Acer announced its latest Predator Triton series laptops today; the Predator Triton 17 X and Triton 14. Both all-CNC metal designs pack the latest 13th Gen Intel CPUs combined with Nvidia's GeForce RTX 40 series GPUs while also providing Mini LED panel options with immersive 16:10 aspect ratios. 

Storage configurations range from 1TB to 4TB for the 17 X and 512GB or 1TB for the Triton 14. Both units have upgraded cooling systems and promise improved battery life. The Predator Triton 17 X and Triton 14 will be available for purchase starting next month. 

While the Triton 17X sounds impressive, the Predator Triton 14, packed with a 13th Gen Intel Core i7-13700H and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 GPU for under $1,500 is a welcome affordable option among the numerous hyper-expensive RTX 40 series gaming laptops we've seen.

The all-new sleek and powerful Predator Triton 17 X pairs a sophisticated minimalist design with game-ready hardware. It arrives ready for battle, powered by a 13th Gen Intel processor (up to the Core i9-13900HX). You will also find the latest Nvidia GeForce RTX 40 series GPUs all the way up to the 4090. The Triton 17 X can be configured with up to 64GB of RAM and up to 4TB of SSD storage. 

The Triton 17 X has a massive 17-inch WQXGA Mini LED display with a 16:10 aspect ratio that clocks a blazing 250Hz with a claimed 1000 nits of brightness. Acer paired the Triton's powerful components with a state-of-the-art thermal solution to cool the thin gaming laptop components under pressure. The thermal design features a vapor chamber with a compressed cooling system, allowing it to handle the most demanding game in its sleek form factor. Acer uses Vortex Flow technology that employs a triple-fan cooling system that includes two custom-engineered 5th Gen AeroBlade 3D fans.
