The Acer Predator 21 X is the biggest, fastest, most expensive gaming laptop ever made. It’s great at playing games, but the huge size, tiny battery life, massive $9,000 price tag make it an incredibly impractical purchase reserved only for the truly rich.

"the keyboard is loud"... dude it's a mechanical keyboard... it's part of the cool factor about them
Not really. Mechanical keyboards aren't good _because_ they're loud. They're good because they're incredibly good at what they're for. I'd hate to be your neighbours/housemates/roommates if you deliberately keep your keyboard deafeningly loud.
I've tried some keyboards with blue switches before, and I can't stand the loud clicky noise they make - I'll stick with my browns, thanks. And yes, I know it's a feature of the blues to make an audible click.
i prefer blue switches, the clicks it makes it's just great, you know?
The Cherry MX Browns aren't suppose to be lou.
It's great but can it RUN M I N E C R A F T

Its actually having a huge peoblem with the fps. Fridges have so much problems that toasters are highly demanded, wich ask help to ovens. It still doesnt do alot of fps, but thats my normal quality. Minecraft is totally fhe bwat game to play on thia laptop
I dare you to go to starbucks with this please

Oh.. you mean with all the coffee around someone might slip and spill the coffee on the $9000 laptop? Sure.. he can.. but with a gun.

To be fair it does actually weigh the same as 6.29 13" 2017 MacBook Pros.
In fact I want a MBPR 13 with 4C8T i7 and same size with old MBP13
They weigh about the same, but yeah.
I feel so lucky when I even get to touch one of this. It was so satisfying and trust me this laptop is quite heavy and such a beast.
"incredibly intensive battlefield 1" *runs on an old r9 270 for $30*
Even ran on my Office Laptop with an Gtx 920m
I'm pretty sure he's not talking about running it 1280 x 720 at all graphics settings turned to low or normal. That thing can run the game on Ultra.
Did he say 64 GB of ram? WTF
I didnt check the specs specifically but if its correct its a great thing. Games like gta 5 are ram whores so keeping the usage below 25% is a great thing. I keep below 50% with 32 gb.
"you can save every thing with out hard drive dude"
Dude so many people use that much for graphic designing. No offense but you probably don't know anything about PC specs other than Ram and SSD. If anything you should be remotely surprised of is the 2 1080 ti which really aren't that uncommon.
ivan ridwan No you can't
People even use 128 GB ram
I think your coworkers deserve best supporting actor nominations. Great writing, direction, and acting in this video. I laughed out loud. :)
A very realistic and practical review. Good job.
Did you need to flex 6 macbook pros? Lol
Thinkca so ruude
Its a company lol like buzzfeed i dont think he owns all 6 of them lol
right!?
Really good well made video - good mix of info and humour. That official carry case is ridiculous!
I could actually see this being * marginally * useful in certain professional settings where you have to go out into the field, do heavy, heavy computation or fast work, and power isn't an issue, but number of pieces is. Perhaps in an events/concert kind of setting, on site video editing, or scientific field analysis... maybe.
I Wonder What Will Be The Electricity Bill After Using It
All the 9year olds be like: Yass I can run 9 instances of minecraft at once
Such a great video, really appreciate the thoughts and efforts put into this video!
This guy is incredibly good at overstating the obvious but somehow manages to speak like what he's saying is going to be a huge surprise
Man hopefully when i start working i can continue my gameing experience and buy this angel of a laptop
But the question still remains same *CaN* *iT* *rUN* *cRysiS* *?*
if you pretend to know something about PC gaming then at least know something "battlefield 1 is graphically demanding""the keyboard is loud"
This Acer achieves 400+ FPS on Battlefield 1. Demanding my ass. It's one of the most optimized games ever made for Windows.
Battlefield 1 is a miracle in terms of optimization. The Verge is clueless
BF1 is really well optimized. About the keyboard, this guy probably doesn't even know it mechanical & that's why its loud. The verge reviews a purely 'balls to the wall' GAMING laptop & complains its bad at doing normal tasks at a coffee shop.
plZ HelP he literally said it's a mechanical keyboard in the video.
then i guess he doesn't know how they operate, they' are designed to be tactile(perfect for gaming). To which this laptop is designed for. Why complain
Why review this as a work laptop?
since there are already hundreds of other reviews on gaming.
Why not?
Thanks man.. I really enjoyed the review. But one question tho.. Can it run crysis?
To be honest, yes, I know that people are gonna say “get a desktop, it’s cheaper and better”, I will make an exception for this Predator, because it’s not considered portable for the $9000 price tag and it’s not like any other gaming laptop. The same goes to other ridiculous engineered laptops like the liquid cooled ASUS Laptop. If you’re smart you can kind of build a smart tiny lan box.
The gaming PC you can make with $9000
IceeArts too right, if you had that kinda money build your own pc
And you can carry that pc everywhere ? Lmao
Sun Of A Beach for 9000 dollars I'd make it a laptop somehow
But it ain't portable

Just unboxed my 21X yesterday..still blown away now!!
danggg
so, 5 years later, how was it? lmao
U guys are the last to review this laptop
Cuz they shouldn't really be reviewing on something they aren't familiar with.
What was so bad about it?
They had to test it to make sure that it is impractical before telling us..
No they are not last unbox therapy is last
Someone make a reaction of the public to this. Please.

