when you talk about PC gaming these days you really have to focus on virtual reality that requires some very high-end parts the gaming desktops can usually handle a gaming laptops cannot so Acer in their new updated predator line they had a laptop that's actually VR ready one of the first times we've seen that we've seen a couple of models before they all share the same basic feature which is that they're very thick because they've managed to squeeze in a desktop graphics card into a laptop body and that's what they do here in the Acer predator 17 X so that should give you enough power to run an oculus rift or an HTC vive something again very few laptops can do if you do want to go full desktop the predator g1 has room for a full size of graphics card up to a geforce gtx titan x you're probably more likely to put a chief or a regular 980 card in there the nice thing is this system is it's a mini tower so it's a lot smaller than the gigantic desk hogging desktops that you see we've seen some other v already many times before Alienware has one origin has one Falcon Northwest has one but I like that this one has a little pullout slot for your headphone and apparently the first thousand people who buy it are going to get a suitcase that matches it you can fit it right inside your suitcase card it to your french house for some VR fun the predator 17 X is gonna be $27.99 when it comes out in June then that's about standard for one of these gaming laptops with the desktop GPUs inside and the predator g1 desktop it's going to start at 20 299 when it's available in July and again that's about what you're gonna pay for a high level desktop gaming computer that's ready for virtual reality
