Powered by the 10th gen Intel Core processor, the new Predator Triton 500 also has up to Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER or 2080 SUPER GPUs. These implement the Max-Q design, and it is backed with 7.5 hours of battery life. For its display, it has a 15.6-inch IPS display with a 300Hz refresh rate and 3ms overdrive response time. It also covers 100% of the sRGB colour gamut, while supporting the Nvidia G-Sync technology.

Connectivity wise, the Predator Triton 500 is packed with a Killer Wi-Fi AX1650i wireless controller, E3100G ethernet controller, and the Control Center 2.0 to further improve network connections. Apart from that, it is also paired with up to 32GB of DDR4 RAM and up to 2TB of NVMe SSD storage in the RAID0 configuration.

To increase additional airflow and at the same time reduce noise, Acer fitted the Predator Triton 500 with its Vortex Flow technology and CoolBoost technology. To monitor the PC’s overall performance, gamers can do that with the PredatorSense UI. To keep the laptop cool at all times, there is now the 4th generation AeroBlade 3D fan built right in. That gives it up to 45% increase in airflow, and the five heat pipes in use adds 33% improved thermal performance from its 2019 predecessor.

The Acer Nitro 5 comes with a dual-fan cooling system to achieve an overall 25% improvement in thermal performance over its 2019 model. This is then made even better with the CoolBoosttechnology that is capable of increasing the fan speed by 10% and CPU/GPU cooling by 9%. On top of that, there is also the inclusion of the Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 (802.11ax) and Killer Ethernet E2600 networking modules.
