Back at IFA 2019 in September, Acer grabbed the headlines with the new Predator Triton 500, a new gaming laptop with an actually absurd 300 Hz display. Regardless of your feelings on a display that fast , it grabbed attention. But fortunately, it's not the only good thing Acer has going on here.

amazing product and free haribos!

I tried Asus ROG, Dell gaming laptops but this one surpasses every models I tried and even more the ones I didn't try. I got this device for a little cheaper somewhere else, but specs are awesome. I just wanted to give a 5 star review!!!

The Acer Predator Triton 500 is probably the first gaming laptop I've tested where I've almost completely forgotten it's a gaming laptop. Sure, the keyboard's RGB backlight is a bit of a giveaway, as is the blue LED Predator logo on the back of the display, but this is by far one of the quietest...

I was looking for a gaming laptop that offered portability too, most gaming laptops are bulky or heavy, sometimes both. this one is just under 5 pounds and oh boy is this laptop a powerhouse, it does everything i throw at it.

The Predator Triton 500 isn't without fault, but it's one of the better - and more affordable - RTX-powered gaming laptops we've tried.

Relatively affordable; Great performance; Subtle design

God-awful boot-up sound; Flimsy screen; Poor battery life and high temperatures

All-in-all, it's hard to pick too many faults with the Triton 500. It's a surprisingly good gaming machine with some really neat features, good quality speakers and some serious gaming power under the hood.

No compromise design that includes Ethernet and multiple USB ports; Turbo button for easy overclocking; Interesting audio solution; Comfortable-to-use membrane keyboard; Superb 144Hz screen

Middling battery life; Frustrating media key layout; Small capacity SSD fills up quickly; Chassis is a bit of a fingerprint magnet

When you look at performance and price, the Triton 500 is one of the best RTX laptops I've tested so far. At $2,499 with an RTX 2080 GPU, it's certainly priced right. If you want a laptop with strong battery life and a top of the line GPU at a reasonable price, the Triton 500 is a superb option.

If you're looking for a portable gaming laptop that doesn't pull any punches, the Acer Predator Triton 500 can keep up with the best of them. There are a couple of design flaws that hold it back from the upper end of the pantheon of gaming laptops, but it's still worth your cash.

Extremely powerful; Solid RGB; Beautiful display; Surprisingly long battery life

Kind of expensive; Flimsy lid; Awkward keyboard layout

This article is a detailed review of the Acer Predator Triton 500 PT515-51, in the top-specked configuration with a Core i7-8750H processor, Nvidia RTX 2080 Max-Q graphics , 32 GB of RAM and two SSDs in Raid0.

compact and light for its class; fast and quiet keyboard; full set of ports; except for a card-reader; gets one of the best 144 Hz screens on the market; with GSync; excellent performance once tweaked; especially in demanding loads and games; expect good battery life if you switch GSync OFF,...

some flex in the lid and main-chassis; keyboard lacks advanced functions like per-key illumination and others; runs hot and noisy with games; difficult to upgrade and maintain
