The Acer Predator Triton 14 AI is now my most anticipated gaming laptop of the year

Thanks to a slick combination of premium components, a portable design and strong specs, the Acer Predator Triton 14 AI just became my most anticipated gaming laptop of the year.

Acer then turned things up a notch by equipping it with its latest sixth-gen AeroBlade fans (which are made of metal instead of plastic) and a vapor chamber. Thanks to some help from AI, the Triton's 1080p IR webcam offers human presence detection, which allows it to automatically lock itself when you walk away or dim the display when you're looking elsewhere to prevent Peeping Toms from spying on your work. It features the same display, a similar Intel Core Ultra 9 285H chip and up to an RTX 5070, but with a different (and less elegant) chassis, Wi-Fi 6E and older fifth-gen AeroBlade fans.
