Think Apple's new MacBook is expensive? It's got nothing on the latest laptop from Acer.
At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the computer maker unveiled the Predator 21 X, which its makers say is the first notebook computer with a curved screen. But forget about the features: the real jaw dropper here is its price: $8,999.
What does $9,000 get you? That curved screen is a 21-inch display with a 2560 x 1080 resolution, top-of-the-line Intel Core processors and a Nvidia GeForce GTX graphics processing unit. It also boasts five system fans to prevent overheating, 64 GB of DDR4-2400 memory and up to four 512 GB solid state drives. Basically, it's the laptop equivalent of owning a Ferrari.
Perhaps the most interesting feature on the Predator is eye-tracking technology through a partnership with company Tobii. Players can use the tech in games, identifying enemies or aiming by just looking at a spot on the screen. Acer says 45 games will support eye tracking.
