Acer Predator 15 and 17
The Predator gaming notebook comes with ‘Killer DoubleShot Pro’, a new technology that enables Ethernet and WiFi connections to work together. The Predator 15 notebook line includes models with 15.6-inch Full HD or 4K (3840×2160) Ultra HD panels. The Predator 17 notebooks feature 17.3-inch Full HD displays. Both lines support up to three displays including one NVIDIA G-SYNC monitor for the ultimate in-gaming visuals and realism.
For extreme gamers who need to keep their notebook operating at lower temperatures, Predator FrostCore allows them to further enhance their notebook’s performance as needed.
It consists of a swappable Cooler Master fan module, exclusive to Acer, which can be inserted into the notebook’s optical disk drive bay to cool down intense gaming sessions.

By removing dust and maintaining a cool temperature, Predator DustDefender enhances user comfort, extends the notebook’s lifespan and ensures that the performance is consistent.
Lastly, the CoolBoost technology allows for custom adjustments to the fans’ airflow. A Turbo Mode option delivers maximum fan speed and cooling power when heavy use requires an added boost.
