Acer Predator Triton 500 Price and Configurations
The $1,649 base model of the Predator Triton 500 offers a 2.2-GHz Intel Core i7-8750H CPU, 16GB of RAM, a 512 NVMe PCIe SSD and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 GPU with 6GB of VRAM.
Design
I don't know if it's the glowing Transformers-Esque Acer Predator logo in the centre of the black aluminium lid or the Triton's overall slim frame, but I had the distinct feeling that the laptop was going to transmogrify at any minute. The Triton's all-aluminium chassis alone doesn't make much of an impression, but it's the little things - like the turquoise-lined vents and ports - that makes you appreciate this rig. I would advise that you keep a cleaning cloth handy, as the onyx metal is a fingerprint magnet.
Ports
Slim but packed, the Triton 500 - with its plethora of ports - is just waiting to be transformed into a mobile battle station. On the right, you have a couple of USB 3.1 ports, a Thunderbolt 3 port, a Mini DisplayPort 1.4 and a Kensington lock.
That's enough to hook up a few monitors and a mouse or two, but you have another USB 3.1 port on the left alongside an HDMI 2.0 port, Ethernet and jacks for a headphone, microphone and power.
Display
The Triton 500's 15.6-inch screen offers a fairly rich colour that's held back by a rather dim display. I saw various-sized globules of crimson red blood spurt out of a man's chest as he was propelled backwards through a window during the "Shaft" trailer. Details were so clear that I could see the glass as it splintered into shards.
Audio
Positioned on the bottom front lip of the laptop, the Triton 500's speakers are small but loud. Combined with the preinstalled Waves MaxxAudio and Acer TrueHarmony software, the notebook managed to fill our lab with loud, albeit somewhat crowded, audio.
Keyboard and Touchpad
It's not a mechanical keyboard, but the Triton's keys felt great when I typed. The deep, 1.7-millimetre key travel (1.5 mm is minimum) combined with the 70 grams of actuation (60 g minimum) felt like bouncing on a set of firm, rebounding mattresses. The 4.1 x 2.5-inch touchpad offers swift, smooth, multi-gesture action including pinch-zoom, three-finger tap, and four-finger swipe.
PredatorSense
Out of the box, the Triton 500's default keyboard colour is teal, but with Acer's PredatorSense software, you can spice things up. In the lighting selections, you can switch up the key colour with one of the nine basic colours, or get more exotic with the other 16.8 million hues that are available. You also have nine effects to play around with, including Breathing, Zoom, Meteor and Twinkling.
Gaming, Graphics and VR
Acer's the latest PC maker to join the RTX bandwagon. The company has outfitted the Triton 500, a pretty slim laptop, with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q GPU with 8GB of VRAM, one of the most powerful graphics-processing units available to a mobile system. In addition to high frame rates, the powerful new RTX cards have Nvidia's new Ray Tracing and DLSS technologies, which mimic how light behaves in real life, making for realistic reflections and prettier graphics overall.
Performance
The Triton 500 is also a force to be reckoned with on the multimedia front, thanks to its 2.2-GHz Intel Core i7-8750H processor with 32GB of RAM. The notebook chewed through 35 tabs of Google Chrome, some of which were running Twitch streams, Tweetdeck and YouTube videos
When we ran the Geekbench 4.1 overall performance test, the laptop notched 21,290, which is just short of the premium gaming laptop average. Armed with their own 8750H CPUs, the Blade and the Stealth reached 20,437 and 20,843, respectively.
Battery Life
Gaming laptops aren't known for their battery endurance, and the Triton 500 won't help change that image. The laptop lasted only 3 hours and 4 minutes on the Laptop Mag Battery Test, which involves Wi-Fi web surfing at 150 nits of screen brightness. That runtime is below the 3 hours, 20-minute premium gaming laptop average -- but not by much.
Heat
In an attempt to keep the Triton 500's components from overheating, Acer utilizes a three-fan system coupled with five heat pipes. The fans employ the company's 4th generation AeroBlade system, which Acer claims increases airflow by 45 per cent. However, despite all of Acer's work, they're still fighting against a fundamental problem
