AOA. I recently purchased Acer Predator 17 laptop from Dubai. This thing is a beauty to behold. I don't feel like I am worthy enough to use this beast. :laugh1::laugh1: I might end up selling it
Following are the specs. Sorry for the crappy images. Doesn't do justice to this laptop at all. Enjoy.
So I finally managed to test the laptop. I would share my pros and cons along with gaming tests.
Pros:
Cons:
Well honestly its not a con but i have to mention. The battery life is 3 hours or may be a little more under normal usage. I don't blame it because at such specs no one can expect a 5-6 hours battery life. Even lower spec laptops hardly manage 4 hours so i would say its good but not the best of them.
Some game tests
Dying Light 2016. Max setting 3840x2160 4K resolution . The average fps is 45-60FPS.
Mafia 3. 2560x1440p maxed out settings No AA. 40-50FPS. It is a poorly optimized game but the lowest fps i saw was 35FPS.
Following are the specs. Sorry for the crappy images. Doesn't do justice to this laptop at all. Enjoy.

So I finally managed to test the laptop. I would share my pros and cons along with gaming tests.
Pros:
- Really amazed with the performance of this laptop. Puts my Core i7 4770K and GTX 1060 setup to shame
- Being able to run games at 1440p and 4k maxed out is really a treat to witness
- The 4k Gync panel is a visual treat for the eyes. I tried Trolls animated movie 8GB HD RIP and my jaw dropped literally at several scenes in the movie.
- The speakers. Oh! from where should i start. The 4 speakers are the best speakers that i have ever tested on a laptop. The sound quality, surround sound and the amount of bass is really commendable for a laptop.
- I used it test a few games in an AC room. Never heard the fans spin at all. At first I thought there is something wrong with the fans but i realized they are spinning actually quite slow.
Cons:
