The Acer Predator 17 X gaming laptop just got even faster

Kaby Lake and a GTX 1080 make the Predator 17 X a gaming laptop with the power of a high-end desktop.

Acer's Predator line is getting an update for CES 2017. The Predator 17 X is getting the latest in the most powerful processors and graphics cards, while a trio of new mid-range monitors targeted at gamers.

If the enormous and enormously expensive Acer Predator 21 X isn't your cup of tea, maybe the not-quite-as-insane-but-still-impressive — and just updated — Predator 17 X will better suit your needs. It's still practically a desktop-class gaming rig, but in a laptop's body.

New is a bump in the CPU and GPU departments. Now there's an overclockable 7th-generation Kaby Lake Intel Core i7-7820HK processor that can be boosted all the way to 4.3Ghz on its four cores and a top-end NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 GPU with 8GB of video memory. RAM runs up to 64GB DDR4-2400, and you'll have the option of either "an enterprise level NVMe PCIe solid state drive" or a trio of SATA SSDs in a RAID 0 configuration — and you thought it was fast before.
