Acer's new Predator 21 X is a monster. Not only have this machine's designers put a curved 21-inch display on a laptop for the first time ever, they've also gone and given it two GeForce GTX 1080 GPUs as well. Add in five cooling fans, a 7th-generation Intel Core K-series processor, and space for as much as four terabytes of SSD storage, and you have a laptop that's beyond obscene.

Edit: The screen resolution is 2560x1080p so it is a Ultrawide screen.

EDIT 2: Let's guess the price... 3999$ ?

I don't think there is a market for this and is supper fat.

All I know from my life experiences is that there really is a market for everything. Will surely be a niche but there are Golden plated super sportscars there for people who just want to spend the extra cash lol

This isn't a laptop, this is an All In One with a small screen as there is no way anyone is going to carry this 8KG monstrosity around unless they want a hernia.

The price of this thing will reflect its ridiculous looks and weight.

A lot of people in Japan don't have desktops because of space shortage so there is a market for this, how big is yet to be seen but there will be people who buy it.

If you're going to go for desktop replacement-big, might as well go the whole way!

No way would I ever be able to afford this

Yeah I like it too to be honest

Only thing I would change is the screen with a 3440x1440p one instead of 2560x1080p.

I'm pro-laptop and this is dumb. This is just stupid. xD Nothing should be above 17.3" for any reason. I mean... I... I'm floored at this design idea... It's so dumb.

Sorry, that's not that much. I could get 10TB of SSD storage in my Clevo P650 right now, and it's 2.5KG! 2x 1TB M.2 SSD (SATA only, sadly) and 2x 4TB Samsung 850 Evo's... I haven't got that much, because I can't justify or afford £2500(!) on two SSDs, but the potential is there...

Although I will agree that 1080SLI in a laptop is rather crazy/awesome. Shame about the screen; I'd prefer a 4K to a 21:9 (however 21:9 is nice for some stuff...)

I find anything under 20" very unpleasant, well when it comes to gaming at least..
How far away are you going to BE from the screen? I'm maybe two feet from the screen here and I've got a 15.6" machine.

Definitely interested in this one myself tbh. Looks awesome!

Probably isn't far off that you could build an ITX motherboard with a 6700k, mini 1080 and some crappy coolers. Slap a screen with a hinge on top along with a keyboard and you've got nearly the same thing with desktop performance...

The more I look at this thing the more I laugh and love it.

I'd wager you bludgeon 6-8 full grown men to death with this thing and still function.

I understand this is a niche of a niche but I'm in a niche of a niche category with my massive case and gtx 1080FE.
I hope whoever buys it enjoys it to it's fullest, this SLI curved ultrawide monster.

You'd think, but it's Acer.
