![]() ![]() The most impressive of the three dimensions for me, however, is the Triton’s mere 0.86-inch thickness. ![]() The Razer Blade 18 and Asus Strix Scar 18, being both 18-inch laptops, are understandably bigger and even more unwieldy – yes that’s where the 17X shines – it’s big, but not too big. It measures 14.97 x 11.0 x 0.86 inches, which makes it surprisingly more compact and a whole lot easier to pick up than its main rival the MSI Titan GT77 HX 13V. ![]() It’s still undoubtedly a desktop replacement, but it’s one of the more compact and maneuverable ones I’ve used this year. The laptop’s sheer size doesn’t retract from that practicality either. “With frame rates reaching in excess of 200 FPS (frames per second) in RoTTR, the Triton 17X is the second fastest laptop in our PCWorld charts to date… I found the centralized trackpad immeasurably easier than previous iterations for gaming too, there being less of that hand/brain confusion I sometimes get when trackpads are moved too far to the left. The large rectangular display with ultra-thin bezels provides so much space for viewing. Yet it’s hard to resist the blatant unadulterated utility of this new model. You’d be really hard pressed getting any flex from the lid either. The metal is obvious in the build, and it feels exceptionally tough around the base – you can mash all day on it and treat it harshly and it will be completely unchanged. The fun revolves around the Triton’s huge slab-like chassis which is CNC-milled from a single block of aluminum. If laptops were tanks, the Acer’s Predator Triton 17X would be right up there with the biggest, toughest and meanest you could find – it’s an impressively large laptop but that makes it fun to use.
