Known hardware tampering	None	[1. https://support.acer.com/cn-zh/product-support/PT316-54/manuals 2. https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/acer-predator-triton-neo-16]	Ultra-thin chassis uses precision-machined aluminum alloy and anti-tamper screws; core components (CPU/GPU) are soldered or require specialized tools for disassembly. No public records of hardware tampering.
Known vulnerabilities	Rare	[1. https://www.acer.com/us-en/support/security-bulletins 2.]	Occasional low-risk vulnerabilities (e.g., early BIOS thermal management bugs) fixed via Acer’s OTA updates. No high-risk hardware flaws or large-scale security vulnerabilities reported.
Prior attacks	None	[1. https://www.cnvd.org.cn/ 2. https://www.us-cert.gov/consumer-alerts]	No targeted malicious attacks (e.g., firmware hijacking or hardware-level exploits) documented for this model. Isolated security incidents are user-side software issues (not device-specific).
Updatability	Very common	[1. https://www.acer.com.cn/support/drivers-and-utilities.html 2. Acer PredatorSense Official User Guide]	Acer provides continuous updates for BIOS, GPU drivers, and system firmware via official website and PredatorSense.
