Acer Predator Triton 900 and 500 are two new high end gaming laptops, announced at CES 2019. While Triton 900 comes with a 17″ display, 500 comes with a 15.6″ display. Both are powered by latest Intel Core chips and feature 4K display. Triton 900 features a CNC-machined Ezel Aero Hinge™ that flips, extends, or reclines the 17-inch display. Users can switch between four usage modes: Display mode for sharing the screen with friends during gaming sessions, Ezel mode for playing games on the touch screen, notebook mode for traditional gaming scenarios, and stand mode — effectively turning the Triton 900 into a tablet for gaming or using creator tools.
