Acer Predator Triton 700

   The Acer  Predator Triton 700 - the powerful laptop that enhances your gaming performance. Equipped with 7th Gen Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 graphics processor, gaming and multitasking is as smooth as silk. It is designed those who need for speed.

  The keyboard-forward design of the Predator Triton 700 is an instant eye-catcher. We didn't realize where the touch pad was at first, but it's actually embedded in the clear piece of glass above the keyboard. We can see one of the system's cooling fans through the left side of the glass, softly backlit by an LED. Size-wise, the 15.5x10.5-inch exterior of the Triton 700 is on par with that of a typical 15.6-inch notebook. The number pad is a luxury with compromises on this notebook.

   

   The keyboard on the Triton 700 is particularly extravagant. It has mechanical switches, a surprise given its slim design. The Acer Predator Sense software allows full control over the keyboard back-light settings. It has pattern presets for breathing, wave, raindrop, ripple, and other types of effects, or you can design your own lighting. The Triton 700 comes with one choice of display, a 1080p panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. The 1080p panel and high refresh rate here is an ideal combo for the smoothest possible gaming experience.

    The colors and contrast on this display looked just fine to our eyes. The luminance was also adequate, although it wasn't bright to the point where we felt we needed to turn it down in a dark environment. The Triton 700 has a 720p/30fps Webcam on top of the display.

There are a total of three Type -A USB ports along the left edge. The two visible ones with the blue inserts are version 3.0, while a version 2.0 port strangely resides behind the rectangular cutout. The power button is oddly located on the right edge of the chassis, roughly aligned with the second row of keyboard keys. Acer managed to fit some additional ports along the back, too. There have full-size Display Port and HDMI video-out connectors and the AC power jack. It's possible to upgrade the memory and storage in the Triton 700. The Acer’s main advantage is its excellent per-key RGB backlit keyboard. The mechanical switches are a delight to type on, and we enjoyed the luxury of a full-size number pad.
