Helios 700 Will acer ever refresh the 21x?

Mangalam

It was my dream to buy a 21x but they all are out of stock, gtx 1080 sli is also NOW not worth the money a RTX 3080 will able to beat it easily. I just wanted to ask that will acer ever refresh it with a 200w rtx RTX 3080 with a desktop ryzen 9/i9 or like a rtx 3080 sli (maybe?), if yes then I wait or I just go for msi GT76 Titan.

@Mangalam no unfortunately the 21x was a very limited expensive edition a £10000 laptop too expensive to manufacture and not really worth the money as theres not much profit to earn from it neither any market every manufacturer are in this to win money not loose if theres no market for a product it will be permanently discontinued and who was fortunate to be able to afford one wont sell it either its already kinda a museum piece as theres nothing like it so there wont be any refresh of it neither will any be anything similar made by any manufacturer even today with 2 1080 its still a beast i have asked acer staff a couple years ago the same exact question and they said definitely not i would also love to own one but only in dreams because in reality that will never happen

Most probably yes not sure all depends on how many they sold if its not profitable they will drop it plus its  but you should still see some selling plus the H500 its way older and they are doing a refresh so might also do one for the H700 (not cheap though) so yeah its always a risk releasing a new product if it doesnt sell enough wont last long  also you have to bare in mind the H700 its not for the average user wallet its a very expensive machine that most wouldnt be able to afford but hey they have refreshed from 9th gen to 10th so not bad
