Acer's massive 21-inch laptop looks like a Decepticon ready to pwn you
BERLIN — Go big or go home, right?
That seems to be the approach Acer took with its absolutely ginormous Predator 21 X gaming laptop. Not only is its 21-inch display ridiculous to even put into a "laptop" (your lap's gonna get crushed with this thing on it) the screen is also curved — the world's first on a laptop, according to Acer.
The Predator 21 X, which was announced at IFA 2016, is so much WTF that you probably can't even right now.

You don't even have to know what's running this monster of a laptop to know that it's powerful. Look at it, it looks powerful enough to shoot lasers in every direction.
Its angular Decepticon-like body should strike fear in any n00b.
The Predator 21 X has so much performance hardware inside that I'm just going to list off its specs in the hopes you actually understand what it's capable of doing for you. I mean, there's even so much audio tech going on your ears may not be able to take it all in.

5 system fans for cooling (3 are metal AeroBlade)
Full-sized mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX keys and number pad
The number pad even flips over to become a trackpad. Unreal. Like WHAT?
No word on important features like battery life or storage, but like come on. It's probably going to have terrible battery life like most of these big-ass gaming laptops and tons and tons of storage.
Acer also didn't announce pricing but said it'll be available for pre-order later this year. Based on the specs and the sheer size of this laptop, you can probably take a wild guess as to how much it'll cost: A lot. Start saving up kiddies!
