Acer sent us one of its limited edition Predator 21 X laptops, which afforded us the opportunity to go hands-on with it via an unboxing.

At $9,000 in a limited run, it’s obvious that most people will never own the Predator 21 X. That said, it’s a very interesting machine that shows what’s possible when a company like Acer strives to push the limits of what a laptop can be. The Predator 21 X is so ridiculously over the top that you can’t help but to be impressed by the gaudiness of it all.
We’ll be back soon with a deeper look into some of the key features that make this machine so special. In the meantime, tell us, would you like to see more PC manufacturers push the boundaries like Acer has with the Predator 21 X?
