Reviews for the Acer Predator Triton 17X PTX17-71-99W5

90% Acer Predator Triton 17 X (2023) Review
Source: Trusted Reviews English
It’s always hard to talk about value with a laptop this expensive, but when you look at the spec, the design and that spectacular scene, the Acer Predator Triton 17 X (2023) does add up. If you’re more focused on performance than anything else, there are more affordable options out there. The Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 with an RTX 4080 can be found for well under the three-grand mark. The Medion Erazer X40 Beast will cost you just over three grand the other way and comes with a similar core spec. But if you’re looking for the whole, awesome, mega-screen, ray-tracing, max detail settings at high frame rates package, the Predator Triton 17 X is a little short of astounding, and deserving of a place in the pantheon of PC gaming dream machines.

80% Acer Predator Triton 17X review: A 17-inch gaming powerhouse
Source: PC World English
The Acer Predator Triton 17X is an incredibly capable 17-inch gaming laptop benefiting from the tremendous power of its Intel i9-13900HX CPU and RTX 4090 GPU. But that’s not all… this laptop is also as tough as nails, has an excellent port selection, and an absurdly fine QHD+ mini-LED display with 240Hz refresh rate.

Acer Predator Triton 17X (PTX17-71) review – Mini LED screen with an absurdly powerful hardware
Source: Laptop Media English
One thing can be said for sure. This notebook is extremely powerful. However, we have to say two very important things. First – its RTX 4090 (175W) doesn’t really run at 175W – more like 140W. And second – it performs more like an RTX 4080 (175W) – the one we saw in the Lenovo Legion Pro 7 (16″, 2023). What is really important in the case of the Predator Triton 17X is its overly complex build. In order to achieve such a thin chassis, Acer has flipped the motherboard upside down, flatted every possible surface, and contacted the College of Winterhold. It is accessed by both the NVIDIA driver and within BIOS. Interestingly, Acer has omitted such a function from the Predator Sense app – similar to the Nitro series, where you could only enable it through BIOS.

17.00":

This range for display formats was and is a rarity. It is larger than the general standard of 15 inches, but not yet in the range of large workstations. One usually has higher screen resolutions available, but portability suffers from that.

2.99 kg:

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.

Acer's product portfolio also includes tablets that offer portable computing and multimedia capabilities.


90.75%: There are not very many models that are rated better. Most of the assessments are in percentage ranges below that. The tested product is not considered perfect, but the sources give a clear purchase recommendation.
