This Laptop, what would you use it for?
Comments
For me personally, it has no active stylus and isn't convertible to tablet,
is too heavy,
has embarrassing old-fashioned style keyboard keys(switch buttons are a superstitious placebo anyways.),
is too thick,
probably has terrible battery life considering what it's designed for,
and personally again: soooo ugly... !
I like my half-pound ultrathin laptop tablet convertible just fine ^_^ It maxes out crysis with ce5 textures and tons of extra framerate at max res.
Maybe if I was issued one on a job, I'd probably hide it in a closet and use it as a headless server.... because dang. I wouldn't be caught dead with that thing out in public xD

What would you do with THIS laptop?
I don't like too much anti-aliasing in games.
I remember many years ago(talking something like 15) they had some of the WORST computers on the market, and got in trouble for buying seconds, and selling them at a premium. They were probably worst then e-machines at one point.
Can't say how they are now as I haven't hear a thing about them in almost 13 years, and honestly thought they went under.
As for using that laptop for mabinogi... honestly its performance prolly would be mediocre as mabi don't work that well with modern CPU's, and GPUs as its gfx engine is ancient, and doesn't support many newer features added to CPU's in the past 10 years(like multi threading, multi CPU's, GPU offloading etc)...
Side note according to its specs it should run any modern game at ultra high settings with no issues.
only take it with me to the bathroom and take my sweet time there
objectively the only way to use this thing
the screen is clearly poop so it doesnt make sense to throw 2 1080s there, who was the genius that built this? SMH
alternatively this:
"VR is a good idea"
Honestly, I just prefer having a portable and then using Nvidia's game streaming. I have decent enough internet at home, and unlimited 4G on my phone. The latency between my phone and home ranges a little, but it is good enough to be playable, surprisingly more so that I would have suspected. I wouldn't suggest trying it for anything fast paced like a racing game. But for things like Mabi, or even Borderlands 2 it works great.
But I understand that not everyone is like me. The Predator 21x is really aimed at someone that travels often, and wants to enjoy the best possible gaming experience on the go. There is no compromises made with the 21x. It has a very limited market, which they knew when they designed it, which is why it has a high price tag and a small production run.
Speaking to ACERs quality, while they did have a bottom of the list name for laptops and desktops entering the 2000s, they fairly quickly regained a standing as a mediocre brand, until 2011 when they got their new CEO that came in with the mission statement of "We're done making terrible products". I don't know that I would own an Acer computer, but I do know they have a pretty good monitor lineup now. MX Cherry switches are life. I type slower and miss more keystrokes on a membrane keyboard than I do with an MX based keyboard, as do many typists. To say they're placebo only really enforces that you haven't had hands on time with good quality keyboard. The fact that you don't need to bottom them out to actuate them is a real benefit.
Now if you wanted to talk about RGB and tangible benefits, I completely agree. Other than a potential cool factor, and helping those that have yet to master their layout I can't think of a way that this actually helps.
I may believe you if you're talking about using it on a hosted system that is alotting you a considerably powerful processor, with 2GB RAM +, and has a Geforce GPU that is capable of GameStream with the IOMMU handing all IO of that card to the guest operating system. Other than that, I would say that you have a very lenient measurement of "laggy", as pretty much any RDP client is going to forgo frame rate and quality in favor of attempting to maintain a user experience that doesn't come at a large cost of bandwidth.
