry ACER, but it does), as soon as you add the word PREDATOR on the end, you immediately think of some of the finest, fastest and coolest hardware on the market. It just amuses me that a single brand name can spark two completely opposing visions. For today, it’s all about PREDATOR though, and that whole finest, fastest coolest thing seems like it’ll hold up too, as the Triton 500 SE is just about the best-equipped gaming laptop I’ve ever seen, and it’s sitting in front of me right now… oh yeah, this is going to be a good one.
ACER Predator Triton 500 SE
The feature list is jaw-dropping, taking all the best laptop technology options and ticking all of the boxes. A flagship Nvidia RTX 3080 mobile GPU, paired with the performance beast that is the 11th Gen Intel Core i9. That’s paired with a huge amount of DDR4 memory, two RAID configured M.2 NMVe drives, blazing-fast networking hardware. If that’s not enough, you’ve also got a high-refresh-rate high-end display, and powerful DTS:X Ultra audio. I don’t know about your home computer, but this laptop no doubt beasts the heck out of what most people would consider a decent desktop, let alone a laptop. Right, let’s get into it!
