<p>With this year&#8217;s Consumer Electronics Show getting underway, Acer has made a number of announcements, including one regarding its previously announced Predator 21 X gaming laptop. You can probably safely assume right now that you won&#8217;t be getting one anytime soon.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Launching in North America next month, the Predator 21 X costs $8,999. Or, more precisely, prices start at $8,999 and go up from there, depending upon the particular options. In EMEA regions, prices start at 9,999 Euros.</p>

<p dir="ltr">As you&#8217;d expect, the Predator 21 X boasts some high-end hardware: It comes with an i7-7820HK processor and two GTX 1080 cards running with SLI. Going along with that, it has 64 GB of DDR-2400 memory, a 1 TB 7200 RPM hard drive, and as many as four 512 GB solid state drives. This thing is appropriately massive, with a full-sized Cherry MX Brown mechanical keyboard, four speakers, and two subwoofers.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Acer also says it&#8217;s the first laptop with a curved screen, as well as eye-tracking tech for use in games like <a href="http://ift.tt/1PCEoGN">Watch Dogs 2</a> and <a href="http://ift.tt/1DMeava">Deus Ex: Mankind Divided</a>. However, while the 21-inch, G-Sync-capable screen features a 120 Hz IPS panel, it&#8217;s limited to a 2560 x 1080 resolution.</p>
<p>Acer also announced an updated version of its Predator 17 X laptop, which is itself pricey (starting at $2,599), but not nearly to the degree the 21 X is. That device can now come with an i7-7820HK and a single GTX 1080. You can read more about the possible configurations <a href="http://ift.tt/2i7xRoN">here</a>.</p>
