Pros and Cons

Acer Predator Triton 17X

Strengths

The laptop is amazing, with a great performance on power. The build quality is top-notch, with no plastic used, only metal.
It can pull demanding games like Star Citizen in really good performance without any issues.
The RTX 490 laptop allows for DLSS support and 3.5 DLS and frame generation, adding character to the laptop.
The speakers are decent, with a good sound quality if you're right in front of the laptop.

Weaknesses

The software can be slow at times, which is a downside for some users.
Not being able to overclock or undervolt the CPU and GPU is a limitation.
The latency on the speakers is not great but not terrible either.
The battery life could be improved as it was mentioned that the laptop might need recharging during long flights.

Acer Predator Helios 16

Strengths

The powerful graphics and processor combo and great display are spot on for this price point.
It's simply one of the best laptops to play demanding games on.
The keyboard above the touchpad has keys that press and rebound with the right level of tension, and they're stiff enough to avoid accidental presses.
Each key dips in the middle, guiding your fingers into position during hectic gaming sessions.
The 2560 x 1600 pixel display, with a refresh rate of 240Hz is bright, detailed, and colorful, with pin-sharp faces, crisp particle effects, and suitably foreboding dark areas.
The touchpad is ultra responsive to movements, taps, and zoom swipes. Not once did my tap fail to register, and not once did it mistake a tap for a mouse click.
The keys on the keyboard are stiff enough to avoid accidental presses, and they're guided into position by each key dipping in the middle.
The laptop's cooling system is immaculate, with the body barely getting hotter than lukewarm when powering through recent games at max settings.
