The Acer Predator Triton 700 launched in 2017 as one of the first gaming laptops to squeeze desktop-class NVIDIA Pascal graphics into a genuinely thin aluminum chassis, built for gamers who wanted GTX-class performance without the bulk of a typical desktop replacement. Sold as PT715-51-732Q and PT715-51-761M, it stood out immediately for its glass-topped deck that exposes the cooling system, a low-profile mechanical keyboard set near the front edge, and a large glass trackpad positioned above it instead of below. That design still draws interest from collectors and gaming laptop enthusiasts today, and a GTX 1080 configuration in particular still has real gaming legs. Pick your graphics configuration and condition above for an instant cash offer, or see how the process works before you commit to anything. If you're clearing out other gear at the same time, you can also sell your Acer laptop lineup in one place.

Confirm you have the Predator Triton 700

The fastest reliable check is through Windows itself. Press Windows key + R, type dxdiag, and press Enter to see the exact processor, memory and graphics card installed. PredatorSense, Acer's preinstalled utility, lists the same details on its system tab. The full model number is printed on a sticker on the underside of the chassis; if it has worn off, our guide to finding your Acer model number covers the alternate ways to pull it.

PT715-51-732Q

  • Predator Triton 700 series, released 2017
  • Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor
  • NVIDIA GTX 1060 or GTX 1080 graphics, confirm with dxdiag
  • 16GB or 32GB DDR4 memory depending on configuration

PT715-51-761M

  • Predator Triton 700 series, released 2017
  • Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor
  • NVIDIA GTX 1060 or GTX 1080 graphics, confirm with dxdiag
  • Dual M.2 NVMe SSD storage, capacity varies by configuration

Prefer a visual check? Look for a glass panel across the deck that exposes the cooling pipes and fans, a mechanical keyboard set low near the front edge rather than centered, and a large glass trackpad sitting above the keyboard instead of below it. No other Acer laptop from this era uses that layout.

Display & audio

Display

A 15.6-inch Full HD (1920x1080) IPS panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and a matte, anti-glare finish. Built for smooth competitive gaming rather than color-critical work.

Audio

Stereo speakers built into the chassis handle gaming and media well enough, though most owners reach for a headset or Bluetooth audio for anything more demanding.

Ports & connectivity

Acer kept the Triton 700 well connected considering how thin the chassis is.

Wired
  • 1x Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C)
  • 3x USB 3.0 Type-A
  • HDMI 2.0
  • Mini DisplayPort
  • Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45)
  • Headphone/mic combo jack
Wireless
  • 802.11ac Wi-Fi
  • Bluetooth

Battery, build & more

Battery

Battery life runs short next to a thin-and-light ultrabook. Packing a Kaby Lake H-series CPU and a discrete Pascal GPU into a slim chassis leaves little room for a large cell, so keep the charger nearby during gaming sessions.

Dimensions & weight

The aluminum unibody keeps this laptop thin for one carrying a full-power desktop-class GPU, though it is still heavier in hand than a typical ultrabook.

Finishes

Black aluminum chassis with a glass panel across the deck that exposes the cooling fans and heat pipes, lit with RGB. The mechanical keyboard sits low near the front edge, with the trackpad positioned above it rather than below - a layout Acer used only on this generation of Triton.

Software

Shipped with Windows 10 and PredatorSense, Acer's utility for fan curves, keyboard lighting and performance profiles.

Known issues

Owners have reported thermal throttling under sustained load, a known trade-off of the thin chassis housing high-power components. The glass trackpad also shows fingerprints and smudges more readily than a standard matte one.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number or exact configuration?
Check the sticker on the underside of the laptop, or press Windows key + R, type dxdiag, and press Enter to see the processor, RAM and graphics card installed. PredatorSense also lists these details on its system tab. If the sticker has worn off or you'd rather double-check another way, our guide to finding your Acer model number walks through the alternatives.
02 How do I tell it apart from the Predator Triton 500?
The Triton 500 is the direct successor and the easiest laptop to confuse it with. It moved the keyboard back to a conventional position below a smaller trackpad, replaced the glass deck panel with solid aluminum, and used newer Intel and NVIDIA hardware from later years. If your keyboard sits low near the front edge with the trackpad above it, and the deck panel is glass rather than solid metal, you have the Triton 700.
03 Can I sell it with damage (cracked screen, weak battery, won't turn on, account lock)?
Yes, in most cases. We buy laptops with a cracked screen, a weak battery, or one that won't power on at all, and the condition picker above adjusts the offer to match what you describe. What we can't accept is a laptop still locked to someone else's Microsoft account. Remove your account from the machine and make sure BitLocker is not left active before shipping it in, since a locked laptop can't be tested or resold safely.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
The graphics card configuration matters more than anything else on this model. A GTX 1080 unit is worth noticeably more than a GTX 1060 unit in the same condition. After that, a keyboard and trackpad that both work perfectly matter a lot, since this design wears differently than a standard laptop, along with a screen free of dead pixels and a glass deck panel without cracks or chips, since this laptop's identity depends on that design holding up.
05 How do I erase it and remove my accounts, and how do I get paid?
Go to Settings → System → Recovery → Reset this PC and choose to remove everything. Before you do, sign in to account.microsoft.com and remove this device from your Microsoft account, and if BitLocker is enabled, suspend or decrypt it so the reset isn't blocked partway through. Once the reset finishes, the laptop is ready to ship. Shipping is free and insured, and payment goes out after testing by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp or check. Full steps and specifics are on our data erasure protocols page.
