The thing is about 50% heavier than a toughbook cf-31!

Surprised they couldin't cram a mechanical keyboard in there like MSI did.

I'm sure the Trackpad is great for gaming.

OMG, I have been waiting for 18.4" 3840x2160! Hopefully this panel will soon be used in regular desktop-replacement laptops. For example, something that looks like this: https://www.asus.com/Notebooks/K95VJ/
Dell Latitude 7370 (QHD+, 2.84lb); HP Pavilion x2 12-b096ms (1920x1280, 3.14lb); Microsoft Surface 3 (1920x1280, 2.00lb);
Dell OptiPlex 5040 SFF (Core i5-6600); Acer ET322QK, T272HUL; Crossover 404K; QNIX QHD2410R; Seiki Pro SM40UNP

Acer Predator 21X http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/08/ ... etails-uk/

Acer has unveiled some new laptops at IFA in Germany, including the utterly monstrous curved-display 21-inch Predator 21X. Acer says it's the world's first laptop with a curved screen.

Acer told Ars that the Predator 21X will weigh 8kg (17.6lbs)
