Not because it's unoptimised or broken or whatever, but because RT represents the absolute top of the ceiling beyond anything else out there. Ray tracing is, in many ways, the first time in a good couple of relative console generations that rendering tech now exists that pushes even the most cutting end, expensive PC technology to its limits. The technology is inherently emergent and the hardware required to pull it off still going through iterative developments. The rollout is as slow as it is precisely because hardware is still catching up and then some. I've said this before, but we really need to appreciate that ray tracing is not normalised technology. I think there are still bugs/quirks in the engine that are causing issues (I'm convinced there's a performance degredation problem), but I don't think people should be overly surprised that RT is so demanding.

I’m more than willing to drag my desktop and monitor to a friend’s house for a LAN party, so I don’t necessarily have a problem with the X21’s size. Those gamers, though, will also have to make the choice of paying their rent for a few months or getting a hardcore gaming rig. Its 21-inch display and massive footprint are meant to see if gamers will pony up for incredibly powerful laptops. The Acer Predator X21 is essentially a proof of concept that you can buy. It’s hard to imagine anyone trying to use this beast on the go, though, as its 20-pound body doesn’t exactly make for a comfortable lap companion on the bus.
