Acer Predator unveils two new gaming notebooks – the Predator Triton 900 with a 17-inch flippable 4K display and Predator Triton 500 – a 15-inch all-metal thin and light gaming powerhouse.
Acer Predator Triton 900
The Predator Triton 900, unlike any clam-shell laptop in the market right now, features a display that flips. The Ezel Aero Hinge allows user to switch between for usage modes: Display mode for sharing the screen with friends during gaming sessions, Ezel mode for playing games on the touch screen, notebook mode for traditional gaming scenarios, and stand mode – effectively turning the Triton 900 into a tablet for gaming or using creator tools.

The Predator Triton 500, on the other hand, is a thin and light gaming laptop, weighing at just 2.1KG and 17.9mm thick. The all-metal chassis gives the laptop the durability it required after shaving off all the unwanted bezels, making this an extremely portable gaming powerhouse.
