The Acer Predator Triton 500 SE is certainly a powerful machine, and its unique look makes it quite an eye-catcher as well. If there was ever anything that will hold you back from getting it, it’s the weight (assuming you need something more portable), and the price, as it’s retailing for RM12,999. At the end of our Acer Predator Triton 500 SE review, I award this gaming laptop with our Silver Pokdeward.

If Acer's original 14-inch 'Style Edition' Predator Triton didn't quite deliver on scale or power, then the Predator Triton 500 SE is here to up the ante. It's got a bigger, brighter and meaner screen, plus power options that are far more considerable - but then so is the price tag, so you'll need to get saving. The design - pretty much pitched as 'gaming laptop for the business person' - is more discreet than your gaming laptop average, but there's still all the RGB lighting, cooling vents, ports and Turbo overclocking that you could want. It's good to see something a bit different to diversify the gaming laptop and creators market. Although, as we said of the original SE model, the 500 SE ought to up its game when it comes to screen sturdiness - especially at this price point.

The Acer Predator Triton 500 SE, there is a lot to like about this laptop. Clean and professional aesthetics, lots of high-performance ports, and a beautiful 16-inch display. I know the 12th gen is here but for gaming, it doesn’t really have that much difference when compared to the 11th gen. If I were to complain, I would pick on why they would pick the Core i9 and RTX 3080 110W. It makes the laptop more expensive for a small margin of performance. This laptop is best to go with i7 and RTX 3070 even if it is 110W. RM12,999 for i9 and 3080 is only for those who have extra to spare.

If money is no object, and performance is the absolute objective, then there’s simply no competition. A machine that’s greater than the sum of its parts. With premium components and its stunning build quality, it delivers remarkable gaming performance with ease, making it one of the fastest systems I’ve ever reviewed.

The Acer Predator Triton 500 SE is a solid do-it-all laptop but it's not the best overall gaming laptop in terms of performance and thermal management. Although it nails the basics, it's hard to recommend a product designed for gamers that drops the ball in these areas. Gamers need the best bang-for-the-buck for performance but also require good thermal management for long gaming sessions. It’s competition does better in those respects. However, there is a place for this laptop. If you dabble in gaming but perhaps do more photo or video editing, or are coding, this may be the right one for you. The Triton is relatively thin and light for a gaming laptop, making it easy to carry with you for everyday tasks and the occasional mobile gaming session It has an understated design that doesn’t stand out too much at work or at school, if that’s a concern. Its keyboard is nice to type on, and has a large, bright, high-res screen so coders and writers alike will find this pleasant to use for long work sessions.

Nonetheless, the 3060 (starting at $1749) and 3070 (starting at $1999) configurations are arguably the better value and where most people should end up shopping, so we’ll have to see how competitive this Triton 500 SE ends up once available in stores. Based on past experience and the little data available so far, I’d expect it to be aggressively priced in most regions. Anyway, that’s about it for now with this preview of the Acer Predator Triton 500 SE PT516-51s. I hope we can have the finalized review soon enough, and in the meantime, let me know what you think about this series and leave your comments below so I can go over them in the update.

The Acer Predator Triton 500 SE has the look of a top tier gaming laptop from its aggressively styled build, beautiful WQXGA display and respectable specs. But behind those attractive specs is a hollow device that offers below average gaming performance, low storage and weak speakers.

For everything that’s on offer, the Predator Triton 500 SE is both a remarkable value and impressive balancing act. Gaming laptops with high refresh rates tend not to come in 16:10 aspect ratios, and the one notable exception—Dell’s XPS 17 9710—has both a standard 60Hz display refresh rate and a higher price ($2,099, when similarly equipped) to boot. While the Triton is by no means inexpensive at $1,750, it’s a reasonable ask for its combination of portable gaming and productivity on an ultra-smooth screen. Best of all, you might not even be embarrassed to be spotted with it.

The Acer Predator Triton 500 SE is a gaming laptop that doesn't just want to be a gaming laptop. Instead, it falls into a burgeoning category of more work-friendly gaming rigs, joining the likes of the Asus ROG Zephyrus G15, Gigabyte Aero 17, and Dell XPS 17 9710 in toning down its wild side. There are no racing stripes or flashy LED patterns here, and the 2560 x 1600 resolution screen has a taller 16:10 aspect ratio to help with regular old office work. Yet the Acer Predator Triton 500 SE is ready to party when needed, with an Intel Core i7-11800H CPU, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Max-Q GPU, and a 165Hz refresh rate display for super smooth gaming (and, to be honest, web browsing). While some games don't play nice with a 16:10 aspect ratio, and the display could be more vibrant, overall this is a solid value for a laptop that's equally comfortable at work or play.

