Review Summary

I bought my Predator Triton 17 X Gaming Laptop as the visual component to run my XPLANE 12 simulator software as part of my general aviation simulator. I am mostly a Mooney and Cessna pilot, and I need to occasionally practice flying on my homemade simulator. Previously, my old laptop could barely handle the intense graphics of XPLANE 11, and my old laptop's graphics card did not meet the requirements to upgrade to XPLANE 12. My Predator Triton 17 X Gaming Laptop is now simultaneously handling 4 monitors of avionics while vividly displaying XPLANE 12's incredible flight scenery with HDR enhancement. No frame stuttering, no crashing, and TURBO MODE fans keep the chips cool from the heavy load XPLANE 12 demands from the laptop while the Cessna's in flight. This is an incredibly powerful laptop for flying a graphically realistic and intense simulator as XPLANE 12.
