There are three things you should immediately know about Acer's Predator 21 X laptop. First, it's hands-down the fastest laptop we've ever seen. Period.

Second, it's the widest laptop we've ever seen: 22.4 inches wide, 12.4 inches deep, and 2.71 inches to 3.28 inches high, front to back.

And third: It's the most expensive laptop we've seen in a long time. Sure, at $9,000, you'd think it would be the priciest ever in PCWorld history, but a 1990-era 286 laptop that cost $6,000 adjusted for inflation would be $11,367 today. So, the Predator 21 X is almost a deal, right?

But seriously, Acer's Predator 21 X isn't meant to be a mainstream product. Hell, it's not even meant to be a high-end product. It's the very definition of a showcase, low-volume, high-profile "halo" product, intended to show that Acer can produce the biggest, baddest laptop on the planet. And Acer's done just that.

LOL laptops....

LOL riiiihgt. If I'm gonna spend that kind of money, then I'll just go buy myself a Titan V since it's only $3,000 anyways for the ultimate performance.

honestly with the advent of good tablets I don't see much point these days; maybe if you travel a lot and want a dedicated gaming system that's more than a mobile phone?

I'll take my big stationary desktop, though.

nothing wrong with gaming laptops. i have one in my living room so i can game and watch tv. sure i have to keep turning up the tv volume to drown out the fan getting louder and louder. but the heat it generates warms my front room so need for the heating to be on. it's the gift that keeps on giving

would be nice if it was as easy to build a laptop at home as it is a desktop. I might consider it, then.

$9K and you can't even watch or burn blurays natively on it. Such a disappointment.
