While the Acer Predator 21 X comes with two GTX 1080 graphics cards in SLI, the Asus ROG Zephyrus GX501 ‘only’ comes with one.

While it doesn’t hit that magical 60 frames per second (fps) on Ultra, it still blows its closest competitor, the Asus ROG Zephyrus GX501 out of the water, as it managed 18 fps in the same tests.

The lid on the other hand is not quite as sturdy we can easily twist it, which will also result in slight color distortions on the panel. Pressure is no problem for the base and there is only minor warping. The lid has two red stripes as well as a silver Acer logo, which have a subtle red illumination when the system is running.
