That flat-out decimates the 121- percent average as well as the Titan (114 percent) and the Alienware 17 (113 percent). The reason those colors are nearly bursting from the display is the panel's color reproduction, which we measured at 172 percent of the sRGB color gamut. Details were clear enough that I could see just about every tightly coiled hair on the head of the sniper perched at his post. Watching Tears of Steel, I couldn't help but admire the dilapidated beauty of a war-battered building, including its dusty gold accents gleaming against powder-blue pillars. Once I booted the laptop up, I felt like I was swaddled in vivid color. The curvature of the 21-inch, 2560 x 1080 matte display is tantalizing. I didn't know I needed or wanted a curved display on a laptop until I laid eyes on the Predator 21 X. The case has an adjustable handle and four sturdy polyurethane wheels to help you get it from point A to point B. And in case you end up in some unforeseen calamity, it's also crushproof. The hard-shell storage device is watertight and dustproof. Since there aren't many backpacks that can fit the gigantic machine and all of its accoutrements, the Predator 21 X ships with its own gigantic carrying case. The laptop also ships with a large palm rest to keep your wrists nice and comfy.

To save a little space, the Predator 21 X ships with an X-shaped rubber holder to house the mini-behemoths. Similar to the Eon17 and Titan, the Predator 21 X is powered by two huge power bricks, each weighing 2.8 pounds. At the system's rear, you'll find a USB Type-C port, a Thunderbolt 3 port, Gigabit Ethernet, two DisplayPorts, HDMI and a pair of DC jacks. On the left, you get two more USB 3.0 ports, an SD card reader and jacks for a headset and mic. Along the Predator 21 X's right are a pair of USB 3.0 ports and a Kensington lock slot. If the Predator 21 X's curved display isn't enough for you, the laptop has plenty of ports to support a monitor or two - and a mouse, an external hard drive or whatever you want to plug in.
