Acer Predator Triton 500

Ready to go on the hunt...

- Christian Guyton

ONE OF THE FIRST things we did upon unboxing Acer’s newest gaming laptop was fire up the included software, PredatorSense (which, for some reason, has its own dedicated button on the keyboard). Like many programs of its type, PredatorSense collates a suite of tools useful to gamers: fan controls, automatic overclocking functions, temperature and voltage monitors, and so on. The first feature to catch our eye was the fan boost function, so of course we merrily clicked the “Max Speed” button. Oh, there it goes—the Triton 500 has launched itself out of the window, propelled by its almighty GPU fans.
