Acer introduced two new gaming notebooks at IFA: the Predator 15 and Predator 17. Both laptops pack a Skylake Core i7-6700HQ chip, GTX 980 graphics, up to 32GB of RAM, and a 512GB PCIe SSD. The Predator 15 has a 15.6-inch display with your choice of 1080p or 4K (3840-by-2160) resolution. Acer decided not to follow Asus’ lead by packing 4K into a 17-inch screen, opting for 1080p only on the Predator 17.

Asus has also added some neat gamer-centric features, such as a Cooler Master fan module you can slap into the optical drive bay for extra cooling during intense gaming sessions. The Predator gaming rigs are priced at $1,500 and $1,600 for the 15- and 17-inch models, respectively, and roll out in November.
