Acer Predator 17X (GX-792, GTX 1080) review – 4K gaming on a laptop finally worth it?
Source: Laptop Media English Archive.org version
Our opinion of the notebook stays the same. The Predator 17X is an expensive piece of equipment offering the very best features and hardware the current industry can offer. It has excellent build quality, good keyboard and touchpad, impeccable display, which is a nice upgrade from the only Full HD version of the previous model with GTX 980 (Predator 17X (GX-791), and, of course, a solid cooling system to support it all.
