The Acer Predator Triton 500 SE promises some serious power packed inside its small frame as it pursues a spot on the internet's best gaming laptop lists, running one of the best graphics cards for gaming as well as some other high-end components. On paper, it certainly positions itself as a top portable powerhouse from a sheer technical perspective, especially when factoring in its unique aspect ratio and emphasis on-screen quality.
The Acer Predator Triton 500 SE impresses off the bat with its all-metal construction and stellar 16:10 screen. More specifically, the screen features a WQXGA 2560 x 1600p display, which places its panel more in line with the latest 16-inch Macbook than more typical gaming laptop resolutions.
The mid-tier configs come with a 2.4-GHz Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD and Nvidia RTX 3070 or RTX 3080. For connectivity, all models support Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1.
Opening the laptop, things look a little more spacey. The keyboard looks large and comfortable with the keys sporting a font that brings to mind HAL-9000. There’s a row of trapezoidal speaker cutouts at the top of the deck that complement the futuristic look of the keyboard. The trackpad located below the keyboard is also home to the fingerprint sensor. On the bottom and at the back are large exhaust vents to help keep things cool
The Predator Triton 500 SE has a 2560 x 1600-pixel display with a refresh rate of 165Hz. Many gamers like to play at 1440p as it has a good level of detail compared to 1080p gaming without being as demanding as full-on 4K resolution.The display is matte, which minimizes reflections during gaming and shows less glare in casual use.
The Triton 500 SE has a bright display that reaches an impressive 492 nits. This exceeds the premium gaming laptop average of 321 nits and is well above the Triton’s competitors.
Seeing the speaker grill displayed so prominently on the Triton 500 SE’s keyboard deck raised the expectations for its audio quality. While not quite meeting the mark to hop for, the speakers sounded good.The speakers do a pretty good job while gaming, but it is worth noting that they do get overpowered by the fans, especially when you have Turbo mode enabled
The Predator Triton 500 SE’s island-style keyboard is roomy and the keys are comfortable to type on.
If you’re into RGB lighting on your keyboard, you might be disappointed to learn that this model does not have per-key lighting. It has zone lighting for just three separate zones which can be set in Acer’s PredatorSense app. You have a few different effect options: Breathing, Shifting, Twinkling, Neon, Zoom, Wave, Meteor, with some allowing for customization of the duration or direction of the effect.
