Reviews for the Acer Predator Triton 900 PT917-71-969C

80% Acer Predator Triton 900 Review
Source: Trusted Reviews Archive.org version
An extravagant gaming powerhouse with an incredibly cool flip-out 4K display helps the Acer Predator Triton 900 stand out from the ever-growing "gaming desktop replacement" crowd. A super-high price and a refresh rate limited to 60Hz ensure it's a niche device though, with most better off buying a more portable gaming laptop or fully fledged gaming desktop PC.
