Today, Acer has unveiled an all-new gaming notebook which features a curved display, which is the first of its kind to hit the market. These displays also support Nvidia’s G-Sync technology, which controls the display’s refresh rate to provide a smoother gaming experience with fewer visual glitches such as ghosting or tearing. Acer Swift 7 is not just the world’s thinnest notebook but also the first to feature Intel’s 7th gen Core processor. The Predator 21 X is going to be a “made to order” beast of a machine that’s more proof of engineering concept than mainstream product.

Rounding up the feature list of this insane machine is the fully customizable backlight Cherry MX mechanical keyboard.
Every laptop manufacturer out there is now attempting to claim the world’s thinnest laptop title whether it’s Asus’ 11.9mm thin Zenbook 3 or Apple’s bareboned MacBook or HP’s Spectre 13.
Other than the curved display, the Acer Predator 21 X laptop comes with a lot of impressive specs and features which is sure to attract game lovers. It also supports Acer Active Pen so you can use the new Microsoft Ink Workspace that rolled out with the Windows 10 Anniversary Update. In terms of specifications, Acer Predator 21 X features a massive 21-inch curved display of 2560×1080 pixel resolution, which is also one of its key highlights. It sports an unnamed 7th generation Core i7 processor, which is paired with up to 64GB of DDR4-2400 memory and not one, but TWO GeForce GTX 1080 GPUs in SLI, both with 8GB of GDDR5X of onboard memory. On paper, it is rated for a 9-hour battery life.

When it comes to the Spin range, the Spin 7 will be available in North America and Europe in October with prices starting at $1,199 and €1,299 (about £1,105 ) respectively. Instead, Acer has chose to slot in two GeForce GTX 1080 graphics cards in the machine, for “unmatched” visual performance, the company claims.
