Nine Days With an Absurd $9,000 Gaming Laptop.

From gizmodo.com
There may exist inside of you a desire that burns white hot for the Acer Predator 21 X, but you will never buy this laptop. It is not for you, because if you want this laptop, you probably can’t afford it, and if you can afford it, you are probably old enough to not want to spend $9,000 on a laptop that weighs as much as a small child, and can’t even pick up after itself.
But if you’re reading Gizmodo you’re still enough of a gadget fan to want to at least understand the $9,000 laptop. To that end, I spent nine days working almost exclusively with Acer’s ode to excess.
Here is its story.

Day 1: The arrival
Our office manager looked suspiciously from me to the box, which is the size of three ten-year-olds squeezed together.
“It’s a laptop,” I explained.
While the office manager was incredulous, others were delighted. “I want to sit in the box,” a colleague shouted while snapping photos.
Following the included instructions, I managed to open the gigantic cardboard box—as well as the nearly indestructible Pelican case contained within. Desiring nothing more than to game, I plopped the Predator 21 X on my knees as I would a MacBook. Fortunately, I used to bicycle a lot, so I’ve got strong thighs that don’t weep under the weight of 19 pounds of computer—easily four times the average weight of a laptop.
When I told inquisitive on-lookers the price, they looked at me aghast. Why does a $9,000 machine exist? I didn’t have a good answer.
