Acer is one of those laptop makers that frequently tries too hard to stand out. Consider the Predator Triton 900, a wild machine with a 360-degree swiveling screen that I found to be mostly useless. Earlier this month, Acer also announced plans to bring its SpatiaLabs glasses-free 3D technology to gaming laptops. Ambitious swings are nice and all, but these days I'm more interested in notebooks that are subtle about their gaming prowess. And after testing out the Predator Triton 500 SE for the past week, I've learned that…

Occasionally, as a doctor, I am asked to see a patient in the emergency department who is completely mute. They sit motionless, staring around the room. I lift up their arm and it stays in that position. Someone takes a blood test and they don't even wince. They haven't eaten or drunk anything for a day or two.  Questions start running through your mind. What's wrong with them? Would they respond to someone else? Do they have a brain injury? Are they putting it on? And – hardest of all – how am I to know what's going on…

Acer’s Predator Triton 300 SE represents its lineup of mid-range gaming laptops with a focus on slim and portable gaming PCs. The current 14-inch model has been updated with Intel 12th-gen CPUs, Nvidia GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs, and a 3K OLED panel that will show up in some (as yet undetermined) regions. More notably, Acer has added a brand-new 16-inch model to the lineup, and they sent me a pre-production version to look at. Note that it’s not a replacement for the current 16-inch Predator Triton 500 SE, even…

Acer has debuted another round of new gaming laptops for 2022. This time, it’s focused on more unique entries, having gotten most of its yearly refreshes out of the way a couple of months ago. Its 15.6-inch Predator Helios 300 is getting the SpatialLabs treatment with a display that supports glasses-free, stereoscopic 3D content that includes “over 50 popular games at launch,” with a commitment to add support for new games moving forward. The description for the built-in camera on this Helios 300 is wild. Acer says…

Prey teaser and release date are out.

Select regions outside the US are expected to be able to watch it on Disney+. In the Prey teaser, we see a woman running for her life. While the video doesn't spell out what the danger is,…
