【Watch Erotica Manila Episode 2】

Acer's Predator 21 X is Watch Erotica Manila Episode 2quite possibly one of the most extravagant laptops we've ever seen.

From its 17-pound weight, to its curved 21-inch display (a world's first), to its eight heat pipes for cooling, to its two built-in sub-woofers, to its VR-ready graphics, Acer's "mobile" behemoth is everything Apple's new MacBook Pros aren't.

The Predator 21 X also comes with a hefty price to match its ridiculous specs: $9,000 to start when it goes on sale in February.

When we saw the Predator 21 X in person at IFA in September, we couldn't get over its Decepticon-like design that seems capable of taking a serious beating.

Not much has changed. It's still an absurd amount of power in a machine that you can (if you want to) toss into a (very large) backpack.

Here's a recap of its marquee features:

  • 21-inch curved screen (2,560 x 1,080) with NVIDIA G-Sync

  • Tobii eye-tracking technology

  • Overclockable 7th-gen Intel Core i7 processor

  • 64GB of DDR4-2400 RAM

  • Up to four 512GB SSD in RAID 0, one 7200 RPM hard drive (up to 2TB)

  • Dual NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 graphics in SLI

  • SoundPound 4.2+ (four speakers and two subwoofers)

  • 3-way audio and Dolby Audio

  • 5 system fans for cooling (3 are metal AeroBlade)

  • Full-sized mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX keys and number pad 

The Predator 21 X's aggressive edges and vented design aren't going to be to everyone's liking, but for the energy-drinking, dubstep-immersed gamer stereotype, it might be just the laptop to save up for -- if only for the trackpad that flips over and turns into a number pad.
