On a computer it is usually for the desktop, while on a mobile phone it is usually the background for the 'home' or 'idle' screen. That said the curved screen does not sound like anything I would want so probably not.A wallpaper or background (also known as a desktop wallpaper, desktop background, desktop picture or desktop image on computers) is a digital image (photo, drawing etc.) used as a decorative background of a graphical user interface on the screen of a computer, mobile communications device or other electronic device. I am ok lugging around a 17" heavy laptop (Dell M6800 currently, Thinkpad w700 previously) but that might be too much for even me on a regular basis.

I am also not sure on how portable that thing would be for me. That said I have stuck around the $1250-$1750 range because that is where I have been for cash. The reason is that I am a strong believer in having one computer so that I don't go to do something just to find out that it is on my desktop when I am on my laptop or visa-versa. If I actually had the cash to spare I might.

If you have 3000+ to spend on a PC you can easily build 2 beastly desktops, buy a laptop for browsing/movies AND still have to spare.ĭoes anyone really move ALL the time while being a hardcore gamer needing 2 GPUs and GSync ready screen?Īs GreyAreaUk said, this really looks a "because we can" thing and not an actual useful thing. I really don't get people who drop this kinda cash on a mobile device.ĭon't mean to be a hater or anything but come on, it's a LAPTOP. I'm guessing there's a reason that none of the press photos show this thing with the lid completely closed. They're almost always set up slanted inward slightly. No one I know has a two or three monitor setup that's perfectly "flat" and straight across. It's like having a two or three screen setup. I agree for TVs that are placed across the room from you it's a stupid feature but when you're two feet away it makes a small but noticeable difference. Spoken like someone who has never sat in front of a 34" 21:9 curved monitor. After all,m who needs a portable device to actually close flush? I bet this thing is all kinds of fun to close, too. Unless you're using a giant projection screen and need to keep contrast even from center to edge, or less than 12" back from an extremely wide display (or multi-monitor setup). It's totally pointless on a laptop with a screen this size. A curved screen is already a waste on an 80" HDTV. AdvertisementĬhrist, I just wish the curved screen fad would die already. Update: Acer told Ars that the Predator 21X will weigh 8kg (17.6lbs)-just under half the weight of Elvis, the world's heaviest domestic cat. Really, the whole thing is a bit of a beast. The numpad (which isn't mechanical) can apparently be flipped over to become a touchpad. The Predator 21X also has Tobii eye-tracking hardware, 4.2 audio (what's the only thing better than one subwoofer?), and a full-size illuminated Cherry MX mechanical keyboard.
Intel isn't planning to release its quad-core Kaby Lake parts until the first quarter of 2017-which incidentally is when the Acer Predator 21X is meant to go on sale. Given the laptop's desktop-replacement aspirations we are probably looking at some kind of quad-core 45W TDP chip, rather than one of the dual-core low-power parts unveiled by Intel this week. The screen is G-Sync enabled, too.ĬPU-wise, the laptop has a new 7th-gen Kaby Lake Intel Core processor, but we don't know exactly which model. The curved screen, which has a resolution of 2560×1080, is powered by two of Nvidia's latest mobile GTX 1080 graphics cards. The new Predator 21X laptop sits at the very top of Acer's gaming laptop range.
Acer says it's the world's first laptop with a curved screen. Acer has unveiled some new laptops at IFA in Germany, including the utterly monstrous curved-display 21-inch Predator 21X.
