The Acer Predator 17 G9-793-77LG (Predator 17 Series) 1TB / 32GB is Acer's 2017 laptop featuring a height x width x depth (in mm): 40 x 423 x 322 ( = 1.57 x 16.65 x 12.68 in) display, the Intel Core i7-6700HQ 4c/8t 4 x 2.6 - 3.5 GHz (Intel Core i7) chipset. At AED 1,299 in the UAE and ₹31,990 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Acer Predator 17 G9-793-77LG excels with its Intel Core i7-6700HQ and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Mobile with 8GB GDDR5 VRAM, delivering strong 1080p gaming and creative workload performance. The 32GB DDR4-2400 RAM in dual-channel mode ensures smooth multitasking, while the 88Wh battery supports up to 4 hours under load—unusual for a gaming rig. This machine targets professionals running GPU-heavy applications like 3D rendering or video encoding who need portability despite the 4.23kg weight. Its weakness is thermals: sustained workloads cause loud fan noise and thermal throttling after 45 minutes. Storage is a single SATA SSD—no NVMe—limiting load times. In UAE at AED 1299, it’s good value because you’re paying under half the original price for a capable 1070 system. In India at ₹31990, it’s overpriced; newer RTX 3050 laptops offer better efficiency and warranty at similar cost.
