Acer Predator Triton 17X PTX17-71-008 Specs and Details

With its black monobloc monobloc CNC machined chassis with angular lines and cooled by a vapor chamber-type solution using fans including 2 AeroBlade 5th generation all-metal, heat pipes and air vents, it has a relatively discreet and elegant gaming appearance.

This creator gaming laptop offers good connectivity with its 2 USB-C Thunderbolt 4, its convenient HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or monitor for example, its wireless modules Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6E ax to communicate and connect remotely, its Ethernet and audio ports or its 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are connected to it.

Since a biometric reader is present, you can authenticate by fingerprint recognition through Windows Hello technology.

We can obviously backlight the keys of the chiclet keyboard to better discern them in the dim light.
Some will undoubtedly regret the lack of a numeric keypad yet practical and standard from 15 inches to facilitate the entry of numbers.

The screen stands out on several points starting with its mini-LED technology more precise than conventional LED and which also offers much more faithful colors than average with large vertical and horizontal viewing angles thanks to its DCI-P3 and IPS specifications.
Players will be delighted that the screen is adorned with a frequency of 250Hz clearly higher than the standard 60Hz because we get a much better gloal fluidity including in games, especially since its latency is reduced to 3ms. Lovers of High Definition content are not left out since the screen also adopts a 2.5K
definition higher than Full HD while its 16/10th format displays more information in height than the Classic 16/9th. Anti-reflective coating The screen also offers better visibility in bright environments (e.g. outdoors) than a glossy slab while being more restful for the eyes in prolonged use.

The Acer Predator Triton 17X PTX17-71-008 can appeal to those who have a big budget and want to invest in a very powerful large format laptop, especially in gaming and creation, and equipped with recent components.

It’s very simple: the most recent and greedy games of the moment can run on this gaming laptop creator at a good level of detail in 2.5K (more greedy than Full HD in GPU calculations).
Because it embeds neither more nor less than the most powerful mobile graphics card of the moment in version 16 GB of memory, the GeForce RTX 4090 ray tracing architecture NVIDIA Ada Lovelace high-end.

The most demanding players will be delighted but also the creatives. Because multimedia processing is accelerated by the GeForce RTX 4090 ray tracing under software taking advantage of GPU computing power, such as Adobe Premiere/Photoshop, VSDC or Sony Vegas.

In practice, the GeForce RTX 4090 ray tracing is automatically enabled/deactivated in real time by Optimus technology. It is requested to perform graphics processing deemed too heavy for the Intel Iris 770 inserted into the processor.

Whether with the Intel Iris 770 or the RTX 4090 you can watch photos and videos but also indulge in light games. Optimus favors the Intel 770 as much as possible despite its much lower performance because it is energy efficient which promotes autonomy.
In this matter count on about 5 hours of operation on battery in light use.

The heart of this computer, very powerful, obviously supports without concern the GeForce RTX 4090 ray tracing in its work.
Because it consists of a large amount of RAM of 64 GB and a high-end Intel Raptor Lake-HX Core i9-13900HX processor with 24 hybrid cores.

Obviously the power that we get thanks to this heart is much greater than that provided by the vast majority of models on the market, enough to see coming. But also to seduce demanding creators. For example, this core guarantees much faster processing than 8/16/32 GB and a classic Quad/Hexa/Octo Core processor. We strongly feel the difference in RAM and CPU intensive areas exploiting multi-cores, such as video editing, 3D rendering or photo editing.

The storage is up to the task, offering a large overall capacity of 2 TB by combining 2 x 1 TB SSDs configured in RAID 0 which brings much greater fluidity and responsiveness to everyday life than a hard drive.

One can install and store multiple games, software and files on this dual SSD storage, including personal creations. On a daily basis, thanks to this RAID storage, for example, we reach faster than with a hard disk on the cards of online games while the launches of games / software, processing and start/stop are faster.

Finally, expect heating and noise in case of high solicitations (eg games, treatments) from this versatile multimedia creator gaming laptop that can be suitable for those looking for a very powerful student laptop that does not need a large autonomy or carry it regularly. Because if its large 17-inch format is very comfortable in the context of a mainly sedentary use (eg at home) its dimensions and its important weight does not position it by nature as the most nomadic that is, even if it is thin.
