Pre-orders for the Acer Predator 21 X are live on Flipkart and the gaming laptop will be available starting December 18.

In addition, the first 300 notebooks will include a limited edition series number on the panel.
The Acer Predator 21 X is based on Windows 10 and has support for Windows Hello through its front camera.
