Today we are taking a first look at a very interesting small-form factor gaming PC that stills packs a mighty punch. We're talking about the Predator Orion X, Acer’s new mini-ITX gaming PC that’s just about to hit the market. Available in the UK with an i9-13900KS, RTX 4080 and 32GB of DDR5 memory, it's time to take a closer look…
While we go over the key specs and features in the video, it is worth making clear that is a showcase video and not a full review. Our sample differs slightly to the one that will be available at retail in the UK, so for now the video above is a first look showcase, though we do aim to revisit the Orion X in the New Year with a full review, including all the usual details benchmarks that you'd expect.