The Acer Predator Triton 500 SE marks a fine update to a good gaming laptop line, offering an uncommon screen size and the latest hardware to deliver a powerful, reasonably portable gaming experience. The performance may not blow you away for the price, and the disappointing keyboard and 512GB SSD keep it from feeling truly special, but it approaches the power of truly high-end gaming rigs for less money, so it may be just what you're looking for in the midrange tier.

Despite the slight heating issues with this laptop, we have to say, that it singlehandedly destroys every mobile device that we have tested. Its computational performance is simply unmatched. Yes, we are yet to test more Alder Lake CPUs, as well as Zen 3+ devices from AMD, but a performance increase of 15-30% is definitely something worth talking about. Finally, there is the design. This incredibly powerful gaming/productivity laptop looks like a sleek business machine. We absolutely love that! And the fact that it has a good metal build is only adding to our satisfaction. On the other hand, if you are a gamer, you won’t be impressed by the keyboard, which is good for typing, but not the best for playing shooters, or racing games. Indeed, you can’t have the best of both worlds without compromises. We feel that some of them are justified, while others could have definitely been avoided. Without a doubt, though, the star of the show is the new Core i7-12700H. It not only provides an unmatched performance (as of the time of writing this review) but also helps with the battery life.

The Acer Predator Triton 500 SE isn’t a bad gaming laptop, and the RTX 3080 Ti model I tested has powerful hardware for the price. But it’s still not worth the price premium, especially with how loud the fans are, especially with new graphics cards coming soon, and especially when the RTX 3070 Ti laptops get you 80 percent of the performance for almost $1,000 less. However, with Nvidia’s new 40-series GPUs on the horizon, the pricing for many gaming laptops equipped with 30-series GPUs may cool down significantly.

Like I said, there are always other tiers to choose from. If you just play the occasional game after work, you probably won’t want to spend this much money on a gaming laptop. On the other hand, there are enthusiast tiers as well. The Predator 500 SE offers the most powerful components you can get in a gaming laptop, all while fitting into a slim and light chassis.

The Acer Predator Triton 500 SE is a well-designed, elegantly styled gaming laptop that also makes for a solid work laptop or content creator laptop. It fits in at the office as well as at home in your gaming area. The potent Intel Core i9 CPU and Nvidia's top-of-the-line 3080Ti GPU grant this stylish gaming laptop all the power it requires to vanquish not only all your gamer enemies, but allows you to edit photos or videos, and knock out those expense reports too. Though the Predator feels lighter and looks smaller than you would expect, once you pop it open and are introduced to the 16-inch, 16:10 aspect ratio, 240Hz display, you will find yourself totally immersed in whatever you’re doing. I absolutely recommend the Acer Predator Triton 500 SE for those secret gamers who like to accomplish a little bit of everything during their day.

The Predator Triton 500 SE tries to do it all, and it delivers on every front. Its flagship processor is a best-in-class performer, its 1600p display is fast and vivid, and its body is thin and relatively light. For $2,999, this laptop offers everything you’d expect from such a premium product. This is not a laptop made with the best performance per dollar in mind—it’s the best performance possible in a small body, and its steep price tag is worth it if you need the best laptop money can buy. The Triton 500 SE doesn’t sacrifice beauty or a good laptop experience for raw framerates, meaning you can enjoy incredible gaming on the go without having your pack weighed down by a bulky PC.

It’s true that the Acer Predator Triton 500 SE is a step behind competing gaming laptops with higher-wattage RTX 3080 Ti GPUs, namely the MSI GE76 Raider and Razer Blade 17. These competing models, however, cost $1,000 or more than the Predator Triton 500 SE, making it a great value at its price of $3,000. The Triton extends its value and versatility by using a 16-inch, 16:10 display. The MSI and Razer models feature larger, 17.3-inch displays that make them more likely to stay anchored to a desk than as an everyday laptop. While the Triton is certainly not the most compact laptop, it remains fairly portable while providing ample screen real estate that won’t cramp your style or multitasking ways. It’s overqualified to be a productivity laptop that moonlights as a gaming system, but a strong argument can be made that it delivers great value as a gaming laptop that can also be used at school or in the office.

The Acer Predator Triton 500 SE is a world-class 16-inch gaming laptop, with extremely fast frame rates and a handsome high-refresh screen to show them off. But it costs $600 more than the MSI Vector GP66 and roughly $1,000 more than the Lenovo Legion 5i Pro Gen 7 without significantly outperforming them. It earns a thumbs up, but falls short of Editors' Choice consideration.