Weird flex but ok
The completely miss the point that the is a desktop replacement for people that game and move places a lot. It is meant to stay on your desk and only be moved from time to time, to another DESK. Not a laptop to carry around with you. And the fact that you complaining about a loud keyboard and have used Bf 1 a game to test the laptops gaming performance just shows that you should go sit behind your Macbook and stop writing reviews on products you know nothing about.
This whole review was grading a gaming laptop based on the ergonomics of an everyday laptop, you literally spent the whole video comparing it to something you would take to Starbucks, you completely missed the point. Review the laptop for what it is, not for what you are used to.
It's a laptop, therefore it should be able to function _as a laptop._ He's reviewing this based on that, and it fails spectacularly because of how ridicules it is. They're not saying it's a bad computer, they're saying it's a bad _laptop._
Alexander Edward I get your point but this is a different kind of laptop that was designed only to be "transportable". It was designed to be the most powerful possible and that's what it should be reviewed by. Can 9,000$ get you a better performing gaming laptop ? That should of been the subject of the video. In my opinion 😉
yes you raise good points but here is a nicer picture to think about: I wouldn't review a Ferrari and say its horrible at picking up groceries, I wouldn't spend the whole video saying how horrible it was at passenger space, and how I couldn't fit my airport luggage, I wouldn't complain the whole video on how my ferrari was horrible on gas and how bad it was at running small errands. No, id make a review talking about how my Ferrari is a great race car and compare it among other race cars. Id make a review bragging about how good my ferrari is in tight turns and curves, Id make a review about how well my ferrari can go 0-60 on a track.... you see?
Michaelc136 well put ! in fact it made me laugh when he did the Lamborghini analogy... I was thinking 'ok you get the point then, why are you still complaining?'. I think the answer may be within the verge's editorial line...
Michaelc136 I totally agree with what you're saying, but I found the Verge's review to be unique and funny and not really meant to be taken all that seriously. Yeah, no one is really supposed to use this the same as a regular laptop, but it was funny seeing him lug that thing around outside and sit that gigantuous thing on his lap. And he got A LOT of stares in public.
Who's ready for the workstation version? Dual Quadro P6000s in SLI (yes SLI for Quadro cards does exist) and a power efficient Xeon W-series to boot. This would be a monster in general. Anything you could throw at it, it does it.

Why does it matter though? The laptop is huge and bulky and for that money, you can buy an upgradable desktop with a kick ass monitor. Forget about being able to carry your gaming station with you. You play games at home. End of story. It has an actual case, you look like Hitman wearing that stuff around. lol

But now we have GTX Titan V that is estimated by me, 110% faster than the 1080ti
Championship Zed but bro it has many graphic cards
I think 1080ti is more than sufficient for gaming and defintely TITAN V is a waste of money
1080ti is 700maybe? And titan v is 3000
Titan v is not for gaming purpose. It can be used but 1080ti or Titan x/xp will give better performance in gaming then v. V is mainly used for deep learning and AI stuff.
NeverTrust nope Titan v is not a mining card just Google it
Only the charger are like a laptop but despite all ... I fallen in love for it

Was the part where he said "The incredibly graphically demanding Battlefield 1" supposed to be a joke.

+uwot Matte try crysis 3 or witcher 3, those are wayyy more demanding

Does is it have paint software??
Is a desktop for gaming with 8GB, 256 GB SSD, Intel i5 core generation 7 with 3,7 GHz run Overwatch on Max?
It seems like something an esport pro would use if they had to go somewhere for an event and didnt wanna use the lans pc.
This guy clearly is a mac user and has no clue what this beast is for 😂
For the price of this "beast" you could buy a desktop with better specs and a normal productivity laptop
ChubbyBu yes but the specs are mind blowing for a laptop. And the keyboard, screen and speakers. Sadly I don't think aced are selling this anymore
8 GB of Ram i7 1080ti will be enough to a play a game
LOl, you could probably build a beast of a desktop and a relatively powerful thin and light single dGPU gaming laptop for that price.
Scorpion Shield dude you cant run a gpu if its vram is much bigger than your ram for example 8gb and 1080ti has a vram of 8gb so you cant run a computer if it has 8gb in it
Do you guys have a cumputer for it cus that shits lit
I really hope that acer eventually makes a threadripper/i9 variant

Hey, i could use one, it may not last one, but it works
I need you guys to help me with this, Should I buy it or is it not worth it at all for the price?
SO many people are missing the point with this laptop. It's mostly for people who travel a lot and still want to game or need this kind of processing power. While you can use it with it's batter, it's really meant to be used in hotels and such when you're traveling.
Sevendogtags How can you travel with 19pounds of that? And it’s way more practical for someone who is travelling to carry a WAYYYY weaker laptop. Something that costs closer to $900 than $9000. You ain’t gonna have much time to play on it especially if you travel a lot besides hotels.
I'm sorry, but when I'm travelling, I'm not wasting my life sitting in a hotel room gaming. I'm out and about taking in the sights and food/culture.
I'd probably get a much much powerful desktop with a larger monitor and which is upgradeable at half the price.....
Cyrus Loves India some people just prefer laptops. Stick with your opinion dude....

@@fl6yy He isn't subscribed to T-Series, my god.
AFreakingCookie when it comes to gaming laptops it’s not about it being a laptop, it’s about being able to have it with you when you have to stay at different city or country for a long amount of time. It will stand at your desk for 4 weeks or 4 months and not move an inch until you pack it, take you 7 hour flight and set it down again in another country or just city for another 2 weeks or months.
