New goodies for the company’s Predator notebook line

Acer didn’t just release a ridiculously expensive gaming chair during this year’s IFA – the Taiwanese company also announced a brand-new, thin-and-light gaming notebook, the Triton 300. The new gaming notebook tips the scales at just 5 pounds (or 2.2 kilos for the rest of the world) which isn’t too bad considering this is a machine that’s powerful enough to play most modern games today.

Making that happen is a 9th Gen Intel Core i7 processor, an NVIDIA GTX 1650 GPU along with up to 32GB of RAM and up to two 1TB, SSDs configured in a raid array. The Triton 300 sports a 15.6-inch full HD panel with a 144Hz refresh rate and a 3ms response time, which makes it the perfect notebook for eSports enthusiasts and hardcore PC gamers alike.

Speaking of hardcore, Acer is giving its Predator Triton 500 gaming notebook a 300Hz display to better take advantage of its top-tier innards. It’s not surprising that Acer opted to give their top-tier gaming notebook a spec bump – the Triton 500’s 9th Gen Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA RTX 2080 Max-Q GPU can crank up frame rates to take advantage of that 300Hz display, though you’ll be paying a premium for the privilege.
