Triton 14: fundamentals

Returning to the star of the show, the Acer Predator Triton 14, let’s take this gaming powerhouse for a test drive and see what solar system we land on. Open the anti-fingerprint coated, smudge-free sandblasted charcoal black aluminum chassis, and you’ll discover a fully customizable per-key RGB keyboard to light up your world.

CPU

The Predator Triton 14 is powered by an (up to) Intel® Core Ultra 9 288V (Lunar Lake V) CPU. Ultra 200V series processors are the go-to choice for power users who demand thin, sleek laptops that can handle all of their requirements, providing unmatched efficiency as well as seamless performance. Delivering long battery life partnered with cool, quiet performance, the Ultra 200V series CPUs also deliver up to 48 AI TOPS, for a superior Copilot+ PC experience. Prepare for a new era of smooth performance and AI-driven task smashing with the Ultra 200V series processors.

GPU

Moving on to the graphics card, the Predator Triton 14 comes equipped with up to NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 5070 Laptop GPU (798 AI TOPS). Powered by the very latest NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, GeForce RTX 50 Series Laptop GPUs deliver game-changing capabilities for gamers and creators alike. With more growl than a grizzly bear, the RTX 50 Series kicks open the door to a brave new world of gaming and creation experiences imbued with next-level graphics fidelity. On top of vastly improved graphics, NVIDIA DLSS 4 provides you with a revolutionary suite of neural rendering technologies that uses AI to boost FPS, reduce latency, and augment image quality. Finally, NVIDIA Studio will unshackle your creativity, while multiplying your performance and generating images at speeds unseen. We could go on all day about these GPUs and the boost they’ll give to your gaming and creativity, but let’s get back to the beast, and check out the innovative display.

OLED & finger touch

Turn on the Triton 14, and you’ll discover breathtaking visuals, courtesy of the 14.5-inch OLED display. All of your favorite gaming and creative content come to life with unmatched clarity at a WQXGA+ resolution of 2880 x 1800. Unsure, well certified full-spectrum color accuracy leaves no doubts, as the Triton 14 display has 100% DCI-P3 and is Calman Verified. A stand out feature of this display is the responsive finger touch support: interact effortlessly with your screen, for a truly intuitive and seamless user experience.

Haptic touchpad & active stylus

The Triton 14 excels at lifting the overall user experience to new levels, thanks to the intuitive haptic touch pad and stylus. Providing tactile feedback, the haptic touchpad improves control with increased accuracy and responsiveness. This touchpad skips on metallic buttons, for a sleeker, minimalist design that also boosts longevity.

Stylus support is another cool feature of the Triton 14. The bundled active stylus is your ticket to efficient interaction with AI tools, providing a fresh approach to inputting ideas. With no setup required, simply pick up and write while the active stylus detects 4,096 pressure levels, provides tilt support, and a responsive 10g-450g pen tip force, for an authentic writing and drawing experience.

Effortlessly cool

With all of this power comes great responsibility. To stay cool. Thankfully, the Triton 14 is equipped with a veritable arsenal of state-of-the-art cooling technologies, notably Graphene TIM (Thermal Interface Material -not a reissue of The Replacements album). Offering 14.5% increase in thermal capacity over traditional thermal grease, Graphene TIM is lightweight, low density, and the way forward when it comes to reducing heat buildup and maintaining system stability under the scale-tipping loads. Let’s not forget the dual 6th Gen AeroBlade metal fans with the world’s thinnest blades, as well as the vapor chamber and Vortex Flow technology to ensure that the Triton 14 stays constantly cool.

AI throughout

The pulse of AI runs through the Triton 14’s metal veins. From human presence detection powered by AI vision sensors to enhance your security and save your battery to Acer’s very own AI features, this is an AI augmented beast. Take control and personalize your device with PredatorSense: all of the laptop’s AI related features conveniently located in one easily accessible app.
