October 10, 2012 at 14:49A small review of the big computer Acer Predator
While I was testing Acer Predator G7760 - there was not a single person who would come in and not ask "what is this thing ??".
This computer, at least, catches the eye. And as a maximum - it gives heat.
Before you - a gaming computer - Acer Predator (Predator):
Dimensions: 490x430x190 mm
Weight: 15 kg
Model: Aspire Predator G7760
Processor: Intel Core i7 2600K
RAM: 12 GB DDR3
Hard disk: SSD (64 GB) + HDD (1 TB)
Chipset: intel Z68
Video card: 2x nVidia GTX560Ti
Network: 10/100/1000 Mbit / s
Drive: DVD-RW, as well as a Blu-ray drive.
Number of USB ports: 12 pcs.
Operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Kit: PC, mouse, keyboard
Country of manufacture: Hungary
In general, it’s already good, for a home computer it’s cool. It all works very smoothly and quickly.
Outwardly, it looks like this: a huge shiny metallic black case with orange inserts (also plastic). It looks impressive, but the “visor” of the front panel gives a special shine.
In the open form on the front panel are available: two drives (DVD-RW, Blu-Ray), a card reader, as well as a hard drive bay.
When closed, everything is elegant and stylish.
Cool ventilation grills complement the image of the “predator”.
On the back wall is a bunch of connectors - enough for everyone. As well as the connectors of two video cards. You can directly connect 8 monitors. And how many through Display Port - count yourself.
By the way, they did not deprive the PS / 2 connectors, although the complete keyboard and mouse are USB. Also pleased with the BIOS reset button on the rear panel. Suddenly you wind something wrong? But the machine has overclocking - you can increase the processor frequency, memory voltage, smoothly change almost all cooling parameters.
Only two USB 3.0 ports are upsetting (you could have done 6).
The interiors of the device are as follows: There is a
lot of room for upgrade.
A separate word deserves the placement of hard drives. They are sitting in a separate compartment, with their carriages. Each hard drive can be "hot" replaced (just like in server enclosures).
As I already wrote, there are two drives. They open very effectively - revealing a kind of "claws" of a predator.
The power button is triangular chrome, with an indication of the network, hard drive, and also, in fact, power.
Special attention is required to complete the keyboard and mouse. This is not a “dump” -set. This is really good keyboard and mouse!
The keyboard is compact, with an interesting trick: the arrow keys are located on our keyboard. Switching from the controller to the arrows is done by a special button.
The mouse is also cool. With backlight and lots of buttons.
Yes, even the USB connectors of the manipulators are already worth a lot!
The system is based on the Core i7 2600K processor (4 cores, 8 threads, up to 3.8 GHz, 32nm, 95W TDP) and 12 gigabytes of RAM.
The storage medium is a bunch of SSDs and a regular hard drive (7200 rpm).
Undoubtedly, windows 7 liked it all:
Synthetic tests show consistently high results:
Hardware reacts to the load effortlessly. I could not load the processor and fill the memory.
Perhaps you should simultaneously play, encode video and watch FullHD remixes.
Liquid cooling does not allow to bask and burn it all.
Windows 7 Home Premium x64 operating system.
From the vendor, only proprietary utilities, mouse and keyboard drivers, and an antivirus are installed. No rubbish. Everything is for you.
Mouse and keyboard drivers help customize them to your taste.
Despite the fact that the computer is no longer a novelty, the price is still high. But, if you need a powerful, cool, reliable, and most importantly - a beautiful computer - then you are here. To the predator!
The price is approximately the following: www.amazon.co.uk/Acer-Predator-Desktop-i7-2600-Blu-ray/dp/B005ZCX7DA
