Predator Atlas 8 is an Acer gaming handheld built around Intel’s new Arc G3 processor line. The device includes an 8-inch 1,920 x 1,200 500-nit IPS display with a 120Hz variable refresh rate, an 80Wh battery, 1TB storage, and up to 24GB of shared memory. It offers Hall Effect analog triggers, a Gorilla Glass Victus front panel, a microSD card reader, and two Thunderbolt 4 ports. Internally, it supports up to Arc B390 graphics and Intel XESS 3 AI-powered upscaling to reduce stutter and input lag while increasing maximum FPS. It uses an Endurance Gaming protocol to balance performance and power draw. It runs full Windows 11 with a dedicated Xbox Game Bar button, includes an updated AeroBlade fan with improved airflow, dual 2W DTS:X Ultra speakers, Wi-Fi 7, and a trigger actuation switch for different game types.
"While Acer isn't introducing a ton of major changes to its chassis or general design, the Atlas 8 features a solid assortment of core components including an 8-inch 1,920 x 1,200 500-nit IPs display with a 120Hz variable refresh rate, a large 80WHr battery, 1TB of storage and up to 24GB of shared memory."
"These chips support up to Arc B390 graphics along with Intel's XESS 3 AI-powered upscaling to reduce stutter and input lag while increasing max fps. And to help preserve battery life, Intel's latest silicon uses a new Endurance Gaming protocol that seeks to balance performance and power draw so you can play longer without needing to plug the Atlas into the wall."
"Some other notable inclusions range from Hall Effect analog triggers to a Gorilla Glass Victus panel in front, a microSD card reader and not one but two Thunderbolt 4 ports. Meanwhile, on the inside, Acer is looking to provide a higher tier of mobile performance by using either Intel Arc G3 or G3 Extreme processors."
"Finally, Acer is putting its touch on the category with an updated AeroBlade fan, which the company says delivers 10 percent better airflow than what you get on previous models. There are also dual two-watt speakers with DTS:X Ultra audio and support for Wi-Fi 7. And for anyone who likes to adjust trigger feedback based on the type of game they are playing, Acer included a switch that allows for super shallow actuation in shooters or a deeper pull with analog sensitivity for flight sims, racing games and more."
